Hi there, great vlog. Ive not done that side of Turkey, as a single 53 year old man where would you recommend? Ovacik, Fethiye, Olu Deniz or Callis? I dont mind a bar with some chilled music, but dont like loud etc. What would you recommend, I was thinking of Callis.
@andyc882Ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for your comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Any of the places you mention would be pretty good, but çalis is definitely a good compromise of beach/bars/general life. Close to Fethiye too, if you fancy a trip into town 😁

GORKEM HOTEL. I had an incredibly bad experience at the Gorkem hotel ovacik which was booked through Travel Republic. The staff made me feel unwelcome, and the breakfast was dire-a half slice of sausage if I was lucky, not enough to feed a cat, with the dog that was begging for food at the table. The room was poorly attended; a wet bath towel was left outside to dry and was never changed. The cleaner left the door open, leaving the room unsecured. There was no fridge, and the shower water was warm if I was lucky in the morning and freezing cold at night. When I came back late after enjoying my day away, I ordered a drink from an unmotivated barman. The security guard mentioned that the barman wanted to go to bed soon. It was very dangerous walking back from the main road where the bus stops to the hotel at night. There was no street lighting, and packs of wild dogs were roaming. Solo travelers could easily be robbed by locals or attacked by dogs. Overall, the room was basically clean but lacked a fridge, had a poor shower, and had poor room security. The customer service was abysmal, and the staff were unmotivated. Additionally, calls from an adjacent mosque at 4:00 a.m. woke me in the early hours of the morning. Travel Republic was responsible for this fiasco. I would give this hotel a rating of 1/10. J'ai eu une expérience incroyablement mauvaise dans cet hôtel, réservé via Travel Republic. Le personnel m'a fait sentir indésirable et le petit-déjeuner était désastreux-une demi-tranche de saucisse si j'avais de la chance, à peine de quoi nourrir un chat, avec le chien qui mendiait de la nourriture à table. La chambre était mal entretenue; une serviette de bain mouillée a été laissée à l'extérieur pour sécher et n'a jamais été changée. La femme de ménage a laissé la porte ouverte, laissant la chambre non sécurisée. Il n'y avait pas de réfrigérateur, et l'eau de la douche était tiède si j'avais de la chance le matin et glaciale la nuit. Quand je suis rentré tard après avoir profité de ma journée, j'ai commandé un verre à un barman non motivé. Le garde de sécurité m'a dit que le barman voulait aller se coucher bientôt. Il était très dangereux de marcher de la route principale où les bus s'arrêtent jusqu'à l'hôtel la nuit. Il n'y avait pas d'éclairage public, et des meutes de chiens sauvages rôdaient. Les voyageurs seuls pouvaient facilement être volés par des locaux ou attaqués par des chiens. En général, la chambre était relativement propre mais manquait de réfrigérateur, avait une mauvaise douche et une sécurité de la chambre insuffisante. Le service client était déplorable, et le personnel n'était pas motivé. De plus, les appels d'une mosquée adjacente à 4h00 du matin me réveillaient aux petites heures du matin. Travel Republic est responsable de ce fiasco. Je donnerais à cet hôtel une note de 1/10. Ich hatte eine unglaublich schlechte Erfahrung in diesem Hotel, das über Travel Republic gebucht wurde. Das Personal ließ mich unwillkommen fühlen, und das Frühstück war katastrophal - eine halbe Wurstscheibe, wenn ich Glück hatte, nicht genug, um eine Katze zu füttern, mit dem Hund, der am Tisch um Essen bettelte. Das Zimmer war schlecht gepflegt; ein nasses Badetuch wurde draußen zum Trocknen aufgehängt und nie gewechselt. Die Reinigungskraft ließ die Tür offen, wodurch das Zimmer ungesichert war. Es gab keinen Kühlschrank und das Duschwasser war, wenn ich Glück hatte, morgens warm und abends eiskalt. Als ich nach einem langen Tag spät zurückkam, bestellte ich ein Getränk bei einem unmotivierten Barkeeper. Der Sicherheitsdienst erwähnte, dass der Barkeeper bald ins Bett gehen wollte. Es war sehr gefährlich, nachts von der Hauptstraße, wo die Busse halten, zum Hotel zurückzugehen. Es gab keine Straßenbeleuchtung und Rudel von wilden Hunden streunten umher. Alleinreisende könnten leicht von Einheimischen ausgeraubt oder von Hunden angegriffen werden. Insgesamt war das Zimmer im Grunde sauber, aber es fehlte ein Kühlschrank, die Dusche war schlecht und die Sicherheit des Zimmers war unzureichend. Der Kundenservice war miserabel und das Personal war unmotiviert. Außerdem weckten mich die Rufe einer angrenzenden Moschee um 4:00 Uhr morgens. Travel Republic war für dieses Fiasko verantwortlich. Ich würde diesem Hotel eine Bewertung von 1/10 geben. У меня был невероятно плохой опыт в этом отеле, забронированном через Travel Republic. Персонал заставил меня почувствовать себя нежеланным гостем, а завтрак был ужасным - пол куска сосиски, если повезет, недостаточно даже для кошки, с собакой, которая просила еду у стола. Номер был плохо убран; мокрое полотенце для ванны оставили сушиться снаружи и никогда не меняли. Уборщица оставила дверь открытой, оставив номер без присмотра. В номере не было холодильника, а вода в душе была теплой утром, если повезет, и ледяной ночью. Когда я вернулся поздно вечером после проведенного дня, я заказал напиток у немотивированного бармена. Охранник сказал, что бармен хочет скоро пойти спать. Было очень опасно идти ночью от главной дороги, где останавливаются автобусы, до отеля. Не было уличного освещения, и по округе бродили стаи диких собак. Одинокие путешественники могли легко быть ограблены местными жителями или атакованы собаками. В целом, номер был в основном чистым, но в нем не было холодильника, душ был плохой, а безопасность номера - неудовлетворительной. Обслуживание клиентов было отвратительным, и персонал был немотивированным. Кроме того, призывы из соседней мечети в 4:00 утра будили меня рано утром. Travel Republic несет ответственность за этот провал. Я бы поставил этому отелю оценку 1/10. Bu otelde, Travel Republic aracılığıyla rezervasyon yaptırdığım inanılmaz derecede kötü bir deneyim yaşadım. Personel bana kendimi hoş karşılanmamış hissettirdi ve kahvaltı berbattı-şanslıysam yarım dilim sosis, bir kediyi bile doyurmak için yeterli değil, masada yiyecek dilenen köpekle birlikte. Oda kötü şekilde bakılmıştı; dışarıda kuruması için bırakılan ıslak bir banyo havlusu asla değiştirilmedi. Temizlik görevlisi kapıyı açık bırakarak odayı güvensiz hale getirdi. Odada buzdolabı yoktu ve duş suyu sabahları şanslıysam ılıktı, geceleri ise buz gibi soğuktu. Günümü geçirdikten sonra geç saatlerde otele döndüğümde, isteksiz bir barmenden bir içki sipariş ettim. Güvenlik görevlisi, barmenin yakında yatmak istediğini söyledi. Otobüs duraklarının bulunduğu ana yoldan otele gece yürümek çok tehlikeliydi. Sokak lambası yoktu ve vahşi köpek sürüleri dolaşıyordu. Yalnız seyahat edenler, yerel halk tarafından kolayca soyulabilir veya köpekler tarafından saldırıya uğrayabilirdi. Genel olarak, oda temelde temizdi ancak buzdolabı yoktu, duş kötüydü ve oda güvenliği yetersizdi. Müşteri hizmetleri berbattı ve personel isteksizdi. Ayrıca, sabahın erken saatlerinde, sabah 4:00'te bitişikteki camiden gelen ezan sesleri beni uyandırıyordu. Travel Republic bu fiyaskodan sorumludur. Bu otele 1/10 puan verirdim.

Hi Jen, glad you liked the video, there are definitely buses to Malaga from Torrox, although we had a hire car so didn’t use them and couldn’t say how frequent they are. If you’re staying in Torrox pueblo there are a lot of small independent shops that will cover what you need, but if you are down on the Costa then there is a Lidl, Aldi and Mercadona. If you find yourself in mercadona (and you like red wine) I thoroughly recommend ‘The Guvnor’. The bottle looks terrible, but the wine is superb!

Hi Laura, I don’t know that hotel but I don’t think it’s far from Orka world water park, which I think a 6 year old would love! If you are looking to go to the beach it is worth heading down to olu deniz and turn right where the dolmus drops you off to head to the blue lagoon ( it’s a lot more small child friendly than the main beach, s as the water is much shallower). I’m sure you’ll have a great time there as everybody makes a big fuss off the kids (especially the little ones)

Hi Paulo, the beach along the frontage of the hotel is kept very clean (and that is quite a large area), however once you are past the ends of the hotel there is a lot of plastic waste on the beach up past the high tide mark. It’s quite sobering when you see the amount and is a real shame given the beauty of the beach.

Hey mate great video. How was the club? How far along beach can you walk? Do the staff speak English. How was the airport experience

Thanks Jordan, glad you liked it! You can walk easily for a good few miles in either direction of the hotel along the beach and once you get a few meters past the ends of the hotel you’ll have the place to yourself pretty much. All the staff are super friendly and pretty well all speak good English. Airport was pretty good too. Definitely a good experience there!

Enjoyed the video pal can you tell me what it is like in ovakic and is it quiet or lively at night?.. We are looking at holidays to Turkey and can't decide!

Glad you liked the video! Ovacik is pretty relaxed, a few bars and restaurants within easy walks but nothing too wild! If you’re looking for a more lively night out then Hisaronu has all the bars you could want. It’s a 20 minute walk down the hill (or 5 minutes on the dolmus). Hope you have a great holiday!

It's a pity that you speak very unclearly.
I know, I struggle to get the sound quality right, filming in noisy environments, it is difficult to correct sound without sounding like a robot!
Hi there, great vlog. Ive not done that side of Turkey, as a single 53 year old man where would you recommend? Ovacik, Fethiye, Olu Deniz or Callis? I dont mind a bar with some chilled music, but dont like loud etc. What would you recommend, I was thinking of Callis.
Hi, thanks for your comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Any of the places you mention would be pretty good, but çalis is definitely a good compromise of beach/bars/general life. Close to Fethiye too, if you fancy a trip into town 😁
GORKEM HOTEL. I had an incredibly bad experience at the Gorkem hotel ovacik which was booked through Travel Republic. The staff made me feel unwelcome, and the breakfast was dire-a half slice of sausage if I was lucky, not enough to feed a cat, with the dog that was begging for food at the table. The room was poorly attended; a wet bath towel was left outside to dry and was never changed. The cleaner left the door open, leaving the room unsecured. There was no fridge, and the shower water was warm if I was lucky in the morning and freezing cold at night. When I came back late after enjoying my day away, I ordered a drink from an unmotivated barman. The security guard mentioned that the barman wanted to go to bed soon. It was very dangerous walking back from the main road where the bus stops to the hotel at night. There was no street lighting, and packs of wild dogs were roaming. Solo travelers could easily be robbed by locals or attacked by dogs. Overall, the room was basically clean but lacked a fridge, had a poor shower, and had poor room security. The customer service was abysmal, and the staff were unmotivated. Additionally, calls from an adjacent mosque at 4:00 a.m. woke me in the early hours of the morning. Travel Republic was responsible for this fiasco. I would give this hotel a rating of 1/10. J'ai eu une expérience incroyablement mauvaise dans cet hôtel, réservé via Travel Republic. Le personnel m'a fait sentir indésirable et le petit-déjeuner était désastreux-une demi-tranche de saucisse si j'avais de la chance, à peine de quoi nourrir un chat, avec le chien qui mendiait de la nourriture à table. La chambre était mal entretenue; une serviette de bain mouillée a été laissée à l'extérieur pour sécher et n'a jamais été changée. La femme de ménage a laissé la porte ouverte, laissant la chambre non sécurisée. Il n'y avait pas de réfrigérateur, et l'eau de la douche était tiède si j'avais de la chance le matin et glaciale la nuit. Quand je suis rentré tard après avoir profité de ma journée, j'ai commandé un verre à un barman non motivé. Le garde de sécurité m'a dit que le barman voulait aller se coucher bientôt. Il était très dangereux de marcher de la route principale où les bus s'arrêtent jusqu'à l'hôtel la nuit. Il n'y avait pas d'éclairage public, et des meutes de chiens sauvages rôdaient. Les voyageurs seuls pouvaient facilement être volés par des locaux ou attaqués par des chiens. En général, la chambre était relativement propre mais manquait de réfrigérateur, avait une mauvaise douche et une sécurité de la chambre insuffisante. Le service client était déplorable, et le personnel n'était pas motivé. De plus, les appels d'une mosquée adjacente à 4h00 du matin me réveillaient aux petites heures du matin. Travel Republic est responsable de ce fiasco. Je donnerais à cet hôtel une note de 1/10. Ich hatte eine unglaublich schlechte Erfahrung in diesem Hotel, das über Travel Republic gebucht wurde. Das Personal ließ mich unwillkommen fühlen, und das Frühstück war katastrophal - eine halbe Wurstscheibe, wenn ich Glück hatte, nicht genug, um eine Katze zu füttern, mit dem Hund, der am Tisch um Essen bettelte. Das Zimmer war schlecht gepflegt; ein nasses Badetuch wurde draußen zum Trocknen aufgehängt und nie gewechselt. Die Reinigungskraft ließ die Tür offen, wodurch das Zimmer ungesichert war. Es gab keinen Kühlschrank und das Duschwasser war, wenn ich Glück hatte, morgens warm und abends eiskalt. Als ich nach einem langen Tag spät zurückkam, bestellte ich ein Getränk bei einem unmotivierten Barkeeper. Der Sicherheitsdienst erwähnte, dass der Barkeeper bald ins Bett gehen wollte. Es war sehr gefährlich, nachts von der Hauptstraße, wo die Busse halten, zum Hotel zurückzugehen. Es gab keine Straßenbeleuchtung und Rudel von wilden Hunden streunten umher. Alleinreisende könnten leicht von Einheimischen ausgeraubt oder von Hunden angegriffen werden. Insgesamt war das Zimmer im Grunde sauber, aber es fehlte ein Kühlschrank, die Dusche war schlecht und die Sicherheit des Zimmers war unzureichend. Der Kundenservice war miserabel und das Personal war unmotiviert. Außerdem weckten mich die Rufe einer angrenzenden Moschee um 4:00 Uhr morgens. Travel Republic war für dieses Fiasko verantwortlich. Ich würde diesem Hotel eine Bewertung von 1/10 geben. У меня был невероятно плохой опыт в этом отеле, забронированном через Travel Republic. Персонал заставил меня почувствовать себя нежеланным гостем, а завтрак был ужасным - пол куска сосиски, если повезет, недостаточно даже для кошки, с собакой, которая просила еду у стола. Номер был плохо убран; мокрое полотенце для ванны оставили сушиться снаружи и никогда не меняли. Уборщица оставила дверь открытой, оставив номер без присмотра. В номере не было холодильника, а вода в душе была теплой утром, если повезет, и ледяной ночью. Когда я вернулся поздно вечером после проведенного дня, я заказал напиток у немотивированного бармена. Охранник сказал, что бармен хочет скоро пойти спать. Было очень опасно идти ночью от главной дороги, где останавливаются автобусы, до отеля. Не было уличного освещения, и по округе бродили стаи диких собак. Одинокие путешественники могли легко быть ограблены местными жителями или атакованы собаками. В целом, номер был в основном чистым, но в нем не было холодильника, душ был плохой, а безопасность номера - неудовлетворительной. Обслуживание клиентов было отвратительным, и персонал был немотивированным. Кроме того, призывы из соседней мечети в 4:00 утра будили меня рано утром. Travel Republic несет ответственность за этот провал. Я бы поставил этому отелю оценку 1/10. Bu otelde, Travel Republic aracılığıyla rezervasyon yaptırdığım inanılmaz derecede kötü bir deneyim yaşadım. Personel bana kendimi hoş karşılanmamış hissettirdi ve kahvaltı berbattı-şanslıysam yarım dilim sosis, bir kediyi bile doyurmak için yeterli değil, masada yiyecek dilenen köpekle birlikte. Oda kötü şekilde bakılmıştı; dışarıda kuruması için bırakılan ıslak bir banyo havlusu asla değiştirilmedi. Temizlik görevlisi kapıyı açık bırakarak odayı güvensiz hale getirdi. Odada buzdolabı yoktu ve duş suyu sabahları şanslıysam ılıktı, geceleri ise buz gibi soğuktu. Günümü geçirdikten sonra geç saatlerde otele döndüğümde, isteksiz bir barmenden bir içki sipariş ettim. Güvenlik görevlisi, barmenin yakında yatmak istediğini söyledi. Otobüs duraklarının bulunduğu ana yoldan otele gece yürümek çok tehlikeliydi. Sokak lambası yoktu ve vahşi köpek sürüleri dolaşıyordu. Yalnız seyahat edenler, yerel halk tarafından kolayca soyulabilir veya köpekler tarafından saldırıya uğrayabilirdi. Genel olarak, oda temelde temizdi ancak buzdolabı yoktu, duş kötüydü ve oda güvenliği yetersizdi. Müşteri hizmetleri berbattı ve personel isteksizdi. Ayrıca, sabahın erken saatlerinde, sabah 4:00'te bitişikteki camiden gelen ezan sesleri beni uyandırıyordu. Travel Republic bu fiyaskodan sorumludur. Bu otele 1/10 puan verirdim.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the video! I will go with my three teenage boys. and I heard something about going to islands, fishing, seeing lions in natural reserves etc. It looks like you mostly chilled there or was there anything else that caught your eye?
Hi! Thanks for your comment, we didn’t really do too much outside of the hotel on this trip to be honest, but if you walk south along the beach you’ll get to Ponto, which looked pretty interesting. There’s a lot of people looking to try and make a few quid from you, so be prepared for a lot of chats!
Hi arrr.thank u showing u both lovley smiley couple just looking at your vblogs as be there by wkenk 😊
Hi Karen, thanks for your comments, we love making these videos (well, I love making them, Mrs C puts up with me 😁)
Hi lovley vblog we coming to oludenze this sunday first visit.your brave doing the deep.sea diveing .looking foward to views 😊
Hope you’re having a great time, it’s a beautiful place!
Just Booked this place for July. Did you pay the extra for sea view before you went there or after you arrived?
We didn’t actually pay any extra in the end, we just asked at reception and they had a room that they could move us to so they did. They were very nice and we had a good time there, hope you do too!
What time of the year was this please
Hi David, this was April.
Thank you for that, been a few times in June, was looking at 23 April this year, but was not sure about the weather
Will go to Belcekis beach hotel again
Lovely video, what is a column, is it a small bus?
Hi! Glad you liked the video, not sure if it was an autocorrect from you, or me mumbling again, but think you are asking about the dolmuş? They are the small minibuses that run locally.
Been back in the UK for 8 weeks after being in Ovacik for almost 4 years. Ended up on youtube to look at home. Back soon hopefully
I guess you have itchy feet to get back there after all this rain!
Great video. We are looking to go end of march . You video has been of great help 👌
Hi John, thanks for the comment, I’m glad you liked the video. Enjoy your trip!
Great content love Cape verdi
Thank you! I’m glad you liked the video, we enjoyed Cape Verde too
Tvc😂❤
👍❤️
hate scarborough they are properly minging girls and town is proper shuthole ony good part is the fruit machines. shite beach
why the fish eye lense? its flat
Hi Barry, thanks for your comment! I film these using a GoPro and sometimes I leave it set to wide view as I”m quite often shooting from the hip when filming and this gives me a chance of getting the intended subject in frame!
Going to turkey 11th of April next year till 18 what the Temps there been told mid 20s to high 20s this correct thanks
P r o m o S M
?
Fab video guys 😁
Glad you enjoyed it, we had the best time on this trip!
Great scenery, great video, genuine people. The Scottish landscape is exceptional, especially off the beaten track. Did a day trip around Loch Lomond when I was studying at Glasgow Uni in the early 80s. Never forget those memories. No GoPros or Digital cameras back then, just a few grainy photos have survived. Watching you guys enjoying yourselves is wonderful.
Thank you, I’m glad you liked the video! We had a brilliant time on this trip, hoping to go back again before too long, there’s so much we didn’t get chance to see.
enjoyed, very professional job.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! It was a great trip, more parts to come…
Hiya. Booked Turkey for 29th March for 10 nights. Worried it won't be warm enough ? Is it swimming/beach weather?
Hi, end of March might be a bit patchy, but you hopefully should get a few nice days. Beach might be a bit cool at that time of year for sunbathing, but reasonably warm I would guess
Hi Andrew, thank you for the upload. We're considering this location for a week at the end of September. Would you know if there's busses into Malaga and other nearby towns and also is there any decent supermarkets as were looking to rent an apartment so will be self-catering Thanks, Jen
Hi Jen, glad you liked the video, there are definitely buses to Malaga from Torrox, although we had a hire car so didn’t use them and couldn’t say how frequent they are. If you’re staying in Torrox pueblo there are a lot of small independent shops that will cover what you need, but if you are down on the Costa then there is a Lidl, Aldi and Mercadona. If you find yourself in mercadona (and you like red wine) I thoroughly recommend ‘The Guvnor’. The bottle looks terrible, but the wine is superb!
No umbrellas on the beach 🏖️ 😢
There were some further back amongst the trees as I recall.
Hi andrew! I dont suppose you could recommend a way of using my phone without paying a small fortune? X
Hi Laura, if phone supports virtual SIMs then I thoroughly recommend ai the Airalo app. You can download it before you go, buy whatever data you need pretty cheaply and then activate when you get in country.
Andrew where about is the villa
Hi Philip, our Villa is in Ovacik
Hi guys just subscribed to your videos was in olu deniz last year loved it. Is there any hotels you could recommend in Ovacik?
Hi Williem, we’re don’t tend to stay in the hotels in Ovacik, so couldn’t really give an option on whether any of them are good or not. Good luck though!
Andy, where is the Pomegranate Restaurant in Ovacik?....thanks...Neil
Hi Neil, it’s down the hill a little in the valley if you search on narli bahçe you’ll find it on Google. Cannot recommend it enough!
Lovely video.. thank you for sharing It's nice to have holiday 😊
You’re welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
Oh hi, yes it was a typo error, thanks so much for the reply, love the videos, you always give so much information.

@@andyc882 Not moaning,I find it funny 😆
hi, is it a good place for an October half term holiday, instead of canaries ?
It’s great in October, good weather and everything still open. We’ve been there many times 👍
Is it easy to get around ovacik?
Hi Laura, if you’re reasonably fit you’ll be fine - Ovacik is a bit hilly in places but nothing too strenuous and you can walk to most of it without issues. There are regular dolmus on the main roads too. Hope this helps!
@andyc882 thank you Andrew 😃 we are staying at celay hotel so unsure how hilly? Also taking my mum so hopefully not too much for her as she is getting older now x
going here in three weeks. Was originally meant to stay in Vik San Antonio Hotel but we changed to this after a few days of deliberation.
You’ll love it there! I definitely recommend playa chica as a beach. If you can take a mask and snorkel it’s definitely worthwhile!
Sénégal is a Nice country really.good video
Thanks, glad you liked it! Senegal is beautiful.
Haha, great video, especially the portrayal of the dull UK weather and montonimos rat race 😅 Its been 11 years since our last visit, but happy to say, weve booked a trip to the Gokcen hotel for the end of Aug 2023, yay! ☀️🌞😎
Hope you have a great time there! The UK weather certainly hasn’t improved much 🤣
Enjoyed that mate. Thanks.
No problem, glad you enjoyed it 😁
Thanks for the vid, how would you say it compares to say Riu Palace in Cape Verde? Same standard or less?
Hi Stevie, glad you liked it. I think overall the baobab was marginally better (better beach area, free canoe/sup/pedalos and more for kids if that’s important to you) but they’re both pretty close.
Hi Andrew. I am staying at the celay hotel in July and I wondered as you have a property in that area if you know it and have any recommendations of places to go with a 6 year old? Thank you 😊
Hi Laura, I don’t know that hotel but I don’t think it’s far from Orka world water park, which I think a 6 year old would love! If you are looking to go to the beach it is worth heading down to olu deniz and turn right where the dolmus drops you off to head to the blue lagoon ( it’s a lot more small child friendly than the main beach, s as the water is much shallower). I’m sure you’ll have a great time there as everybody makes a big fuss off the kids (especially the little ones)
@Andrew Chandler thank you Andrew I really hope she will love it 😀 ❤️ we have never been I'm just hoping that it's a nice first experience in turkey 🇹🇷 😀
Amazing video fella, helped us out alot 👍🏼
Hi Thomas, glad you liked the video and that it helped!
Hi Andrew , what was the Mosquito's like as i am going there in 2 weeks
Hi Pete, when we were there the mosquitoes were not a problem at all. Not sure if it was time of year (we were there early January), so couldn’t say what it would be like now… Hope you enjoy your trip!
@@andyc882 Ok thanks
Hi Andrew great video hoping to visit this yr in Dec. Just wonder which airline you took etc .??
Any issues with pests spiders as I wont be ablr to sleep if so but hey could always bring own supply of fly spray etc!
Hi Lisa, we flew with Tui, it was all pretty good. We were there in January and had no problem at all with insects at all so fingers crossed you’ll be ok!
Hisaronu market is amazing they'll try and sell snow to an Eskimo im here in July can't wait
Hope you have a great time, the market in Hisaronu is definitely an experience!
@Andrew Chandler yeah to try and get us to buy they told us they'll sell it cheaper than the shoplifters in England 😅
Love your down to earth videos of oludeniz, hisaronu and ovacik. ❤️ What villa do you stay in and who did you dive with? Thank you 😊
Hi Kath, glad you enjoy the videos! We're lucky enough to own the villa and we get out there as often as possible. I dive with European Dive Centre, based down in Fethiye. They're very professional and I've never had any issues with them (I took my PADI certification with them). Hopefully another video coming up soon!
@@andyc882 thank you for you reply. Its brilliant you own your own villa. Something I want to do in the future. I am certified through bsac (advanced Ocean Diver) but wanted to use a professional company when I visit oludeniz again. No plans this year yet 😔 but me and my family have been a couple of times and we all, even my children, paraglided last June. (Used deep blue who were so professional and offer insurance with their price). It was amazing and out of this world. It's good to know others that love oludeniz, ovacik and hisaronu as much as we do. Looking forward to the next video. Take care and enjoy. ☀️⛱️🌊
@@andyc882Hey , I am due to travel to Ovacik Dalaman for 4 days just to get away from the UK for a bit from 3rd October would be nice for suggestions I am staying at a place called Monta Verde Hotel & Villas trying to find things to do
Great video! I am planning to go to Oludeniz and Fethiye in the last week of April. Is it a good time weatherwise?
Hi William, glad you liked the video! End April is a lovely time to go, it’s usually a little quieter and the weather is pretty good usually. There’s a chance you’ll get the odd day of bad weather but usually it’s pretty nice.
hi thanks for a great video going there later in the year what currency did you take and what is accepted there
Hi Stephen, glad you liked the video! We didn’t take any currency, but if you want some cash it’s as well to use the atm at the airport as when we were there the hotel didn’t have an exchange. Hope you have a great holiday 👍
Scarborough, England, uk
Yes it is
Thanks for the sharing. What about garbage? I've been told there is garbage in the beach and in the sea...
Hi Paulo, the beach along the frontage of the hotel is kept very clean (and that is quite a large area), however once you are past the ends of the hotel there is a lot of plastic waste on the beach up past the high tide mark. It’s quite sobering when you see the amount and is a real shame given the beauty of the beach.
Hey mate great video. How was the club? How far along beach can you walk? Do the staff speak English. How was the airport experience
Thanks Jordan, glad you liked it! You can walk easily for a good few miles in either direction of the hotel along the beach and once you get a few meters past the ends of the hotel you’ll have the place to yourself pretty much. All the staff are super friendly and pretty well all speak good English. Airport was pretty good too. Definitely a good experience there!
Enjoyed the video pal can you tell me what it is like in ovakic and is it quiet or lively at night?.. We are looking at holidays to Turkey and can't decide!
Glad you liked the video! Ovacik is pretty relaxed, a few bars and restaurants within easy walks but nothing too wild! If you’re looking for a more lively night out then Hisaronu has all the bars you could want. It’s a 20 minute walk down the hill (or 5 minutes on the dolmus). Hope you have a great holiday!
