Turkey Holidays

When you are considering a trip abroad to visit a place that you would have normally only dreamed of, consider a trip to the resort of Icmeler, Turkey. Here the Aegean Sea meets the Mediterranean. Situated here is a beach resort that is well known for its luxury yachts that bob in and out of the bay while many of the crowds are sipping on cocktails in the numerous sea front bars. 

Looking around the beach resort of Icmeler, you will see steep hills that are filled with pine forests that lead down the mountain side to the turquoise waters. There are numerous other beach resorts however none of them are as relaxed as Icmeler is. Not to far to the south is the beach resort of Marmaris. The resort of Icmeler is kept clean and is very well maintained with its sandy beaches to the town. The town has a number of well groomed gardens which help to lighten the look of all the hotels that line the streets as well as the different blocks of apartments. 

When you want to shop, Icmeler has a good size shopping mall which is good for collecting the essentials that you need while on holiday as well as a area that is good for the purchase of souvenirs from your trip. The local market which is on Wednesdays is where you will find a large group of bargain hunters and hagglers who are looking to get a even better bargain than what they already have. If you are looking to do some serious shopping while visiting Icmeler, you might be better off taking a short trip into Marmaris where you have a large selection of shops to choose from which allows you to virtually shop until you drop. This is especially true for the covered bazaar in the old town. 

When looking for different types of food and restaurants to enjoy while on holiday, you may be interested in some of the local specialties such as Guvec or kebabs. You will not want to forget the Turkish wine or raki while sitting down to enjoy your meal. While sitting to enjoy your meal, you will hear the traditional music of Turkey in the background. If you are looking to enjoy a good steak then you will want to check out the Love Boat which is located in the Devamli Hotel. If you are looking for a little bit of this with a little bit of that, you will want to check out the Majestic Restaurant which will give you a wide selection of Chinese, Indian and also Italian. If you are in the vicinity on a Sunday, then you will want to check out the Kingsland Chinese Restaurant which is well known for its top British lunch that it hosts each Sunday.
