MM Links November 2011 Week 4
45 Answers
All too soon it is my last week to set the links. I have enjoyed my month as "Regal Roslyn" and would like to thank gen2 for all his help this month and indeed every month. Until you actually set the links yourself, you don't actually realise all the work that goes on behind the scenes!
Another of our favourite holiday destinations is Turkey. We have been 3 times, once staying at Gumbet, near Bodrum (site of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus - one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) and twice staying at the Montana Pine Resort near Olu Deniz in the South West of Turkey. The Montana Pine Hotel is built 400m above sea level amidst pine-forest hills and has a magnificent view of the lagoon down at Olu Deniz. It is 4*/5* but even now is very reasonably priced for such a fantastic hotel. We would thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting Turkey for a holiday. The hotel has its own minibus which takes guests down into Olu Deniz & the beach daily. The grounds round the hotel are immaculate with gardeners working in them till dark. The accommodation is in octagonal buildings set around swimming pools and with excellent food the hotel was so perfect that we just had to go again the following year. The hotel is situated at the start point of the Lycian Way, a recently popular 500 km. walking trail to Antalya. Early morning was a good time for a short stroll to see the wild mountain goats. The pine forests round the hotel have an abundance of wild life including wild tortoises that occasionally wander into the hotel grounds, and wild boar which thankfully stayed hidden for most of the time, although we did meet one on our walk back up the hotel mountain road one evening, after we had a stroll down to the nearby town of Hisaronu ( nearest place for shops and bars). I think it was more frightened of us as it thundered away into the undergrowth at a rate of knots!
