    Heading over there mid September. First holiday abroad in three years and first one without kids for 19 years. We had our honeymoon in Stalis 20 years ago and really liked the place and hopefully it will be as good this time as it was then.

    Blue Sea Beach Hotel - it looks decent and the reviews are pretty good.

    Yeah very nice place little along the way from the main area
    However still only ten minutes walk it’s in a lovely spot we are staying basically out the back of you hotel
    Across the main road in the rainbow
    The distance from the main area will not bother us
    Enjoy Stalis it’s realy great place

    We ventured into Antalya last night, we had a great night, wives done a bit shopping whilst us blokes had a beverage or 2 and entertained the kids. We had a lovely Turkish meal around 10 bells then sank a fair few bottles of red. Kids are happy and bonding well ( cousins ) which makes the holiday ! We can relax and just take the whole place in. We are heading to Belek tonight to see what’s around. Happy holidays people and enjoy

    We’ve got them booked for Wednesday, I’ve reassured the wife that Oliver’s Army recommended it, if it goes pear shaped I’ll let you know

    Corfu in 3 weeks. 1st sunshine holiday in 3 years. Cannot bastard wait. If those little ****s (the kids) spoil it, then there may be empty seats on the plane on the way home..........

    Belek very family friendly mate, we didn’t get around very much as one of the kids wasn’t feeling too clever. It seems to be a lot like Lara beach, large hotel complexes aimed at families. We found a bar called Dali which had a fella playing a guitar and singing, mainly sheesha bars from what we seen but very laid back. Really nice place. You will have a cracking time

    Cheers for the info mate, good to know. It does look similar to Lara beach with all the hotels on the beachfront as you say.
    What are the temperatures getting up to?:emoticon-0157-sun:

    From tomorrow it’s going to drop to around 35 apparently, too hot to lie in it, the wife loves the sun and she’s struggling with the heat. That’s what the pool and beers are for though<cheers>
