    can only tell you we enjoyed marmaris very much, you either love it or hate it!!!
    plenty of shopping markets day trips pubs and clubs if you want them
    plenty of quiet areas if that is what you like
    lots of families around and 2 good waterparks, you shouldnt get bored,we go self catering in a apartment so we eat out every night and never stuck for choice,

  • We went to Sarigerme last August it was the poshest hotel I have ever stayed in! The holiday village is lovely, however if you don't hire a car there is not much else to do - Sarigerme village can be reached by Dolmus but it's a tiny village with about 10 shops and about 4 cafes!

    Yes holiday village we stayed on the orange side it was busy with people no where was shut it was just like any other holiday time. We went on 15 October if i remember we went as a couple and even though this place is set up for families we had a lovely time couldnt fault anything. Well worth the money glorious weather every day plenty to eat and drink, no much to do out of holiday complex unless you want to go on trips we went into the local town for the market which was a bit under the arm but ideal if you want to pick up good fakes. The beach was ok nice to walk along but to be honest nearly everyone sat around the pool where you could either sit or lay near the poolside a bit further out away from the water slides or you could sit or sleep under the trees in the shade. No shortage of loungers at all, free pool towels and I had a lovely turkish bath and massage at the hotel on the 2nd day cost around £50 for two hours of luxury and it certainly made a difference to my tan it lasted alot longer than previous holidays.

    Hi We went to the holiday village last October it was the last week they were open. We went to chill out and so we were not bothered that we were in the middle of no-where.

    We took 2x 15 years olds 13 and 8 year old and they all enjoyed themselves

    The only thing missing was a touch of real turkey, dancing and that sort of thing int he evenings

    The hotel was excellent the food choice was brilliant so much to choose from

    The weather was not really hpt 24/25

    If you catch the mini bus to Dolmus you can book tours and massages etc for 1/2 the price you get charged inthe hotel and they pick you up at the corner where the mini buses stop.

    We went on the 11 island cruise which we got for a really good price, we got the cheapest price on the boat. Word of warning do not have a pancake on the island stop as it costs a fortune, just go for a walk when they try to herd you to the pancakes

    We would go back again
