We have been back a week now, and really fed up with the weather here.
Flight from Glasgow with Thomas Cook was on time, no problems on flight, arrive at Dalaman and bought fags in duty free much cheaper than at Glasgow. Found transfer man and set off for Icmeler, arrived at Efes Inn and booked in, had a really great room on the top floor. After a few wines went to bed, woke up and went out on the balcony at 3am to watch the storm over the mountains, great sight to watch. When we woke in the morning it was dull but very warm, had breakfast and then went for a walk around Icmeler, always nice to do this on the first day to see what changes have been made. Well as you probably know, Harry's corner has changed completely, now gold shops and new apartments there, Harry's Bar still there but round the corner from where it was, also a lot of new buildings have gone up since our last visit in September last year, wish the buildimg trade was as fast in UK, the prom is now looking great, the new paving is a joy the push a wheelchair along, prices have gone up, but not that much compared to the world rise in prices.
Had meals in the hotel a few times, found them very good and cheaper than outside, also found that the bars and restaurants were very quiet, there were a few busy ones so we went to these, the Dream 3 bells was good, Dreamboys on the canal, Majestic and Harry's, also went to the old village and had a meal at Temel Kofte, nice meatballs here.
Last year we stayed at the Bellevue, read on internet that it had new owners so went to see what it was like, now called The Eda hotel.The whole hotel has been refurbished and is a joy the see as last year it was a dump. I would suggest that anyone who has stayed here in the past should go and have a look, you will be pleasantly suprised. Had some meals there and they were fine, Christine, who had the Gordie Bar, now runs the bar and restaurant here, so pop in and see her. The people running this hotel are very nice, dad Ali, mum Hacer and sons Engin and Ersin will make you very welcome, and Christine is a lovely lady.
We had a great 2 weeks in heaven, now for the bad parts, return flight delayed for over 4 hours, Dalaman airport is now more expensive than it ever was, make sure you have water and food for your wait here, don't even think about buying anything here, you will need a bank loan.
Flight back was OK, but slept most of it, arrived at Glasgow and was stuck on the plane for over an hour waiting for chair list to arrive, got to know the new crew who boarded long before we got off, chairlift arrived only to damage the cabin door, so stuck again on this for a long time while they sorted this out, when we got to the terminal we were the last passengers to get our luggage.
Still it was worth all this hassle, we did enjoy our stay in Icmeler, and we still haven't been outside Icmeler yet, and we have been 6 times.
Now trying to get Margo to agree to go in September,at present she is saying never agian,
but she says this every time we come back, so still hope for a return to Paradise.
