in lovely surroundings and at the foot of the mountains. stunning views and great pool. It's a good 40min (+?) walk to the centre but a lovely walk if your feet can take it. Dolmus and taxis available so no worries about getting back home at night. I'm sure you will thank you friends for persuading you to go to
icmeler it is stunning, friendly, much calmer than
marmaris (next resort) and you will be booking a return before you've even unpacked.
Enjoy.
