A week in Antalya

[keithh]

After a nice week in Bodrum last easter, we decided to go to Antalya this year with my personal goal of seeing a lot more aircraft than in Bodrum. We invited my cousin to join us as a thankyou for putting us up while our new home was renovated. We stayed at the Dinc hotel in Lara which was on the flightpath to the airport. We flew Easyjet from Gatwick on board G-UZMJ and arrived at the hotel in the evening. Before departure I made a few.

I made a small number at the airport and then a lot more over the the hotel! Arrivals were from the south from about late evening to mid morning and from the north for the rest of the time. In order to see arrivals from the north, we had to wait for them to depart which was the only downside as, if an aircraft landed from the north and the runway direction changed before it left, we missed it but they were few and far between.

Lara is on a busy flight path and, when the sun shines, a lot of overflights can be seen.

Great logs and pix Keith, you certainly get around these days!

If anyone is thinking of going here, the Dinc hotel was about £30 a night and you can see the view from the pics. I asked for a west facing room as high as possible when I booked and they told me to ask again on check in. When we arrived however, they had put us in 201 and 202 which faced west but were a bit low as there were trees in front of the hotel although we could still see arrivals from the south. Next morning though, the manager was on reception and he recalled my request and offered us suites on the top floor although it was off season and the hotel was nearly empty so you would probably have to book those rooms at a higher rate to make sure you get them. They were rooms 701 and 702 and were larger than our original rooms but more importantly had a large patio instead of the balcony on the lower floors. This gave fantastic all round views.
