Olu Deniz, Turkey

Sue and I returned yesterday from a week's break in Olu Deniz, Turkey. We'd never visited Turkey before and we were very pleasantly surprised. We had a relaxing week, soaking up the sun, and as we were all inclusive we didn't go short in the food and drinks department either. In our week we experienced a Turkish bath & massage with facial, the Blue Lagoon day trip, a 6 island cruise, "Bargains & Bays" excursion (morning in the weekly market in Fetyhe and afternoon cruise)

The the coach return trip on the Tuesday's "Bargains & Bays" excursion stopped at a gold/jewellery outlet where Sue had her rings cleaned (for free) and I bought her a ring with her birth stone set on 14 carat gold. The highlight of our stay was Suzie doing a tandem paragliding flight on Saturday morning before we returned home that afternoon. She started from the top of a local mountain at 6,500 feet above sea level and landed on the beach.

Additional activities included lots of walking, lounging round the pool, general socialising the ubiquitous shopping for bargains. As a holiday destination we found Turkey to be very agreeable and it exceeded our expectations.
