So we decided to book up to Turkey late August last year, reasoning from my wife is that it was cheap. She didn't actually know about the coup in July and all the attacks across the country from terrorism. I won't lie I was nervous and dreading going myself but pleased I did as we had a great time there even though I spent 2 days in a Turkish private hospital for 2 days (bad sickness and the runs and couldn't even drink water, when doctor checked me out due to the immense stomach pain he admitted me to the hospital)
Weather the first week was absolutely amazing, second week though it was overcast and quite miserable, thankfully plenty to do there and Marmaris was a half hour walk off to the left on the sea front and Icmeler just over 10 minutes. Turkey is now our go to holiday destination, loads of police around as well as private security and cameras everywhere, felt safer there than a night out at Newcastle!
So I got a few pictures and a video of the hotel, it is the Sentido Orca Lotus Beach
First up a video of the hotel from the water taxi
