Hi ,
Do recommend Bodrum for family with young children ? If yes , can you recommend resort or hotel there ? Thank you
Hi! What time of year are you thinking of visiting? My trip to Bodrum was quite a few years ago in August - it was stiffingly hot! I visited for the day, and even in the evening it was like a cauldren!
As you haven't filled in your details, I don't know if you come from a country that is used to the heat!
How old are your children - babies/ toddlers/ under 5's? etc. Are they used to traveling?
Bear in mind transfer times from airport etc.
Are you planning on a package tour or booking independently? Are you wanting somewhere lively, with lots of nightlife, or somewhere more traditional with local character?
Other alternatives in Turkey might be Icmeler - Has a beach, some sea breezes, family resort - (quite a few family orientated hotels with entertainment etc) Mainly flat ground, water park, play grounds, boat trips. Near to Marmaris for shopping, nightlife etc. Plus ferry to Rhodes for a day trip, or Dalyan for mud baths, boat cruise to beach (lovely white sands and warm blue sea - but very little shelter) Minus is the transfer from Dalaman airport - 2.5 hours+.
Fethiye/Olu Deniz- Plenty to see and do for families - though again long transfer from airport.
Antalya has nice beaches, historical old town, harbour, nearby waterfalls-(by local bus/ dolmus)Also has its own airport.
These are just a few suggestions-check out VTers pages on Turkey/ Bodrum etc for more information.
Turkey is going to be very popular this year due to its currency - not Euro!
I'm sure that you'll have a great time wherever you decide to go!
Please give a bit more information, so that you'll get answers that might be more accurate to your needs.
Have A Great Trip!
Please feel free to contact me for more info.
Best Wishes,
Sue
Thank you very much for your time
First of all we are gonna travel in July & I'm coming from very hot country so we have no problem with the weather .
I'm traveling with my husband and my two kids ( 5yrs & 2 yrs old )
The beach in Bodrum is not very big, but there is a narrow pebbled beach along the eastern bay (Kumbahce Bay). During the days it's full of sun beds and people. In the evening the sun beds are removed and the restaurants along Dr Alim Bey Caddesi and Cumhuriyet Caddesi pu tables there. So you can actually sit on the beach and have a nice dinner.
I am a very keen windsurfer and have been windsurfing all over the Bodrum peninsular (Gumusluk , Akyarlar, Bitez, Camel Beach, Guvercinlik, Ortakent) and also at Alaçati near to Ismir. In Kos (Kefalos, wave beach etc) and also at various locations in the UK (too many to mention).
This year I decided to try a new spot on the Bodrum peninsular and found the best location ever!. It is in Kadikalesi a small bay situated between Turgutreis and Gumusluk. The bay gets great cross shore conditions and you can plane straight from the beach (rare in Bodrum). There are great waves that break just by the beach where the centre is situated, so you can get big jumps straight away. There is also large swell outside so you can hit these face on. On the way back in then you can surf these waves as well, making it great fun!!
The water is also very warm so there is no need to take a wetsuit. Mind you I went in July. I'm not sure what it would be like in September or any of the low season months.
From speaking to the guys at the centre, Kadikalesi seems to get the best wind for advanced windsurfers in July and August. June is definitely a no go if your this standard, however im sure it would be great for beginners and intermediates. In terms of the way the wind blows its very similar to the rest of the peninsular - light in the mornings (great for beginners) and building in the afternoons for the more advanced.
The wind seems to come regularly from the SW, so the worst position you could ever end up in is down in Turgutreis. However the centre there had good rescue cover, so there is no need to worry about getting in trouble.
In terms of instruction, the guys at the centre gave my girl friend a great beginner lesson. It took her 2 and half hours to learn the basics and was very reasonably priced. She was in the harness by the end of two weeks after a private lesson. I would say my girlfriends instructor was one of the most professional I have met!
Would def recommend this place to anyone! In terms of equipment they had a good range of equipment, from good beginner boards with Dakron sails to wave boards with Neil pryde, Hot Maui sails, North and Gun sails to choose from.
They also said that in 2011 they will have fun boats, pico's and catamarans to rent.

>:)
The Dolmus (dolmush) is typically Turkish and can be found everywhere. These are mainly minibuses travelling relatively short distances. A dolmus usually waits and starts in the bus station (Otogar) until it is full and then leaves. You can board a dolmus anywhere on its route by signaling it to stop for you. Similarly you can get off at a convenient point anywhere along the route. The destination of the dolmus is posted in the windscreen. There are services to all places on the Bodrum peninsula. In summer the latest hour of departure of the minibuses or dolmus is 24.00.
This kind of public transport is cheap and efficient and works very well all over Turkey.
I had a couple of smashing meals at this steak restuarant a while ago and just never gor round to putting a tip on VT. Now that I am catching up with myself the tip is here!
This is a lovely open air restaurant in Gumbet that is a meat eaters paradise. The smell of meat cooking practically makes you salivate. The staff are helpful and welcoming and this restaurat is usually very busy with tourists.
Their meat is good quality - something they profess on their promotional material but it is true, and it will be cooked to your requirements not the chefs which makes a nice change. Portions are generous and side orders add to the overall value of the meal.
Prices are very reasonable. Place is very clean. OK drink selection.
Definitely worth a try :o)
