Is Hisaronu really like this?

A package holiday persons view of Hisaronu
Our first visit to Turkey was in Hisaronu.  We stayed in the Pine Hills and had a great time.  It was the beginning of the season and everyone made us so welcome.  We were amazed at the hospitality and I cryed when I left.
We got home and immediately booked to go back in September direct with the hotel.
Unfortunately that visit coincided with the twin towers and our son was in New York at the time .  It took some time to find out he was safe but during that time the support we were given by the staff was comforting .  We had so many offers of mobile phones.
The following year we went to Crete for our may hols and wondered why -it was so flat compared to Turkey.
So back we went in the september and we have visited in september since.
In that time we have seen a few changes but not for the better. Obviously not as many as some of you who live out there.
On our last visit there was only two of the original staff that is now down to one.  The hotel is not what it used to be and this year we decided it was time for a change.  
This year we are going to Calis.
Hisaronu has been good to me .  I have always been able to relax there but I am looking forward to a new place and from what I have seen on this site Calis sounds like it could fit the bill.

I hope your not too disappointed Heather, people tend to like one or the other.. (not that I'm slating Calis before you all jump on me) I sincerley hope you have a great time

Thank you Babayard
I am sure I wont be disappointed.  I visited it once by accident(went to Fethiye and heard the Dolmus guy say calis beach so hopped on there instead)  
The scenery is lovely, we are next to a beach, word has it that there is a good selection of bars and restuarants and I know some of the surrounding area.
My only problem is the amount I want to do and whether I can fit it into a week.  Oh and having to wait until september

Sounds like you have a good spot Sleuth. I think I know where you are, we used to stop at the Dedem hotel which was out towards the forest. Babayard, we are at the top of the lane where the new football stadium is being built. Are you anywhere near??

[BabaYard]

Hi Sue, no we are just off the big hill (babadag road) that the paraglider trucks use. The origonal Hanel Xanthos 1 Villas

sorry but hisaronu like most tourist places is loud at night, the thing with hisaronu is they have to turn the music down at midnight, only clubs with special glazing and licence's can stay open after 3am. lots of varied restaurants to choose from english and turkish food. and is quiet during the day. winter is nice as only a few places open, except new years eve when everything opens just for that 1 night.

This is the most honest reply in this thread.

Does it really matter if you like or dislike Calis, Hisaronu, Oludeniz, Fethiye etc.etc. Most of us have chosen to be where we are and all for our own personal reasons. None of us have to go to a place we don't like but lets not knock where some one else has chosen to live or to suggest my place is better than your place! That's what we did when we were six and said "my dad can beat your dad up"

I agree DJ Dave my place is in Hisaronu, I like it. And comparisons to other places are best kept quite as comments might offend.
