No Regrets Booking Advice
If you’re an adrenalin junkie, take to the off-road with some quad biking. You’ll head up, around and down some of the forested hills around Icmeler, and the highest points will offer breath-taking views. If you’re a devout thrill-seeker, this is the best way to admire what this area has to offer.
If you can’t wait to take some impressive photos but don’t fancy hanging onto the back of a quad-bike, take the scenic route on a 4×4 off-road safari. Get driven through the wilderness and into quiet, traditional villages. The safari also stops off at untouched bays for a few swimming breaks.
If you like get as pampered as possible or need a bit of refreshment after a day on a beach or on safari, a trip to a Turkish bath is all that’s needed to fully recharge you. Relax in one of the bath alcoves surrounded by traditional Turkish architecture, before getting a sublime massage or body scrub. Definitely not to be missed on any Turkey holidays.
