We explored the outdoor pools first, feet nibbling fish in one and mud at the next with a 'greenhouse' to sit in to let the mud dry!! Signage wasn't great and we nearly didnt find the natural thermal pool and sauna inside th3 building. This was definitely the highlight. Beware though, bathing hats compulsory at the indoor pool and we were stopped but reception very kindly gave us one each.”

Such as Name of cafe, how to identify your driver, and a direct number if you have concerns. We arrived in Alanya bus ship and at port there are many drivers offering taxis. There are cafes and restaurants along port entrance. We were only told to meet at cafe…”
