  • Its a scam, most likely a time share thing.

    Avoid like the plague.

    If you end up going you can be sure to end up getting shafted both physically by some lady boy Turk and through your bank balance.

    Age old "If it seems to good to be true - It probably is"........ Just like my ex wife.

    I disagree, this will probably be the sort of thing which would encourage many new users to sign up and post. Whilst there is bound to be exceptions, you have to give the benefit of the doubt.

    I don't have to give anything the benefit of the doubt...I'm just giving an opinion, and I don't like the look of it. :rolleyes:

    Just type it into search on this site, that should give you plenty of info.
    But be wary of such offers.

    As far as I can tell this isn't actually a scam as such - they make their money by putting you in 'remote' hotels and charging you for meals and excursions. Time share doesn't come into it.

    Having said that their coaches/drivers/hotels are not necessarily top quality (nor their admin that efficient) so you don't necessarily get overall value for money.

    I'd still be wary of it though.
