Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

At 3.24 this mornıng my daughter and İ were sittıng on our ground floor balcony, when suddenly the ground underneath us rumbled and shook. We both got such a shock we couldn,t believe we had felt an earthquake, but the staff on duty confirmed that it was. Apparently it was many mıles from here, my daughter checked onlıne. BOZBURUN ACIKLARI-MUGLA (AKDENIZ) İt woke my husband up but he didnt know what ıt was only that somethıng had woke him İt was excitıng but also a lıttle scary. Oh well wonder if its too soon to put out towels on the sunbeds

Hope everyone is ok.

Think you need an efes now for the shock, can you get me one too please

Don,t thınk anyone would have been hurt here, accordıng to the sıte Sarah looked at it was a 4.4 quake My 14 year old son is gutted he slept through it. Must be off İ'm doıng our earthquake survival plan pmsl.

We had the same in 2004.My wife woke me to say the pictures were shaking on the walls. .I thought yeah ok. .Next thing i started rocking in bed and the pictures started shaking again.It was a very strange experience but apparently happens quite alot in the summer months when its very hot.

Yep ıt woke me up!

at that time i would still be in a bar so would not have felt it

Yeah, there was one last July in Rhodes and it shook the apartments over in Icmeler.

I slept through it though. Damn Efes

Thankyou for confirming that Shaz20, I thought I'd had too many brandy and cokes that night as nobody else had felt it in our party.

The vodka at our apartments must be strong, because we were still at the bar that morning and Phill and I never felt a thing, we didnt even know anything about it until the following morning when we were told!

never felt it must of been in a very heavy sleep cause lots of people have spoken about it
xxxxx

Didn't wake me! Woke my wife though. she said she felt the bed shaking and got a bit worried.

Loads of people were talking about it around the pool the next day . I heard it was 25 miles away. Which is pretty close for an earthquake.

Thanks both, but I am more than happy to announce the earth didnt move

yeah i got told about it but i was asleep after a good night in the three bells so we never heard it but everyone was talking about it

I was asleep when the quake struck due to the copious amounts of efes Joe cider I had consumed lol when I woke in the morning I did wonder why our suit cases had fell off the top of the wardrobe lol anyway back this Friday so still time for another

We also experienced the quake whilst in Icmeler last week. It woke us from sleep to the sound of the mirror shaking on the wall. There was apparently a smaller one at one o'clock and another smaller one at five o'clock (probably a light after-shock) When we told our Turkish friends during the morning, the comment we got was "Oh yes its the first we've had this season, nothing to worry about". They just took it in their stride and did not think anything of it. Cool dudes!!!!!!
