by the way i should add,besides our food is safe! turkish kitchen is one of three the base kitchen in the World (with French and Chinese)

We've been to these apartments a few years ago and had a great holiday there. The rooms were a reasonable size but there was no air conditioning then so we had to hire fans. The fridges also didn't have ice boxes but that wasn't such a problem except we'd brought icepops for our young son. The food was Ok at the hotel. The Turkish night was excellent, we've been to Turkey 5 times and this was the best for the quality of the entertainment that night.
It's about 15 to 20 minutes walk along the beach into the old town of Side which is wonderful. There are mini markets very near the apartments and also a pharmacy about 5 minutes walk away.
The tap water is not for drinking as it has a very high mineral content. We've used it for cleaning our teeth with no problems 'cos we don't swallow it!
The food is very good in Turkey and the people so friendly and helpful. Most of the time ice is made using bottled water so there is no problem but this may not be the case everywhere.
I don't think you need any inoculations specially for Turkey but the Foreign Office has the current guidelines posted.
Don't forget your £10 note cash entry visa per person, this even applies to babies. They only take English notes.
Have a brilliant holiday and I am sure you will enjoy Side and the Turkish people.
Cheers,
