Hi Sophia,
I have visited Turgutries and Side and have spent two weeks in each resort.
I have also visited several other Turkish holiday resorts on day trips and I know that you dont get a true reflection of a place on a day trip but you can get the FEEL of an area.
So in my opinion there is only one place that has all that I and my family want from an holiday and that is Icmeler.
Each one of the places we Have visited has something special to offer its tourist be it ice cold rivers,mud baths,canyon walks,waterfalls, beaches,historical ruins,mountain backdrops and forested areas we still choose to come back to our adopted home because in the area of
Icmeler and surounding areas we have all these things.
my opinion only we all have our own ideas
