Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Hi all,

Found this forum thorugh the powers of google.
Me and my friend are jetting off from Manchester first thing in the morning on a late deal we found to Icmeler staying at the Daphne. Has anyone stayed here and what is it like etc?

From reading peoples views on her im really excited. Anything we need to watch out for or good places to eat drink.

And if anyone knows how much it usually costs to get into Marmaris that would be good.

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,
Firstly welcome to the forum. We were there in June we being me and the other half and we were going through £60 to £70 per day on average but that's not taking into account for trips etc etc, but that was eating out twice a day and drinks, day to day running costs. The only word of warning is the airport is very expensive, and also the rest stop's on your transfer if you get one as not all do.
Eating out is a joy and you should never get a bad meal anywere as there is so much compation for you custom. We have been going for years now and the worst meal we had was just average if you know what i mean.
Getting to Marmaris is a piece of cake, you can walk it in about an hour, depending on how many bars you venture into, you can get the dolmus and if its your first time to Turkey i would give it a go or the water taxi's are another alternative, not sure of the cost of the later two though but not megger expensive.
Hope this help's let me know if there's anything else i can help with because if i can't someone will be along soon to help,

We ate quite a bit at Noels and I can reccomend the steak...lovely....also went to the red lion for brekkie which was fab....going back in Sept and someone said to try the Florida for brekkie as its only a pound!!! Have to agree with other poster we never had a bad meal our whole stay...enjoy

Thanks Guys,

Its made me want it to be 11am tomorrow now even more.We fly from Manchester.Just joined up on the facebook bit as well and the pictures on there of peoples holidays look really nice.
Dont mind walking and 1hr is not too much.Think we will give the dolmus a go.
The Red Lion sounds good as i need a good breakfast on a morning
If i think of anything else before we go i will pop it up here.
We are 2 Leeds lads that have not seen the sun for well over a year so will be whiter than white when we arrive!! lol..

If anyone is about over there at the same time your welcome to join us for my birthday drinks.

Thanks

Dan

You can get the dolmus (little orange minibus) into Marmaris it take about 15-20 mins and costs you 2 lira, which is about 80p. The last bus to marmaris from icmeler is 1am, and the last bus from marmaris back is 1.30am. They are so easy to use I only wish public transport was so simple in this country.

Hi, me and my lot are off on monday so might see you there Just a tip if you didnt know already. make sure you each have a tenner for when you get to Dalaman airport, for your visa. Have a great time!!

Thanks Steve and Thanks Annie.
Yeah already got the heads up on the £10.00 for the airport.
Yep might see you about.Will prob be on my way to a new tan by then!!

Dan

No probs. Wish I was going.

Steve

If you're flying from Leeds Bradford will you let me know what the airport is like please, have looked on the web and it looks fine but can't find anyone else's reviews on it. Have a good holiday, i am about 6 miles from Leeds and you so need the sun

Sorry Dan just read you are flying from Manchester

wayyy more leeds lads
well i live down the road from the airport so its the only place i fly from
its alright actually to say for its size
also id buy any food you want from the greggs before u go into departures as its the normal prices u find on the high street
theres a pub in departures that also serves pretty decent grub and a burger king

Thanks Dom will be there 18th August and need food before we fly because we are going with Onur air (no food on plane), think Greggs will do the trick

Hope you have a great holiday, wish I was going now, but got to be patient..... (although I did go in May )

By the way, if I remember rightly the water taxi from Marmaris is about 7.5TL, and a great way to travel.

Modaboy,
Just sent you a private message about Daphne Apartments.
