In Turkey I would recommend Kas or Dalyan. Dalyan is probably better for an energetic child!

Kas

Delightfully situated among towering vertical cliffs, Kas is the region’s second major resort, and although lacking in idyllic stretches of beach, the dramatic rocky coastline creates easy access to clear and unpolluted Mediterranean waters; and an abundance of outdoor activities, and a lively nightlife have maintained its reputation as a satisfying holiday destination. It is the centre for glass-bottomed boat trips to the sunken cities around Kekova Island from where remains of mysterious civilisations can be viewed just below the surface of the water, and visits can be arranged to the surrounding archaeological sites at Demre, Myra and the Xanthos Valley. The town is built around the remains of ancient Antiphellos, and there are ruins of a Hellenistic theatre, the monumental Lion Tomb, and some hillside rock tombs in and around the town. Despite the tourist development of what was once a simple fishing village, Kas still preserves its small-town charm, with narrow cobbled streets and novel boutique shops.

Dalyan

Unlike neighbouring resorts, Dalyan is a largely undeveloped, tranquil village offering a significant number of natural and historical attractions, as well as classic Turkish friendliness and hospitality. Due to the fact that nearby Iztuzu beach is one of the world's few remaining breeding grounds for Loggerhead (Caretta Caretta) turtles, an effort has been made to conserve the area's astounding natural beauty. The town is set on the winding Dalyan River that flows between the Mediterranean Sea and Lake Koycegiz, and on the other side of the river are the ruins of the ancient city of Caunos, dating back to the 3rd century. A must is a boat trip to the 2.5-mile (4km) beach (about a 40-minute journey) that transports visitors through tall reeds, to 2,300-year-old Lycian cliff tombs and Caunos, and finally to the large sandbar at the turtle beach. A quicker, but less scenic ride is by dolmus. Nearby thermal springs at Sultaniye, and the Dalyan mud baths are also not to be missed and make for an experience out of the ordinary. The surrounding wetlands are a haven for a variety of wildlife and birds, and the town is offset by a backdrop of pine-covered mountains and lush fields, making Dalyan a perfect destination for nature-lovers. For those looking to party until dawn, the busier resorts such as Marmaris would be better suited, but for the more discerning traveller, there are plenty of activities and excursions to enjoy, local delicacies to savour and spectacular scenery to delight in.

I've been to both on several occasions and now live in Turkey.
Have another great holiday.

Do you mean somewhere different in Turkey,or different from Turkey?

If you mean you still want to go to Turkey,you will probably love Ismeler or Chalis Beach,both of these are good with the added advantage of being just outside a big resort if you wanted to go for the day.

Icmeler is just outside Marmaris and Chalis is just outside Fetiye,they both have a boat service to the big town as well as a bus service.

Your as bad as us ,we have been to Turkey 10 times and love it ,the people are just lovely and the country is gorgeous.

I commute some cases each 12 months. Me/my kinfolk have a great form of suitcases, which we replace reckoning on what sizes we prefer. i might prefer having my own, so i will muddle it with stickers and make it elementary to renowned on airports, and so as that i would not project approximately breaking or unfavourable it. It would not could fancy, it in simple terms should be good and good, even with whether i might lease or purchase. critically below it would fee i offered the suitcase.
