    Hi there, great vlog. Ive not done that side of Turkey, as a single 53 year old man where would you recommend? Ovacik, Fethiye, Olu Deniz or Callis? I dont mind a bar with some chilled music, but dont like loud etc. What would you recommend, I was thinking of Callis.

      @andyc882 Před měsícem

      Hi, thanks for your comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Any of the places you mention would be pretty good, but çalis is definitely a good compromise of beach/bars/general life. Close to Fethiye too, if you fancy a trip into town 😁

    GORKEM HOTEL. I had an incredibly bad experience at the Gorkem hotel ovacik which was booked through Travel Republic. The staff made me feel unwelcome, and the breakfast was dire-a half slice of sausage if I was lucky, not enough to feed a cat, with the dog that was begging for food at the table. The room was poorly attended; a wet bath towel was left outside to dry and was never changed. The cleaner left the door open, leaving the room unsecured. There was no fridge, and the shower water was warm if I was lucky in the morning and freezing cold at night. When I came back late after enjoying my day away, I ordered a drink from an unmotivated barman. The security guard mentioned that the barman wanted to go to bed soon. It was very dangerous walking back from the main road where the bus stops to the hotel at night. There was no street lighting, and packs of wild dogs were roaming. Solo travelers could easily be robbed by locals or attacked by dogs. Overall, the room was basically clean but lacked a fridge, had a poor shower, and had poor room security. The customer service was abysmal, and the staff were unmotivated. Additionally, calls from an adjacent mosque at 4:00 a.m. woke me in the early hours of the morning. Travel Republic was responsible for this fiasco. I would give this hotel a rating of 1/10. J'ai eu une expérience incroyablement mauvaise dans cet hôtel, réservé via Travel Republic. Le personnel m'a fait sentir indésirable et le petit-déjeuner était désastreux-une demi-tranche de saucisse si j'avais de la chance, à peine de quoi nourrir un chat, avec le chien qui mendiait de la nourriture à table. La chambre était mal entretenue; une serviette de bain mouillée a été laissée à l'extérieur pour sécher et n'a jamais été changée. La femme de ménage a laissé la porte ouverte, laissant la chambre non sécurisée. Il n'y avait pas de réfrigérateur, et l'eau de la douche était tiède si j'avais de la chance le matin et glaciale la nuit. Quand je suis rentré tard après avoir profité de ma journée, j'ai commandé un verre à un barman non motivé. Le garde de sécurité m'a dit que le barman voulait aller se coucher bientôt. Il était très dangereux de marcher de la route principale où les bus s'arrêtent jusqu'à l'hôtel la nuit. Il n'y avait pas d'éclairage public, et des meutes de chiens sauvages rôdaient. Les voyageurs seuls pouvaient facilement être volés par des locaux ou attaqués par des chiens. En général, la chambre était relativement propre mais manquait de réfrigérateur, avait une mauvaise douche et une sécurité de la chambre insuffisante. Le service client était déplorable, et le personnel n'était pas motivé. De plus, les appels d'une mosquée adjacente à 4h00 du matin me réveillaient aux petites heures du matin. Travel Republic est responsable de ce fiasco. Je donnerais à cet hôtel une note de 1/10. Ich hatte eine unglaublich schlechte Erfahrung in diesem Hotel, das über Travel Republic gebucht wurde. Das Personal ließ mich unwillkommen fühlen, und das Frühstück war katastrophal - eine halbe Wurstscheibe, wenn ich Glück hatte, nicht genug, um eine Katze zu füttern, mit dem Hund, der am Tisch um Essen bettelte. Das Zimmer war schlecht gepflegt; ein nasses Badetuch wurde draußen zum Trocknen aufgehängt und nie gewechselt. Die Reinigungskraft ließ die Tür offen, wodurch das Zimmer ungesichert war. Es gab keinen Kühlschrank und das Duschwasser war, wenn ich Glück hatte, morgens warm und abends eiskalt. Als ich nach einem langen Tag spät zurückkam, bestellte ich ein Getränk bei einem unmotivierten Barkeeper. Der Sicherheitsdienst erwähnte, dass der Barkeeper bald ins Bett gehen wollte. Es war sehr gefährlich, nachts von der Hauptstraße, wo die Busse halten, zum Hotel zurückzugehen. Es gab keine Straßenbeleuchtung und Rudel von wilden Hunden streunten umher. Alleinreisende könnten leicht von Einheimischen ausgeraubt oder von Hunden angegriffen werden. Insgesamt war das Zimmer im Grunde sauber, aber es fehlte ein Kühlschrank, die Dusche war schlecht und die Sicherheit des Zimmers war unzureichend. Der Kundenservice war miserabel und das Personal war unmotiviert. Außerdem weckten mich die Rufe einer angrenzenden Moschee um 4:00 Uhr morgens. Travel Republic war für dieses Fiasko verantwortlich. Ich würde diesem Hotel eine Bewertung von 1/10 geben. У меня был невероятно плохой опыт в этом отеле, забронированном через Travel Republic. Персонал заставил меня почувствовать себя нежеланным гостем, а завтрак был ужасным - пол куска сосиски, если повезет, недостаточно даже для кошки, с собакой, которая просила еду у стола. Номер был плохо убран; мокрое полотенце для ванны оставили сушиться снаружи и никогда не меняли. Уборщица оставила дверь открытой, оставив номер без присмотра. В номере не было холодильника, а вода в душе была теплой утром, если повезет, и ледяной ночью. Когда я вернулся поздно вечером после проведенного дня, я заказал напиток у немотивированного бармена. Охранник сказал, что бармен хочет скоро пойти спать. Было очень опасно идти ночью от главной дороги, где останавливаются автобусы, до отеля. Не было уличного освещения, и по округе бродили стаи диких собак. Одинокие путешественники могли легко быть ограблены местными жителями или атакованы собаками. В целом, номер был в основном чистым, но в нем не было холодильника, душ был плохой, а безопасность номера - неудовлетворительной. Обслуживание клиентов было отвратительным, и персонал был немотивированным. Кроме того, призывы из соседней мечети в 4:00 утра будили меня рано утром. Travel Republic несет ответственность за этот провал. Я бы поставил этому отелю оценку 1/10. Bu otelde, Travel Republic aracılığıyla rezervasyon yaptırdığım inanılmaz derecede kötü bir deneyim yaşadım. Personel bana kendimi hoş karşılanmamış hissettirdi ve kahvaltı berbattı-şanslıysam yarım dilim sosis, bir kediyi bile doyurmak için yeterli değil, masada yiyecek dilenen köpekle birlikte. Oda kötü şekilde bakılmıştı; dışarıda kuruması için bırakılan ıslak bir banyo havlusu asla değiştirilmedi. Temizlik görevlisi kapıyı açık bırakarak odayı güvensiz hale getirdi. Odada buzdolabı yoktu ve duş suyu sabahları şanslıysam ılıktı, geceleri ise buz gibi soğuktu. Günümü geçirdikten sonra geç saatlerde otele döndüğümde, isteksiz bir barmenden bir içki sipariş ettim. Güvenlik görevlisi, barmenin yakında yatmak istediğini söyledi. Otobüs duraklarının bulunduğu ana yoldan otele gece yürümek çok tehlikeliydi. Sokak lambası yoktu ve vahşi köpek sürüleri dolaşıyordu. Yalnız seyahat edenler, yerel halk tarafından kolayca soyulabilir veya köpekler tarafından saldırıya uğrayabilirdi. Genel olarak, oda temelde temizdi ancak buzdolabı yoktu, duş kötüydü ve oda güvenliği yetersizdi. Müşteri hizmetleri berbattı ve personel isteksizdi. Ayrıca, sabahın erken saatlerinde, sabah 4:00'te bitişikteki camiden gelen ezan sesleri beni uyandırıyordu. Travel Republic bu fiyaskodan sorumludur. Bu otele 1/10 puan verirdim.

There’s a lot of people looking to try and make a few quid from you, so be prepared for a lot of chats!

    Great scenery, great video, genuine people. The Scottish landscape is exceptional, especially off the beaten track. Did a day trip around Loch Lomond when I was studying at Glasgow Uni in the early 80s. Never forget those memories. No GoPros or Digital cameras back then, just a few grainy photos have survived. Watching you guys enjoying yourselves is wonderful.

    Hi Andrew, thank you for the upload. We're considering this location for a week at the end of September. Would you know if there's busses into Malaga and other nearby towns and also is there any decent supermarkets as were looking to rent an apartment so will be self-catering Thanks, Jen

    • @andyc882
      @andyc882 Před 11 měsíci

      Hi Jen, glad you liked the video, there are definitely buses to Malaga from Torrox, although we had a hire car so didn’t use them and couldn’t say how frequent they are. If you’re staying in Torrox pueblo there are a lot of small independent shops that will cover what you need, but if you are down on the Costa then there is a Lidl, Aldi and Mercadona. If you find yourself in mercadona (and you like red wine) I thoroughly recommend ‘The Guvnor’. The bottle looks terrible, but the wine is superb!

      Hi Williem, we’re don’t tend to stay in the hotels in Ovacik, so couldn’t really give an option on whether any of them are good or not. Good luck though!

      @andyc882 Před rokem

      Hi Laura, if you’re reasonably fit you’ll be fine - Ovacik is a bit hilly in places but nothing too strenuous and you can walk to most of it without issues. There are regular dolmus on the main roads too. Hope this helps!

      Hi Stevie, glad you liked it. I think overall the baobab was marginally better (better beach area, free canoe/sup/pedalos and more for kids if that’s important to you) but they’re both pretty close.

    • @andyc882
      @andyc882 Před rokem

      Hi Laura, I don’t know that hotel but I don’t think it’s far from Orka world water park, which I think a 6 year old would love! If you are looking to go to the beach it is worth heading down to olu deniz and turn right where the dolmus drops you off to head to the blue lagoon ( it’s a lot more small child friendly than the main beach, s as the water is much shallower). I’m sure you’ll have a great time there as everybody makes a big fuss off the kids (especially the little ones)

I am certified through bsac (advanced Ocean Diver) but wanted to use a professional company when I visit oludeniz again. No plans this year yet 😔 but me and my family have been a couple of times and we all, even my children, paraglided last June. (Used deep blue who were so professional and offer insurance with their price). It was amazing and out of this world. It's good to know others that love oludeniz, ovacik and hisaronu as much as we do. Looking forward to the next video. Take care and enjoy. ☀️⛱️🌊

      Hi Paulo, the beach along the frontage of the hotel is kept very clean (and that is quite a large area), however once you are past the ends of the hotel there is a lot of plastic waste on the beach up past the high tide mark. It’s quite sobering when you see the amount and is a real shame given the beauty of the beach.

      Thanks Jordan, glad you liked it! You can walk easily for a good few miles in either direction of the hotel along the beach and once you get a few meters past the ends of the hotel you’ll have the place to yourself pretty much. All the staff are super friendly and pretty well all speak good English. Airport was pretty good too. Definitely a good experience there!

      Glad you liked the video! Ovacik is pretty relaxed, a few bars and restaurants within easy walks but nothing too wild! If you’re looking for a more lively night out then Hisaronu has all the bars you could want. It’s a 20 minute walk down the hill (or 5 minutes on the dolmus). Hope you have a great holiday!
