Too good to be true...worth a go anyway?

Hiya,
Got an email this morning from a "free stuff" website with a link the the website below. It's advertising a "free" holiday to Turkey.
I'm not silly enough to just take this at face value and I assumed it would be a time share jobbie however when looking at the terms and conditions it specifically says there are no presentations etc to attend.
What it does describe is that 'some supplements' are not included, the main one being a half board supplement which they justify by saying there is little in alternative dining near the hotels without a car.
My question is...obviously they will try and flog you every additonal extra under the sun but if you ignore all of this and stick to your guns, could you end up with a free holiday?
I can't imagine taxi's would be that expensive to go and get meals elsewhere and the other supplements seem 'get-aroundable' too.
Just wondered if anyone has tried this offer before or has any thoughts. The forum won't let me add the link as a new user but the website is turkey.2minutesurvery.com
Many thanks, Laura Milner

its a company called European Vacations, try the search box, been plenty of threads on these "free" offers, or if you google reviews on them.
A few people had had a good deal, but most say they are stung for extra charges/supplements/meal packages etc, as the places they stay are a bit out of the way0 -
It's also on pigsback.. http://www.pigsback.com/classic/apps/affiliates/affiliate_link_clickref.asp?id=811 does seem too good.0
