Hi, I'm Lindas joungest daughter.
I LOVE THIS! Cor blimey, what an amazing place. I have three future husbands and have nearly been sold for some camels! John has also picked up a few men whilst here. My mother has embarrased me on several occassions, but I guess thats what mums are for. I've had such a brilliant time and if you are reading this then you must try:
1. Moonlight boat trip with Erdem
2. White water rafting
3. Four Seasons restaurant
4. The Sun Ray Lounge
5. Albatros Bar
The places in the welcome guide are all lovely. Thank you to you all for allowing us to say here, I've had the time of my life.

Merhaba! I'm John, Lindas partner. Location, Location, Location. What a fabulous place, picturesque and very friendly locals adds up to a fantastic experience, must recommend the rafting especially, and the lazy bars up the river just outside the town. Still so much to do, so will be back. Tesekker Erderin

Hi, i'm Lindas oldest daughter, I have only been here a week but feel like all the local waiters and boatmen etc., are my best friends. Fabulous people and the georgeous pool is such a relief from the heat. I've done some great activities and love the food. All in all a brilliant holiday and fantastic villa. Thank you.

Have to start to writing as I will forget by the end of the two weeks. When we arrived we explored Villa Baris and loved it as soon as we got through the door. Harriett, my daughter, bagged the best bedroom only because the first bedroom we explored was the other double. Carole's directions about finding the main street, right, right and right again, geat directions as when sloshed and trying to get home it was simple to reverse. Only been here three days so far and love Dalyan. Sampled the steak at Ramazans restaurant and met Muharrem. Both meals were delicious. Plan to book a boat trip with Erdem, he called around today and caught us lounging like beached whales by the pool. We know we have got to start exploring but lying and dipping in and out of the pool with fabulous views is very moorish. We also have the advantage of the garden in full bloom, very pretty indeed. Another treat for us,for the last three days we have been blessed with a breeze. We are very lucky as Harriett and I have had the place to ourselves for the last three days and we feel like we are in paradise. Its bliss, movie star stuff, really looking forward to John and Lucy joining us tomorrow, but this has been a very special mother and daughter time together.
Last night at Villa Baris, after two glorious weeks and could easily stay for another week. Waking up in the UK without the constant sunshine and amazing views from the pool is going to be tough. However, we can hopefully return. My most enjoyalbe experiences whilst being here is the 'white water rafting', morning breakfast at the same little shack on the river path called 'Sevgi Gozleme', found it by accident while out strolling. It is not in any of the brochures as it is a little off the main stteet. You can sit for ages in the shade covered by the tree topped roofs and watch the baby turtles!! lots of them. My favourite restaurant isn't easy to choose as there are so many but 'Cehan' on the river is fabulous, my second favourite is the 'Four Seasons' the waiters are such good fun. Food great, Turkish dancing by the beautiful boys followed by some real giggles. Favourite bars, Albatros and Sun Ray. The locals have made us feel very welcome and I never thought I would be playing poker with them in a bar. Erdems moonlight boat trip was lovely, he is such a funny guy, he looked after us really well. Bumped into him most days and will miss him lots. If you are ever needing any adivce on the area Erdem will try to sort it out for you, he is a true guardian. There is much to explore in Dalyan, if it is too hot to walk just use the taxis they are very reasonable. I don't think I've ever been on a holiday destination where the locals have made you feel like part of the community so quickly and it wasn't just about tourists money. Big thanks to Mark, Paul, Carole and Sonia I don't want to go home.

Thank you for indtroducing Dalyan to our family. Turkey was my first visit but my partners second. I will definately be booking to come back next year but for longer. We have had the best time, have never experienced so many educational, cultural things whilst being away. Here, you are in amongst the locals greeting one another every morning and evening. Mark and Caroles friends, Ramazan, Erdem and Muharrem were excellent hosts and fabulous people, I can see why they have become people of such importance. They have all been exceptionally accomodating and I actually feel emotional to leave. This holdiay has put the spring back in my step and the sparkle back in my relationship, a very special holiday that would be hard to beat. Thank you Mark, Paul, Carole and Sonia for the use of the villa, the children had an amazing time and Matt and myself too.

We had a fantastic and relaxing break here, spent most of our time "chillaxing" at Turtle beach. The weather has been glorious, the people incredibly friendly and the villa very nice indeed. From reading the book we elected to do a boat trip with Erdem and were not disappointed, particulary swimming in the hot springs with mud face packs on. Our top Turkish delights:
1. Effes beer
2. Pistashio magnum ice-cream
3. Albatros cocktails/vodka limon
4. Kordons Turkish breakfast
5. Ramazan Hans Sea Bass
6. Erdems boat trip and bar-be-que
7. Turtle beach

Hello, I'm Pam, Steve, Mark and Pauls Mum. I'm so glad they talked me into coming to Dalyan. I'm so proud of them and what they have achieved. I've never flown before so I was rather nervous. I would like to thank the girls for everything, the only person missing was their dad. It was a perfect family holiday. The people were so kind and helpful and I couldn't take everything in. My best friends Jean and Bill also came, it was a holiday I will always treasure. Once again to you all I love you so much, god bless Mum.

Hi, this is Tim and family, I've lost track of time, we have been here in Villa Baris for 5 days now and we have been having a fabulous time, relaxing in the pool, boat trips to the beach, mooch around town and eating out in the evenings. But today we went for a trip on Erdems boat and we had the time of our lives! We swam and cruised a bit and saw a turtle at such close quarters, wow! he was just there by the boat. Then we cruised around a bit more stopping in little bays and coves, swam some more and just had a great relaxing time. They then served lunch - bar-be-que chicken which tasted divine,a glass of wine and I never wanted to go home. After lunch it was snorkelling to see a wreck, a swim in hot springs and a stop for ice-cream at the beach, all part of a brilliant day.
