We had an amazing time in Ölüdeniz & Hisarönü 🇹🇷
Prices have definitely gone up since our last visit, but we still found it much cheaper than back home.
Do you think Turkey is still good value, or is it getting expensive? 👇
The beach looks fantastic although it looked pebbley and would prefer sand but nice all the same. Another great video guys 😃👍
Yep, this does look a lovely place and I think I could sit and watch those paragliders coming in there all day. Topped the day off getting your haircut/beard trim from Demis Roussos 🙂
Another great video. It's definitely somewhere we would consider visiting. Definitely won't be paragliding though . Looks a bit risky landing on top of people x
It looks lovely there
Tiki bar was our favourite, you should go in the evening when the entertainment is on, fabulous food, staff go out of there way for you, Uptown Soul singing, we got back just over a week ago and already looking to book for next year
Like others, we've considered Turkey a few times and seen vlogs on various resorts and said we'd like to go but still haven't. Scotsman Kevin, Steve & Carol Vano, Gypsy Souls and others. One day we will.
Ive been 3 times toexpenciv now
Great vlog looked lovely could you not say the day along with the time 😊
Haven’t been back since 2023 after holidaying there for a few years. We enjoyed first few holidays in Oludeniz. It got extremely expensive for food and drink. The knock off shops were getting greedy wanting ridiculous prices. Found them to be aggressive when you wouldn’t pay the daft price they’d give you. Also we stayed at the Liberty Sundia which had all the music bars noise from the strip until 1am. TBH we thought the resort was evolving into a party strip. Hotel itself was fantastic though. Regarding deaths paragliding it happens every year!
Very nice tour of the town. Beautiful setting and all the amenities you’d want. Looks like an awesome place for a getaway. Have a great time! Thanks for sharing!
Like Iain I’ve been on the fence about Turkey, but this shows it’s nothing like I thought it was. The sunset sell that location. Great vid! 🍻
Fantastic video ❤ will have to try this place out.. excellent vlog
Two people died paragliding last week a chinese woman and the paraglider but you dont see much of it in the news they report on it for a couple of days then you dont hear anything about it later on they dont want too damage the tourism around paragliding I suppose
I’ll be honest we’ve looked and debated about Turkey. We’ve said wow. We’ve said na. But having watched this it’s back as wow and a contender for 2028 (2027 is already a bit busy) Love this place, imitation shops included. Great vlog guys. James, it’s pipe and slippers time now 😂
Great video 👍🏼
I was surprised to see paragliders landing around people like that. I can see that's an accident waiting to happen. I would have thought a field for takeoffs and landings would be much better and safer
