Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Hi' I have spent the last two holidays in Hisaronu and I was wondering as I am going to Icmeler this year if anyone can give me a comparison between the two. Is Icmeler bigger, does it have more bars,restaurants etc. I have been following this forum for sometime now and Icmeler certainly seems to have its devotees! Thanks in advance.

hi think icmeler lot bigger more places to eat lovely beach front have been to both places but icmeler is like my home we love it been going there for 11 years i hope you enjoy as much im back there in july cannot wait

Hi - went to Hisonaru once. Icmeler lost count. No comparison. Will be there 2 weeks today and again in Sept. Me thinks once you have been to Icmeler you will never want to go to Hisonaru again! xx

Hi Sylvia - 13 days means you get there day before us. Where you staying - we will be at Gondol. Have a great holiday x

HI again CassieLucy we are staying at the uysal apartment,s hope the sun shines for us all when we arrive.

Hi
I agree with everyone else, I've been to Hisaronu and found it a bit hilly load of steps, maybe that's just where we stayed. I also find in Icmeler the people are a lot friendlier and the food is better, my opinion only. as people have said once you've been to Icmeler you won't go anywhere else in Turkey. hope you have a great time.

Yeah hope so - was watching JTs video earlier of storms this morning! Just hoping it will be good weather like we had last June!

You'll probably find Icmeler a little bit cheaper than Hisaronu and a lot more set meal offers.

Hi
I go to both Icmeler and Hisaronu (Ovacik area) every year and love both places.
Unlike Hisaronu where most bars and restaurants are on one main street (few exceptions of course), you will find Icmeler which is mostly flat has the beach prom and many side streets which go well back in the resort. Also the walk from Icmeler to Marmaris along the beach front (no traffic) which takes about one hour is very pleasant and great if you like walking.

Enjoy

Sorry. No comparison.
Just returned from the area, nice, but not a match on Icmeler.

Hi, went to Hisaronu 4 years ago ,enjoyed the holiday ,but whilst there it was mentioned a few times by ourselves and the friends we holiday with 'Wish we'd gone to Icmeler!' i'm sure you will love it ,and find that you want to go back time after time, have a great holiday !

Thanks for the replies looking forward to my first Icmeler visit landing early on the 30th July. should be warm!

I visited Hisaronu (Ovacik) for the first time last year and really enjoyed it wished we'd stayed for the 2 weeks instead of 1, and thinking of going back next year after our visit to Icmeler in September.

Enjoy your holiday to Icmeler

Hi pedro26.I look forward to your comparisons when you come back from Icmeler. .

Just booked for next year in Ovacik again. Will miss icmeler but they are totally different types of resorts and both have there good and bad points.

Had a family holiday in Hisaronu in 2003, it was our second time in Turkey having gone the year befor to Icmeler.
As a family with teenage kids then our decision was unanimous. Hisaronu can't hold a candle to Icmeler. It was a bit too Blackpool for us and got ripped off a few times aswell.

That being said we enjoyed the holiday and had a good time, Olu Deniz was stunning. We have since been to Gumbet /Bodrum twice and Turgutreis. All were great in their different ways especially Bodrum with it's history BUT we are returning to Icmeler this year for a family holiday because when we all decided where to go for possibly the one last blast together as a family group we all wanted Icmeler.

That's people in their 70's, 40's and twenties. Must be something eh!!
