Driving licence for car hire or Jeep Safari (if you want to drive yourself).

Footwear that you don't mind getting wet - sports sandals or trainers

Trainers or closed toed shoes for visits to archaeological sites

Jelly footwear - some beaches have fine pebbles

Jeans or leggings for pony trekking

Lightweight cotton trousers - nothing worse than not being able to cover up legs that are exposed to the sun!

Ladies - if you intend to go into the mosque (and it would be a shame not to) please bring something that covers your shoulders as a mark of respect to the Islamic religion

We have beautifully clear water - snorkelling kit is always a good idea but will be lent to you if you go on the diving excursion

Suntan creams and lotions - nothing under factor 20 please!

Dark sunglasses - the sun is VERY bright

A plug-in mosquito zapper! The hotel is fly screened but they are determined little insects so some spray on insect repellent containing DEET is also a good idea

Turkish electricity (when it is working) is 220v and lumpy so a two pin adapter plug is needed for hair straighteners and tongs etc. (Don't forget - we have hairdryers).
