I'm sure you will have a great time. Is there anything in particular you want to know, or are a bit unsure about? There are many great places to eat and drink around Icmeler, and don't forget to haggle if you're buying anything. Any queries you may have, there is always someone here on the forum who will come up with the answer for you sooner or later.

Hi tracey66,
Welcome to the forum.
If you just keep reading all the posts, i`m sure you will pick things up. Also take a look at http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8& ... 8e86a260a2 it will give you an idea of the location of places that people are talking about, it may also have the location of your apart/hotel. Enjoy
Steve

Tracey, they expect you to haggle, honestly! It's all part of the fun - decide roughly what you'd be prepared to pay for something and start off with a low offer. Eventually you should meet somewhere in the middle, but if you're still not hapy, walk away - more often than not they'll come after you and offer you a better price!

[tracey66]

Hi Tracey

The guide we use for haggling is whatever price is given, offer half, then we usually agree on three quarters of the price they gave at the beginning. If they agree at less than three quarters all the better. Sometimes the price won't be lowered so we then get something extra thrown at no extra cost.
