Camel Beach as well - a chance for not such strong swimmers to have a paddle. The only thing you need to pay for is drinks on board. A really good value for money day out at around 10 an adult. Don't book any trip with your travel rep but use the guys in town - same trip but a lot cheaper. Indiana travel on the main street offer great advice. At least your transfer from the airport is fairly short and no stops on the way. Hope you have a great time but don't hesitate to ask anything else :o) So sorry I missed the posts about Side - not sure why :o( October is a great time of year to visit - the crowds have departed and the weather is far more comfortable but everywhere is still fully open. Expect temperatures above 25 deg C in the day and a lovely warm sea. Evenings and nights though beome quite chilly especially near the beach so it's worth taking a cardigan/jumper or fleece and some long trousers. GBP are widely accepted as are Euros but smaller shops will want Lira. Best to take a mixture but don't change GBP into Euro as has been suggested on other threads. Places display prices in Euros for convenience. Pre Euro days they had prices in GBP, French Francs, German DM etc etc. The Euro has just made things a bit easier for traders!!! You get a better rate of exchange in Turkey
