Not when I got married in Turkish, in Turkey to my Turkish wife, not at my nephews Sünnet celebration, or the countless Turkish weddings and Bayrams I have attended, not when I was sitting in the cockpit of an operational Turkish F4 or at my kayınbiraders passing out parade, not in the many afternoons spent drinking Turkish coffee and playing back gammon or evenings drinking raki in the meyhane, Not on the many occasions I have stayed with my Turkish in-laws or been a guest at the houses of other Turkish friends. Not when I'm was working the fields with my Turkish father or carrying sacks full of dead cow for the Iftar meal at Ramazan.<br /><br />I think possibly you should actually read the page before commenting, see the handy links at the bottom mentioning some of the beautiful places you mention including the fascinating village at Kayakoy one of my favourite places in Turkey, or Faralya the beautiful mountain village just outside Oludeniz. <br /><br />I'm sure the Gozleme at the roundabout is outstanding but finding a Turkish town that doesn't have a family run shop serving fresh Gozleme, would be like finding an English town where you can't find freshly made pasties! I'm also sure that Black Pearl Bar and Berts Caribbean bar are both lovely venues but for authentic Turkish cuisine like what the locals eat you might want to try somewhere that actually has a Turkish name! Beyond that I'm really glad you enjoyed your time there, but obviously I'm amongst those that would liken Hisaronu to a very un-Turkish cheap Blackpool!Headstraight75https://www.blogger.com/profile/13344588594340285748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766663670006498058.post-35768833455517905152012-06-28T01:03:58.192+01:002012-06-28T01:03:58.192+01:00Wow, you really didn't experience Turkiye for ...Wow, you really didn't experience Turkiye for what it is, did you? Hisaronu, which means the front of the castle, is situated between Fethiye, the fishing town, and Oludeniz, one of the most beautiful beaches and lagoons on the planet. A short walk from Hisaronu is Kaya, the ghost town. Although some liken Hisaronu to a cheap Blackpool, it is most definitely not. Look past the English restaurants and neon signs, and you'll find a lovely family run gozleme (pancake) shop by the roundabout. Made fresh in front of you, these are a bargain at 4 lira each and a great lunch snack! Pop to Azda and sample the delicious baklava and sweetbread rolls. Wherever you eat, you're guaranteed a great atmosphere and beautiful backdrop, but recommended are the Lemon Tree, Swallows, Abrakebabra and Honeymoon Cafe. For evening drinks, Black Pearl Bar and Berts Caribbean bar are both brilliant. Not too lary like Hisaronu's few clubs, the owners are fantastic and live music from Bert is a must-see! <br />I have lived here, and trust me, its a beautiful place between the seas hammering touch and the cities bustling atmosphere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766663670006498058.post-85097439453014327812012-02-16T10:41:09.839+00:002012-02-16T10:41:09.839+00:00Well that's your opinion although you failed t...Well that's your opinion although you failed to mention that one of the best beaches in the world is five minutes away. Not to mention the stunning local scenery with the mountainous backdrop and the fabulous weather.
