the weather can be very rainy as january and february are their rainy months
there will be some people there especially those that have villas or apartments in the old village
there wont be many places open in icmeler but there will be slightly more in marmaris
a lot of people like going to icmeler out of season as they say its really peaceful personally i have never been out of season so i cant give my own personal opinion sorry
hope this helps
xxxxx

If it's any help I spent the first week in January in Icmeler and Marmaris (there for New Year) a couple of years ago. Icmeler centre was like a ghost town and it's really bizarre to see it like that when you're used to it so busy in the summer months, though there were a few places open in the village.
Marmaris was busy with plenty open as many people live there all year round and although I don't really like Marmaris in the high season I have to say it's a very nice place to be in the winter.
I remember we had a couple days of rain (the sort of rain you really couldn't go out in) but the rest of the time it was sunny and warm - well like it is here when we get a nice warm spring, certainly a lightweight jacket was adequte, I remember we even ate breakfast outside on Mamaris Marina one morning in the sunshine.
Think there are more places that stay open during the winter now in Icmeler as more and more people have bought homes out there and of course there are more direct flights to Dalaman from the UK - certainly Ozzy's is open and he was saying he gets quite busy, they do quiz nights, karaoke nights, bingo that sort of thing.
You should go for it!
