Sun World has a weekly direct flight from Dublin to Antalya which runs until September 18th. The fare is £210, with government tax of £5.00 and insurance £26.00. An entry visa for Turkey costs £5 sterling per person, which you get at the airport when you arrive. Bad news is, they won't accept Celtic Tiger fivers; good news is, English passport holders have to fork out a tenner!
The Villa Perla is at Hesapci Sokak No 26, Kaleici, Antalya. Phone: 0090 248 9793. Fax: 0090 241 2917. Rooms cost about £20.00 (sterling) per person sharing; there are no singles. Or consult the Lonely Planet or other guides for recommended pansiyons in Kaleici; there are many, and prices and facilities vary hugely.
Essential reading for a trip to Antalya includes a copy of The Guide: Antalya, an imaginative, vibrant English-language listings/information magazine which is available from local bookshops, price £2, or consult The Guide's website on www.theguideturkey.com. Anyone seriously interested in food should arm themselves with a copy of Joan and David Peterson's Eat Smart in Turkey, from Ginkgo Press, $12.95 direct from the US publisher, or via the Internet from Amazon.com.
