Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Well, I'm unlucky enough to have just seen a pic on an Icmeler page on facebook, of the new statues (and I use the word statues loosely)!! Awful, ugly and tacky things, that look like they should have a slot in the top to collect money for disabled children/guide dogs!! It's a shame, the square improvements last year were great and a real improvement. Now these things have been added, I'm afraid the word Blackpool comes to mind!! Horrible, horrible, horrible!

Anyone else seen them?

Had a look but can't find them, where about on Facebook?

Yes I've seen them and I agree. They look totally out of place.

I remember someone commenting on them earlier and liking them to something out of Disney land.

JT, picture time please.

I saw em on a fb group called Paul's Icmeler Lovers, run by a guy called Paul Kear. Tacky is the word. Cheap is another, so is nasty.

Thanks for the link mupton. Not impressed.

You will find photo's of the square here on Pauls facebook page

He is in Icmeler at the moment I think so go ask him and he will get photos for you

Hi JT

Apologies for the link I posted
It has been removed and a superb facebook link in its place.
Just thought I was helping with the enquiries

Mupton

Agree with most, the dolphin's aren't too bad but the others do look a bit tacky. Might seem better in the flesh (so to speak).

Either way, it won't ruin my holiday - Where we stay is nowhere near the square so probably won't see them that much anyway.

Hi Mupton

Yes it was removed by someone and no doubt to do with the wishes of the original poster as it seems that they were not meant for here

I think though you will find all you need on that facebook page and as it happens with unbiased comments and remarks as Paul praises all of Icmeler

How come everyone compares Blackpool with the word tacky? ?? its the people who visit Blackpool that make it seem tacky,the ones who come for stag and hen parties, get steaming and throw up everywhere and make complete fools of themselves, I've lived in Blackpool all my life and wouldnt live anywhere else.

Would love to have a peek at these new statues before we arrive in July, but dont do the Facebook thing.
Does anybody have any piccys they can post or have a direct link to some.
Thanks...

Sorry if these are a little big (if you get my drift lol)

Oh no, they are awful. I am sitting at work, and trying to stiffle a LOL what are they trying to portray? Oh well, splash of colour to the square hahahahahahaha

Not" my cup of tea" and a bit scary -if you ask me!
But it won't put me off from the square area.

My thoughts exactly Dalin. Won't put me off going there but I have a feeling they might freak me out after a few Efes!!!

It's something to do with Turkish folklore from what I've heard, these statues are meant to represent them or something like that

Wow, not what I was expecting lol!
Thanks for the piccys sunseeker...

The first two look as though they should be holding something,maybe a flute or other musical instrument more like the third picture.
