Olu D - Villas??

Post by DaveB »

Now this is what you call "early" planning!!
Does anyone have any good info on family sized villas in Olu Deniz.
Looking for somewhere that will take 2 families (4 adults + 5 kids), during summer 2010.
Have had a bit of a search around google but any recommendations would be most welcome.

Cheers
Dave.

I have been to Olu twice now, and haven't come across any villas as I don't believe that any exist there, but I would suggest trying Hizaronu (spell?) which is immediately behind Olu. It wouldn't cost much to get into Olu by an excellent bus service.....about £1....and there are also loads of resturaunts and things for the kids to do, and more shops if that's what the ladies want.

Andy is right, I am pretty certain there are no Villas in OD itself.

The nearest place would be Hisaronu or Ovacik at the top of the hill. Bit of a pain if you are there for the flying, as you would need to get all your gear together, go down to OD, then get a truck back up. It also makes it impossible just to nip back if you have forgotten something

However, given the cost of hotels in OD, I would opt to stay in an Hotel there.

I would highly recomend the Mercan Beach, just 100m from the front, nice pool, and a bar.

And book through www.travelrepublic.co.uk

Thanks Alastair and Andy,
That's pretty much what I'd kinda realised looking at Google.
The village above OD, Ovacik, seems to have quite a good choice of villas but as you've recommended a hotel Alastair, we'll look into that too.

How long is the bus ride between OD and Ovacik??

Thanks again - keep em comin'

10 minutes.....

But factor in walking to the dolmus stop, and waiting, and it is probably nearer 25 minutes.

Stay in OD centre!

It really is a luxury staying in an hotel virtually on the beach. Breakfast is prepared for you,comfortable rooms, cleaned every day, ahhhhhhh....

I must resist the urge!

It has that effect on you..... drawing you back with its seductive charms.

I have been more times than I can actually remember.... probably 8 times in the last 5 years.

And you will make great friends.... Mahonei the nutter acro pilot, and Mercan, the princess of OD, who also does some mean acro.

I used to get upset when I left the place... the drive up the hill, leaving friends and fun behind. Now I just accept that I will be back in a few months.

And if you work it out in pounds per minutes flying, it is actually pretty cost effective, especially if you go early in the season.
