Fethiye - Olu Deniz area Vacation Rental apartment: Hisaronu (near Olu Deniz)

we had a fantastic time in hisaronu the weather was hot and the scenery beautiful. we would definately recomend this apartment, we arrived early morning and were so happy that a welcome pack was there for us,as this was very much needed and appreciated. the property was very clean and bright.really nice deco and very spacious for a family holiday.the location was great 5 mins walk from the centre, i would comment though, people not good on there legs would maybe struggle a bit with the steps leading up to the apartment, we found it good excercise and was running up by the end of our holiday..our activities included horse ridin,this was so much fun,we had a turkish bath which is a must on your first day,absolutly fantastic,we also went on jeep safari and a boat trip to dalyan,all recommonded.our favourite restaurant would have to be the suntrap,we had many a drunken night there and so much fun,very friendly people. we have had great customer care from neil,which we very much appreciate and would definately stay here again,hopefully nxt year....enjoy your holiday as much as we did....

The apartment is on the top floor and is in a rear block which means guests enjoy extensive views from the balconies over the valley to the mountains on the opposite site.The climb to the apartment would not be suitabile for people with mobility problems or any elderly person with a heart problem. Behind the apartment is a forest within which there are a number of short and easy walks. The apartment is well designed, is spacious and very well equiped. At the time of our visit quality and standards were excellent. Because of its position in our opinion it is not necessary to hire a car. The Centre is close, frequent 'bus services operate to Fethiye and Oludeniz as well as some more infrequent services to more remote destinations. Try the stunning and hair raising ride along the coastal route to Kabak. There are plenty of tours on offer. There are a variety of companies offering adventurous activities, sailing and sightseeing tours. Information on walking however is hard to find. I have however discovered some real gems of walks which could be classified as moderate to challenging. I hope to provide Neil with details of these walks for 2010 season so that other walkers may discover the real delights of this area. Stout boots, walking stick and water are a must. For those who do not already know, Hisaronu is the start of the Lycian Way which was Turkey's first long distance path.

There is no lack of drinking and eating establishment many with entertainment or large TV screens for sport and the Centre can be lively at night. There is plenty of choice to suite all tastes.

We have enjoyed 2 holidays using Louise and Neil's apartment and are planninga a 3rd for 2010.

The apartment certainly met our expectations. It was very light and spacious and had great views from the balconies at the front.The position was also excellent, in close proximity to all the bars and restaurants but in a quiet spot further up the hill which meant that we were not affected with noise from the main strip which could be quite lively/busy on an evening.
The pool area was also large and well kept and was never crowded.It also had great views across the town and surrounding mountains.
We used SEASIDE TOURS for three trips and found them to be very friendly and great value.1)JEEP SAFARI -This is a must but don't forget your water pistols. £40 for 2 adults and one child. 2)OLU DENIZ BOAT TRIP- Nice day out with lunch provided. £15 for 2 adults and one child. 3)QUAD SAFARI- Good way to spend 3 hours but a bit more pricey at £35 for one adult and one child(sharing quad).
We ate out every night and didn't have a bad meal.We found CASTELLO'S to be excellent value with a wide variety of choice from Italian,Mexican, Steaks and Fish dishes to name but a few.

All in all it was a great week in a great apartment although we did find Hisaronu to be a little bit more commercialised than we are used to but that is a personal thing and it was nowhere near as busy as Faliraki /Aya Napa etc.
