trip to turkey





I'm just back from a week long all inclusive trip to Icmeler in Turkey.
I stayed at the Fortuna Beach Hotel, you can see a good reflection of the hotel with this link:

The hotel is very well located and has stunning sea views. The only negative I could say about it was the little choice in food. I got by on their excellent salads when there was nothing else I fancied, but if you expect bacon and eggs for breakfast, then forget it! I also went to the bamboo pub next door a couple of times and had Turkish mezes and a beer for about £5.
People need to remember they are in a different culture, both culinary and lifestyle, in Turkey.
The holiday I booked was last minute, and I got a bargain price, like most people in the hotel, so I do not see how they can complain about the food given the price they had paid. I have attached some photos of the view from my room, the hotel from the beach, and the beautiful bay of Icmeler.

I will definitely go back to this hotel. and have no hesitation about recommending it to others.
