Beach clubs have been the favorite places in summer recently.

No room on the beach for your towel? Constant "entertainment"? Sounds like HELL to me

(maybe I am getting too old..... )

There is a beach club in Oludeniz, but just far enough away so that you cannot walk into the town at night, it was a dangerous walk back, if you partake of too much falling over water!

I prefer to do my own thing, have the freedom of eating where and when I want. Climbing a few rocks and finiding a secluded beach etc etc

I call these all inclusive resorts, tourist prisons. They are fine in places where is is impossible to eat out, or even dangerous to leave your hotel. But I dont understand why they are posular in Turkey - there is so much choice.

honest i don't have much beach culture,but i advice you all to vist a ''Türkü Bar'' to if you have a get opportunitybut be carefull you can be addicted of Turkish tunes and dances after a few glasses ''Turkish raki''>>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl4iY85S-n8

Kurtlovesgrunge, is this your sort of holiday venue? As one of the younger ones here, is this the sort of holiday young Turks go for? I would be very interested to hear. I was told that a lot of Russians go to the all-inclusive holiday club type hotels in Antalya too.
