Go to Marmaris! I've been to Marmarmis, Antalya and Kusadasi, and Marmaris was definitely the best.

In Marmaris there's plenty of hotels that have their own bit of beach, so go for one of those. Get all inclusive as it includes all the food and drinks at the pool. We wemt with Tui Blue, and there's plenty of good deals for flight and hotel you can get with them.

Thanks Chas, that’s useful to hear. Marmaris is coming up a lot on the searches and I was reluctant as know nowt about it…. this post will have us looking closer now :emoticon-0148-yes:
 
Bit early for Xmas but:


Ingredients
  • 50g butter, softened
  • 2kg turkey crown on the bone
  • 1 tsp Chinese five spice or a pinch of ground cloves
For the glaze
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Method
  • STEP 1
    Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Smear the butter all over the turkey crown and season all over with salt and half the five spice. Put in a roasting tin, skin-side up, and roast for 30 mins. While the crown is roasting, mix all the glaze ingredients in a bowl with the rest of the five spice.

  • STEP 2
    Remove the crown from the oven and brush the skin generously with half the glaze. Continue to roast for another hour, glazing twice more, until cooked all the way through and the glaze is sticky and caramelised. Leave to rest for at least 20 mins before carving. Save the juices from the tin to make gravy.

good man. I’d recommend sorting a private boat trip too. They will basically be your chauffeur from 10-4.

Money’s tight mate, I’ll make do with Efes at the all-incl and keep my fingers crossed for the beach. 13 hours I spent looking today - if I’d booked on Wednesday I’d have hit a cheaper price and nicer hotel…. Lesson learned!!

Yep.
Turks will taken any currency really and most bars will advertise the latest exchange rate.
I do take a small amount of TL over though just for cans on the way from Dalaman to Marmaris as I get a driver and he takes me to the off license.
