That's good. It's gettin there at least hopefully it'll be back to last years rate when I go in june. Got 2.56 last year.

Welcome back Barry - esp as you're now officially the first reviewer of the year I think (never mind Gene ha ha)

Didn't notice any prattling at all - in fact can't believe it was so short
Nice to notice there was no mention of those dodgy US takeaway joints that we really hope aren't going to spring up in our little piece of heaven

When are you going to really start the prattling and keep us going until the next returnee posts - pleeeeeeeese cos I'm not going until August

Fanny
Its the firs review i have ever done, but not bad for a start was it,
As for the dodgy us take aways i did not see any at all

Fantastic to read the first review of the year. Thank you very much. I spent my first holiday to Icmeler last August and fell in love with it and am so looking forward to returning in August this year. It seems a bit closer now. Once again - taverymuch

Thanks for the review Barry.
It sounds as though the temps during the day are ok.
Were did you get to in the evenings?
Were there many places open?
Could you sunbathe?
Are the local supermarkets open?
We all have so many question and hope you can answere them.
Disapointed that I havent got my McDonalds
Thanks again Barry for the review.

i did take some vidio of new marina will up load later

Hi Gene
Yes some of the local small supermarkets are open all winter, the Tansas is now open in the winter, never used to be. Banks are open as well.
We spent some evenings with Vince and his lovely family he is the owner of Vinces Bar you may know him, Turkish restaurants are open, had some good Turkish meals in them, spent some evenings at home sat by our log fire, nice and cosy.
More places are now open, gets busier every year. The heat and Breeze is closed down and is up for rent. As for sunbathing bit cold sometimes but sunshine can be be nice. all in all the weather was a lot nicer than england,one day we painted our railings on balcony, that day was very warm.

Hi Barry, It was really good to read your report. It seems like you had some nice weather, i am going over for a holiday on 29th March (3 weeks today ) and i have no idea on what kind of clothes to take with me as ive never been this early before, could you give me a little idea of what you think i may need, will it be ok for shorts in daytime?

Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi scousebabe, me and my daughter go to icmeler on the 28th March and I was wondering exactly the same thing. Never been this early before. Great to read the review though has given us some idea of whats going on out there. Cnt wait now

I would take some shorts and also winter clothes, some of each, march and april can be wet or hot who knows

Thank you Barry, i will play safe and take both just incase.

Sue, hope you and your daughter have a good time, it will be nice to see the place before everywhere starts to open.
