Summer Holiday 2013: Marmaris, Turkey

Hello guys, hope you’ve all been well. Didn’t really post anything in the past week, because I was still tired after coming home from Turkey and had to work almost immediately. My plan was to tell you about my holiday in Marmaris and what goodies I bought while I was there. I also wanted to show you some nail art that I did on myself and a friend and what else I bought that week.

But as you’ve noticed I just didn’t. My computer or blogger seems to have an issue when I want to write my posts because I keep getting this “default” and there’s no text.

Anyway back to Turkey… ^_^

I’d already been to Turkey twice, but this was my first time in Marmaris. It is a wonderful place to visit and very tourist friendly, but I did find it a bit more quiet than for example Alanya.

I did a lot of trips while I was there such as going to the biggest market in Içmeler, visiting a Turkish delight factory and a famous leather company and a boat trip where we could swim every so minutes. I also went out in the bar streets in which I saw this awesome club called Areena.

As I’d been to Turkey before I didn’t really buy a lot of stuff, but these are the goodies that I bought:

A refrigerator magnet bought at the Içmeler market.

Marmaris is known for their pine honey and as I love honey I couldn’t resist this mini set with different kinds of honey, such as from pine and eucalyptus trees. It also contained honey-nut mix, pollen and a honey-herb mix known as Turkish Viagra LOL. I also tasted this other honey, the darker one, but forgot from which tree it was made from.

Of course Turkey is also known for their hammams where they use a kese to scrub off all of your dead skin cells. And afterwards use the foam of the olive oil soap to completely cover your body with the bubbles. So when I saw them in a shop I just had to get them for my family.

Well you know I couldn’t leave Turkey without bringing home some Turkish delight. I don’t like all the flavors, but I did really like this one with hazelnuts. I also found these sweet covered peanuts but I forgot the name though.

While I was browsing for a new hair conditioner I stumbled upon these makeup brushes from Ecotools. I remembered reading about them once but never saw them in Holland so I decided to buy the mini-set instead of the single brushes.

Unfortunately I didn’t see anything nice for my mini me, my goddaughter, but I did find some pink nail polish which I promised her before I left so it’s all good.

Recently I tried to find some leg warmers as I use them for my stretching sessions, so when I saw these for 0,75 Turkish Lira (converted this would be around 0,40 Euro cents) I had to buy them. 

Note: some items aren’t photographed as I already gave them away before I took a picture such as a hammam set consisting of olive oil soap, a kese, a bracelet, a hammam towel and my grey leg warmers. Also some more refrigerator magnets.

I really enjoyed my holiday in Turkey and missed the weather, food, sea and many more immediately when we boarded. Cant wait to go back.

Have you ever visited Turkey? Would you consider Marmaris for your next holiday?
