Bridge at the Raga Side, Turkey

We return to the superb 5 * adult only ultra all-inclusive Hotel Raga Side for this excellent bridge holiday. Our bridge guests cannot fail to be impressed with the excellent dining and facilities included in this holiday.

Laze on the beach and order your all-inclusive drinks from an app and have them served to you on your sunbed whilst you soak up the warm November sun. Lunch in the beachfront restaurant overlooking the turquoise sea or enjoy your ultra all-inclusive package of exotic cocktails and drinks from the hotel terraces and guitar shaped outdoor pool. The old town of Side is a short flat coastal walk along the sea front promenade. With its cobbled winding streets and pretty harbour, it is simply delightful. The ancient site is perfect for leisurely exploration with its Temples of Apollo and Athena, and the remains of the Roman Baths that house an impressive collection of artefacts. Take a boat trip from its harbour along the Turquoise Coast or grab a bargain in one of its numerous shops that sell everything from souvenirs, to leather goods or the latest fashion clothing

Itinerary

Please choose your preferred 8 or 15 day itinerary

Meet us at Antalya Airport for your transfer to your hotel.

Includes Dinner

At the start of your holiday, you’ll be invited to join our director and host for a welcome meeting in the hotel. Any single travellers will have the opportunity to find a partner for the bridge room.

Our bridge programmes will vary according to the length of your break, and, in addition to playing bridge, we try to include interesting bridge seminars, hosted by your EBU-qualified director.

Your duplicate bridge will be available every evening between 7:45pm and 11:15pm. We endeavour to vary these evening sessions, balancing between teams and pairs and featuring at least one Swiss event during a two-week break.

Bridge will also be offered some afternoons between 2:30pm and 4:45pm. These sessions are normally given over to open pairs/teams. On UK holidays, bridge sessions may take place in the mornings instead of the afternoons, complimenting any included excursion programme.

Masterpoints are awarded on evening bridge sessions, and on day sessions with over 5 tables.

During your bridge holiday, nothing is obligatory, and you can play in as many or as few bridge sessions as you wish. We don’t forget you are on holiday and our bridge programmes also allow time to relax, giving the opportunity for you to explore the surrounding area.

A wide range of optional excursions are available from our representative and will be bookable in resort.

Take the opportunity to visit, Antalya, the capital of this region and enjoy a boat trip along its coast, a guided walk of the old city and visit to a local waterfall.

Enjoy a river boat trip to the Manavgat Waterfalls. Stop for a swim where the river meets the coast, before cruising onwards to Manavgat where you can shop until you drop in its huge bazaar market, and visit the impressive, local mosque.

Be transported back 3000 years when you visit ancient Perge, one of the oldest and richest ancient cities in Turkey. The magnificent, Roman amphitheatre in Aspendos is so well preserved, it is in almost perfect condition, and reflects the peak of the Roman Empire with engineering marvels that have stunned millions of visitors for decades.

Relax and absorb the nature from a gentle cruise on the Green Canyon Lake, a stunning reservoir of the Oymapinar Dam, and surrounded by lush scenery of the Taurus Mountains.

Shopping trips and indulgent spa days can also be arranged.

This holiday includes a 24 hour drinks package of local and some branded alcoholic drinks, soft and hot drinks. Snacks, ice-cream, and afternoon teas are also included.
