Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hi Butch, Make up another bed, I am coming over!! LOL!!! Bonnie Washburn, Perry Maine Below is another Patalya Resort. This one is but a 15 minute drive from Ankara .. in an area where many years ago (during my first trip to Turkey) we used to hunt and fish .. but now is a resort area with the most fantastic lake side restaurants one can find .. and when I say lake side .. I mean long patios where one can get a table 18 inches from the water. Ducks, geese, and fish will swim up beside tables and little birds will land on them (if you allow them to) begging for hand outs. Enterprising villagers paddle little boats along the edge offering fresh flowers and village made foods .. cheeses, butter in crocks, etc. The resort is at http://www.patalyalakeside.com.tr/home.asp Its where I went to dinner a few nights ago .. great chow .. and like most places in Turkey .. ridiculously low prices. :-) Butch >>I plan to beat the heat Friday and Saturday next .. taking a purty gal >>up to the Patalya Thermal Resort .. around a half hour out of Ankara. >>http://www.patalyahotel.com.tr/ >> >>Some more photos .. http://www.patalyahotel.com.tr/ >> >>Its popular 12 months a year .. in Winter we swim in the heated outdoor >>pool .. with snow on the ground.

Walking trails >>through the forest there .. a very natural environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
