Sally, can you tell us about the Tufan apartments please, they come up extremely cheap and I always wonder if these things are too good to be true. The difference in prices though means that we could possibly afford to go twice a year instead of once, providing we can bag a cheapy airline seat.

Hi, i dont know if they fly from your local airport but we have just booked for 2011 with aegeanflights.com cheapest ever £295 all in for 2, just for info. 2011 flights are out now, we booked today. Tufan apartments... we arrived after a long delayed flight at 0500 having diverted to Bodrum first, we were tired and our first impression was not favourable because these apartments are basic. The apartments are very spacious, decent sized rooms, and clean. Kitchen area needs upgrading as does the bathroom. However, that was our first impression after a lengthy travel. On day two, we were more than used to it, the Tufan family are lovely, really lovely, bear in mind we had paid £42 for 7 nights through hotels4u which is about £6 per night, they gave us cake and tea round the pool every afternoon, which was embarrassing as we had paid so little to stay. If you book direct with them I think its 25-30 pounds a night, so you can see what a good deal we got. The pool area is clean and the gardens and the plot the apartments stand on is large. If you asked me honestly if I would stay there again, I would say yes, and we may be going back in August. If you asked me if it meant I could go twice to dalyan if i stayed there, I would say DEFINITELY. I must stress however, it is basic, pots not matching that sort of thing, tiles could do with changing in the shower. if you want any more info pm me your e mail and i will e mail you if it will help. throw caution to the wind... it will be fine, and if you really couldnt stand it, there is plenty of accomodation in dalyan just waiting, but i would be suprised if you did. we had room 207, the balcony is not overlooked at all and would ask for that room again if I was booking. if you e mail them a request, as we did, they replied and came up with what we wanted.

Thanks so much for that Sally. I think when we go out in September I will check them out for maybe the next trip, there are several more advertised on alpharooms.com too, which I will be checking out. I see the new Dalyan Spa has opened along the river, I definitely WON'T be staying there, far too rich for my blood but it looks stunning.
