We went to Icmeler September last year - all inclusive.

We had a fantastic time we only had 6 nights there and wish we had done a bit longer.

Icmeler is a short bus ride away from Marmaris - we did a day out there cost 3 Turkish lira ( the exchange rate at the time made it about 90p) each way - We did not particularly enjoy Marmaris - too busy - like Blackpool.

Icmeler is popular and had lots of hotels and eateries - a small bay - boat taxi's which can take you to Marmaris.

Lots of things to do - excursions are great - we did a lazy day, you board a boat and get taken around different bays where you can jump off the back of the boat and go for a swim - they feed you and it worked out £12 all inclusive of drinks for a whole day out.

I would love to go back would spend more time chilling by the pool as I did not feel that I took advantage of the all inclusive that we paid for.

If you are going to spend lots of time drinking out - don't go all inclusive - you end up paying for something that you are not using - sometimes and only sometimes it does work out better to do it but not in all cases

Best of luck

We went several years ago. I week on a gulet from Marmaris-fabulous 10 people plus 3 crew. We got on well and had lots of fun. Accomodation was basic but food was fresh and cooked by the crew. We followed it with a week in a hotel in Marmaris. Hotel was a bit basic and food bland. If we went again would book a better hotel.

The people were friendly and prices reasonable. Be prepared to haggle if you want to buy leather goods etc! It can take a while with cups of tea cold drinks involved!

Guys will try to entice you into their restaurants as you walk along, but they are friendly. Eating out was good and cheap.

Some of the bars on the seafront had their own sunbeds, if you bought drinks you could use them, waiter service too and not excessively pricey!

There were lots of counterfeit designer shirts, fake Rolex etc for sale.

 I bought a very nice laether jacket which I still have and some fake Lacoste polo shirts which lasted years!
