| | | | Review by kim & GARY SHATTOCK from SWANSEA SOUTH WALES
The roads in the town and main roads towards beaches are fine. All side roads leading to Villas and Hotels are terrible and are hardly lit at night.This is our only complaint .We really enjoyed our holiday ,and already thinking about returning next year.
Review by diana devine from london
This is the second time I have visited Hisaronu and my view hasn't changed. First time was about 8 years ago. As it is an inland (ex) village , to me it lacks focus and seems to be overdeveloped, sprawling and as a consequence quite unattractive. There are far too many "chinese/indian/thai" restaurants for my liking and a horrible funfair!. I imagine in the high season it is hellish.There also seems to be massive villa/ apartment development going on - some's OK some's quite ugly. On the plus side it has a reasonablr supermarket -Migros - although it seemed very expensive in comparison with previous visits to Turkey ( about 10 in total) The pharmacist was very helpful, the taxis good and were actually much better value than the dolmuses ( 5 of us travelling) which is a first for me. Cost of dolmus from Ovacik to Olu Deniz or Hisaronu was about 1.50 each way which has doubled since last visit to Turkey in 2004. If going out in the evening I would avoid Hisaronu and would head in the opposite direction to Fethiye or go down to Olu Deniz - which are both fantastic places. Sorry Hisaronu but you don't do it for me!!
Review by Sarah Bond from Surrey
Hisaronu is not really for us - it is too English and we come to Turkey to get away from English pounds and fish and chips! Oludeniz was much better suited to us and Fethiye which retains a much more turkish feel.
Review by LESLEY, ROB , LAINE AND FRANKIE VINEY from LIVERPOOL
We loved everything about it, the friendliness and helpfulness of the people, nothing is too much trouble. We enjoyed our time in Hillcrest/Hisaronu so much we are returing to the same place next year, and have recommended it to other friends/family who have decided to join us as well! Fantastic!
Review by Mick Belson from Peterborough
I like Hisaranou and have been to the area 7 times, I do worry it's getting a little 18 - 30
Review by Lynda Lucas from Pebmarsh
I was surprised it was so comercialised but having said that it was not rowdy just tlots of places to go and eat and shop.
Review by dave neal from sidcup
Hisaronu is a resort that has grown over the years from a sleepy village to a resort that has everything for a family holiday
There is an abundavce of restaurants,shops and bars to suit everyones taste but not an overbusy resort
If you want the music bars and the Sky football its there for you
If its a relaxing meal and quiet drink then the resort also caters for you
If you have children its very child friendly and safe as after 7pm at night the main street to all bars, restaurants and shops is closed to ant traffic and you can let the kids walk free with no traffic worries
Oveall the resort has something for everyones taste,its good value,friendly and very clean
It ticked all my boxes for a holiday resort that caters for everyones needs

| | | Mountains, forests and fresh air |  | Why go on holiday to Hisaronu?
This mountain resort is about four kilometres from a beach but a dolmus (minibus) goes frequently to nearby Olu Deniz, the Mediterranean resort it overlooks that's famous for its turquoise lagoon. Hisaronu offers shady walks through pine forests, plenty of fresh air and restaurants serving up familiar "home from home" English dishes for the many British holidaymakers who go there. The village is centred around one main street.
How much will it cost?
From about £370 for a week's B&B in low season in three-star accommmodation. Return flights to Dalaman cost around £180 but can be much cheaper in the quiet months.
When should I go?
If you want a tranquil beach holiday, August may not be the best time to go. Temperatures soar to 33C/90F on the coast and the package holiday crowds are at their peak.
The weather can be fine in May, June and October (26C/77F) and the cost is considerably less.
Who's it for?
Hisaronu is a mountain resort and not all accommodation may be suitable for people with walking difficulties, so it's wise to check first with a tour operator or agent. There are plenty of bars, restaurants and gift shops for holidaymakers of all ages. At night the small resort livens up considerably, and young people hit the clubs. The nearest beaches are at Olu Deniz and Belcekiz.
What are the must-sees?
The beautiful Kidrak Forest Park is 2km from the town. Excursion boats, operating though the summer, can help you explore the coastline. They charge around £8 for a day trip, including lunch.
Excursions tend to take in Gemile Beach, the Blue Cave and St Nicholas Island.
Another great day trip stop is Butterfly Valley, the home of the unique Jersey tiger butterfly.
If you want to stay longer in the valley, spend the night on a treehouse platform for about £2.50 a head — not to be advised in the cooler months, or for lone female travellers.
Near to Hisaronu is the deserted village of Kayakoy, which has some 3,000 uninhabited houses once lived in by Greeks. It is another unmissable sight.
What will I spend?
Prices vary greatly but as a rough guide, expect to pay: moderate restaurant meal £10 with wine; bottle of beer £1; 24-exposure camera film £2.50; four-mile taxi ride £6.15.
