Firstly, hi and welcome to the forum to one blondie from another! I am sure you will have a great holiday - I would be quite happy about travelling to
Icmeler on my own. Just make sure you take the same precautions with your personal safety that you would anywhere else and don't let your guard down just because you are on holiday.
The Verde is a very central
hotel (although I've not stayed there myself), so you won't have far to walk, and I'm sure you'll soon get to know some of the other guests, etc. As far as the excursions are concerned, pop into the Icmeler Online office and have a chat with the girls - they will be able to advise you which ones are best and suggest what might be most suitable for you.
Transfers - yes, I think if you are a solo traveller, the speedy shuttle would probably be the best option for you. I think the
ICR ones have a maximum of four stops, so shouldn't take too long!
Have a great time - and let us know how you get on!
