http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34073 There are no houses or hotels in the bay, but a couple of enterprising local families from nearby villages have set up restaurants. They get their power from antediluvian generators and bring water in by boat every day. The best of these is the eccentric Sailors House in the north western corner. Serving the best mezzes in the whole of Turkey (well, at least the best we found in the four years we lived around the southern coast) Ali, with his son Mustapha, go to great lengths to make your stay memorable. Sublime food, excellent hospitality and ad hoc entertainment combine to make every visit unique.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34073 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13522
They also host music afternoons with Blues/Jazz/Salsa styles. There is a kids park and good Mediterranean-inspired restaurant and a free bus service from hotels in Olu Deniz & Hisaronu.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13522 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11507
Top class yoga tuition and time to relax on the beautiful secluded beaches.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11507 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7395
Also worth doing - taking a mud bath, followed by a shower and a dip in a thermal bath afterwards.

And finally by boat again to Iztuzu or 'Turtle' beach, a beautiful expanse of white sand. You can dive into the Mediterranean on one side of the beach and swim in fresh water on the other. The beach is closed to public access at night to allow the turtles to breed there.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7395
