Bridge at the Raga Side, Turkey

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

Overview

At the start of your Bridge holiday you’ll be invited to join our Bridge 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 Bridge Director. Your duplicate Bridge will be available every evening between 7.45pm and 11.15pm and we endeavour to vary these evening sessions, balancing between teams and pairs. Bridge will also be offered some afternoons between 2.30pm and 4.45pm. These sessions are normally given over to open pairs/teams. 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 and the opportunity for you to explore the surrounding area.

There will be a wide range of optional excursions available to book at our welcome meeting. Visit historic Antalya, the capital of this region, stopping to view the impressive Duden Waterfall. Take a trip to Alanya where you can enjoy a panoramic view from the castle across the red tiled ottoman villas and wide beaches. Barter your way through Manavgat market , shop to you drop in the modern shopping malls, or indulge yourself in a Turkish Spa and hamam. A guided tour to Aspendos and its incredible Amphitheatre and archaeological site is a must see if you have an interest in Roman history.

Includes 24 drinks package including local and some branded alcoholic drinks, soft and hot drinks. Snacks, ice-cream, and afternoon teas also included.
