Having visited several countrys and still not finding our perfect holiday resort, friends pointed us in the direction of Turkey.
We visited a few resorts and found the people so friendly and obliging among the places we first visited were Side, Olu Deniz,Hisaronu and Fethye.
Still not finding that magical thing that we were searching for we stumbled on Icmeler.
It was love at first sight,the people,mountains the mixture of old and new.
A picturesque Canal over which wooden arched bridges spanned, and in an evening, fairylights that adorned these bridges were lit up.
Little shops either side of the canal selling their wares with their lights glowing gives the whole area a fairytale look.
Our family was hooked, we have been going for a few years now,and we still get the goose pimples as we view Icmeler for the first time on our return visits

Woke up one morning at 6-10 am to the sound of some sort of engine fireing up under our bedroom window.
We were staying in the Uysal Apartments that are just off the main square opposite the Black Sea Restaurent.
Ambling onto the balcony I saw this guy with some sort of gun spraying all the street and shops with this smoke.
This happened twice whe we were there on a fortnights holiday.
But it works not one mozzie bite between us
