Hisaronu
The charming hill town of Hisaronu, a short distance inland from
Turkey's Mediterranean coast, has boomed into a popular holiday
resort bristling with hotels, bars, restaurants, shops and tour
operators, ideally situated for those intent on exploring the
region and enjoying an active holiday. Hisaronu is centrally
located on the 'Turquoise Coast', within a short 'dolmus' (local
taxi) ride from the busy centre of Fethiye, the beautiful seaside
resort of Oludeniz with its blue lagoon and crescent beach, and
numerous sites of interest. The town of Hisaronu itself is a bit of
a hodge-podge of buildings, but the surrounding area offers a
ruggedly beautiful landscape covered in pine forest, ideal for
holidaymakers keen on walking, and a coast filled with secluded
bays and coves accessed through winding forest paths. Being set at
high altitude the town also has the advantage of being cooler and
less humid than the coast, a pleasant refuge to retreat to after a
day in the summer sun.
Information & Facts
Language
Turkish is the official language, but English is widely
understood in the main tourist areas.
Money
The official currency is the New Turkish Lira (TRY), which was
introduced on 1 January 2005, whereby six zeros were dropped from
the TL and the sub-unit New Kurush was created. Currency can be
exchanged at banks, exchange booths, post offices, airports and
ferry ports; banks have the worst rates and highest commissions,
but will exchange lesser known foreign currencies. Banks open
mainly Monday to Friday, but some are open daily in tourist areas.
ATMs are widely available in major cities and tourist areas, but
Turkish ATM keypads usually do not have letters of the alphabet on
their keys. Most bank branches have ATMs which accept Cirrus and
Plus. Major credit cards are widely accepted; the most popular are
Visa or MasterCard, but American Express is accepted in many of the
more expensive places. Travellers cheques can be exchanged at some
banks and currency exchange offices, but are not as welcome as cash
or credit cards. US dollars or Euros are preferred. Some pensions
and hotels in the most popular destinations accept US dollars as
payment.
