things that make you smile about icmeler!!

Postby mugla » 05 Apr 2010 13:54

apart from the obvious..like your always made to feel special whether its your first or twenty first visit..how your remembered with genuine affection...and how nothing is too much trouble..the other things that give you that good feel factor and lets you know your home
how every thing in the market is 3 for a tenner
the apple pie man who used to stand at the end of the canal
franco(ya ya) climbing the tree outside dreamboys with yet another tray of drinks with sparklers in them
the guy who came around the restaurants selling roses
the owner of the three bells showing the kids tricks with wooden boxes
the smelly camel
just a few things that help me get from one visit to the next..thank god for the web cam

The first thing which springs to me for me is that first glimpse of the bay you get as you come down the hill from Marmaris - it never fails to make me smile and make my heart beat a little bit faster when I get my first glimpse of Icmeler!

Sitting on hotel balcony early morning,looking across the bay towards Marmaris, amazed at how still the sea is that time of the morning, then looking left to see the sun creeping up over the mountains.

When the transfer drops you off at your hotel / apartments, and you know the first of many efes is minutes away. :D

Other than the first glimps of Icmeler as you come down the hill, booking into the hotel at 6.00am, and then walking down to the jetty and sitting there with my hubby waiting for the sun to come up between the mountains. Sheer heaven :D :D

Our name on the transfer drivers board at Dalaman.

The approach to the last bend before Marmais comes into view, our excitement peaks, once around the bend and we can finally see Marmaris and the bay, we know we will soon be in Icmeler.

The welcome from the apartment staff as we have been going there for many years, the first large ice cold Efes, the fact we have arrived and know we will have a fantastic holiday again.

i agree; definitely getting showered and ready for your first night out. stepping out onto the street and hearing all the hustle and bustle and smelling all the lovely smells wafting about! sitting down and eating your first meal in your favourite bar with a nice cold efes :D

Quite simply I don't stop smiling from the moment I land to the moment I leave resort to go home.....

As well as ALL the above two things thing that always make me smile are listening to the sunshine, ice cream, bling bling, I am here, whoooo hoooo on the beach :lol:

And going from one extreme to the other walking around the back roads late afternoon, all peaceful and calm, pavements dappled in shade, a whisper of a breeze and hearing the call to prayer.... lovely

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I've heard that Ali, the camel, has died.

Bill has got it spot on. Cases on the bed, me getting out of the shower, "see you in a minute love, I'll just be at the bar. I'll get them in" Then getting greeted by he hotel barman is if you were his best man & long lost brother rolled into one. Trying my best to order in Turkish and having a good laugh with the barman.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
