The weather xmas 06, datime sunny with a temp 22c taken from the board outside the gima at Marmaris, evening time sharp drop to 4c, a coat if walking out a must have. Along the front boats have been pulled onto the beach, workmen are making repairs, cleaning, and painting. The sands have been pulled back in heaps, and canals dug to aid the escape of forthcoming rain water, but this year was to be dry. Flowers still blooming throughout icmeler, and work has begun trimming palm tree. Many roads had been dug up, work had started on burying telephone cables.
Icmeler queit of holiday makers, has its same charm in the winter, and the warm welcome to have a tea with a local is not lost, as we all know on this forum, its a very special place.
I enjoyed myself walking icmeler to marmaris several times, domus back, these ran about every hour, maybe less. Boat out to sea from turunc ,tried my hand at a bit of fishing, the days catch later on bbq, eaten with friends a perfect day, and to finish a few raki to warm up.
Eating out during the day, there were several places open, with a few expats having a efes or 2. also a couple of places with evening entertainment.
For all those thinking of spending xmas in icmeler , you wont be disappointed, did i enjoy it? Well i am back there this xmas, roll on xmas.

terry it sounds like heaven we are trying to see if we can go this year it sounds fun we are going next summer but all the restarant staff are so busy it would be nice to go when its quiet and they have time to talk to you did you take any photos cant wait to go back

[terry]

Its probably worth remembering this is the rainy season, my warm days could have been wet and cold, not so nice to walk to marmaris, or going fishing, but still good to see friends, and maybe learn a little more turkish.

[LynnJenny]

sounds like you have a ball were are you staying this year what restarants do you go to we want to have a look around found some new apartments for sale we want to find them and its better in the winter to walk around and find them

A word of warning to anyone fishing.

Mustafa from the Tuncay apartments lost two of his nephews last winter when they were fishing.

They were fishing out of Turunc and it was a nice day but the wind did get up really bad as it does around 3pm sometimes and these two men were very competent fisherman and alas they drowned so if you do decide to do something like this on a winter stay then please be very careful

[terry]

Thankyou for your words of warning, this is a very sad story, my condolences to there families.

[LynnJenny]

how sad you have to be so carful i would just go for long walks my sister-in-law wants to come shes just come in with a new warm jacket she said shes ready for the nights thier lol

Mario's, in the Old Village, is open during the winter.
Terrible about the fishermen. We were over in October and one afternoon the wind blew up from nowhere.

[terry]

I am hoping the threebells and florida are open. I may go into marmaris xmas day, have been told the Pineapple on the Nestal marina is good.

Sorry dont have to many pics of my xmas there last year. have sent a couple to admin in the hope they will be posted, not mastered the art of adding photos to this site myself,
