Hi,
I picked this up from aother forum. As I've not stayed in Hisaronu I wondered if it really is as bad as this couple say? Some of our friends are thinking of going this summer as our Villa is booked out.
Comments: This is a beautiful area of Turkey: the nearest big town is Fethiye with a great harbour, market, shops and restaurants. Oludeniz is the closest beach to Hisonaru -- only a 15min/60p dolmus ride away. It is specatacularly pretty, but the beach is a mix of sand and shingle and the sea, to be frank, was not the cleanest we have ever seen (may be down to climate at this time of year). Hisonaru, though, is a bit of a dump -some would call it 'lively', I say it is like Blackpool on speed ! More raucous bars, shops selling 'authentic' designer gear and restaurants serving Belly Buster English breakfasts all day (all prices in UK£s and all 'cheaper than Asda')than you can shy away from -- and you are doing well if you find traditional Turkish food (although noble mentions to Hisar Lokantasi and The Olive Tree)and every one with Shiekh Chust Havaluk and his friends Forfara Ten'r and Cip-As-Cips trying to drag you in. And, oh - the noise! Relentless English and Turkish pop, from 10 am until 2am .... Thankfully the Hotel Green Forest is located about 150m. from the lower, less popular and populous end of town in secluded almond and olive groves next to the cemetery. Dead quiet, you might say. Nevertheless, the hotel is clean, friendly, comfortable with a great pool (despite the pop blaring from the bar) and we had a good holiday. (Brentwood)
