What are your top 3 tips

[noodles1609]

A friend of mine and her family are visiting Turkey for the first time this September, they were booked in Marmaris but had it cancelled so I'm pursuading her to book Icmeler (I've given her details of ICR!). So she can make the best of her time, she's asked me to put together a guide for her, which I'm in the process of doing - from arriving at the airport to best places to change money, eat, drink, trips etc. As many experienced heads are so much better than one, I could do with your assistance - what would be your top 3 tips to pass on to a first timer?

Get a safe on arrival at the apartments.
Always check your bills in Restaurants.
Treat others like you would like to be treated.

Apart from those already mentioned, I'd add:

Learn a few words of Turkish - even just to say hello, please and thank you

Don't be afraid to try local dishes - Turkish food is lovely!

Don't be afraid to haggle - but be realistic about the price you're prepared to pay.

Agree with what has already been said

Tell them to try the wheel at the side of the toilet

Take some old cloths for the jeep safari

Relax, unwind and fall in love with Icmeler like the rest of us.

Whatever you do I am sure you will enjoy. Icmeler is a heaven you can make your own, either do nothing but relax by your pool or wonder round the place making friends wherever you go,there are always great people only too happy to enjoy life with you.When you get there I am sure it will all fall into place and the holiday will be over before you know it has started so just relax and enjoy.

1. Try to relax and forget about time,, its ISH time in Turkey
2. The people really are genuine and want you to have a great time, so go with the flow
3. Try out as many bars and resturants as possible, there are plenty to choose from and they too need you to spend a little bit of money in there establishments.

I agree with all the tips that have already been posted. However, these are also a must;

1. Shop (Ladies especially take note)
2. Drink plenty of non alcoholic drinks during the day.
3. Drink plenty of Efes at night.
