Marmaris, Turkey, Sunday, February 24, 2013 [evening]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Portalocity hasn't just taken the Spring Breakers to the Turkish Riviera--it has taken them to the Turkish Riviera last June, where the water is warm, the beaches are full, and Marmaris, the first port of call, is bursting at the seams with holiday-goers. The temperature at sunset is a warm 80 (almost 27 for the Celcius-minded), and will drop down to the high 60s as night fell.

Once checked in and onboard your gulets, your captain and his three-person crew (including a personal chef who, naturally, specializes in Turkish cuisine) will offer you a welcome mocktail/cocktail and be happy to answer any question relating to your cruise. The night will be spent in Marmaris, a town with a normal population of 30,000 that balloons to 400,000 in the summer, giving you a chance to explore its vibrant nightlife.

Welcome to Spring Break, Fandom! Don't get too many embarrassing tattoos, all right?

The Sun Deck [2/24]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Located on the front of each gulet, the sun deck (http://www.seafarercruises.com/images/CruiseTypes/Gulet/Turkey/MarmarisFethiye/home1.jpg) is a perfect place to sunbathe or stargaze or just catch some air away from your roommate.

The Sun Deck - The Capricorn

There were complimentary drinks!

Sure, they were served in the dining room, but of course Atton had swiped one and then made his way to the sun deck, where he was now lounging around with his jacket off.

This was the life.

It didn't take long for Hanna to decide that the sun deck is where she wanted to be right now. The temperature was perfect as were the stars. She could really get used to this place.

Jaina hadn't realized until now how spoiled these trips had made her until she decided she was a little upset about the lack of a gym here. Maybe she could find one on the mainland? And with that thought, she decided that she was very grateful no one ever told her she worked too hard or needed to relax anymore.

So she was going to find a spot on the deck to check her datapad for what was going on at home, and no one could stop her. So there.

Dining Room and Saloon on the Main Deck [2/24]

All meals aboard ship (and your sunset drinks) are served in the dining room and saloon (http://www.seafarercruises.com/images/CruiseTypes/Gulet/Turkey/GocekMarmaris/vessel-home1.jpg) on the main deck of your gulet.

This is where your welcome briefing with your captain and crew is being held before you can go explore Marmaris!

Josh had forgotten how great school-sponsored trips were. He had a complimentary beer in his hand as he stared out at the water. Hopefully the kids in his charge weren't going to be too horrifying...

The Saloon Below Decks [2/24]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

In case it's raining or too cold to go outside, each gulet has an additional saloon (http://www.seafarercruises.com/images/CruiseTypes/Gulet/Turkey/GocekMarmaris/vessel-home2.jpg) below decks, perfect for chatting with friends, grabbing a drink, or reading a book.

ON SHORE [2/24]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Marmaris (http://www.marmaris.org/) is divided into two sections for nightlife.

Long Beach

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

This is the beachfront of Marmaris. With its beautiful design, beach, amazing restaurants, cafes, and dance bars, this is the area where most people spend most of their day, including their evenings until midnight. Here you can dine at fantastic restaurants. After dining, move on to some fun pubs or bars to continue your night. Karaoke bars, dance bars, and regular bars are all available here. It is a very friendly atmosphere where you will meet a lot of people from all around the world. Because of local regulations, music will stop at midnight here. Places to try include bars like Salt N Pepa, Captain’s Bar, VIP Bar, Turtle Bar (Karaoke), Miami Beach, Cheers and Talk of the Town (a drag show) and restaurants like O’Yes, Dost, Natalie’s Steak House, and Ayshe.

[OOC: Please label where you are in your thread title so people can find you!]

Bar Street

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Evening here starts usually after 10:00-11:00 pm and gets wild after 1:00 am. There are high quality, high class clubs and bars on this street, but the narrow street itself is like a walking club: the bars face the street and music fills your ears from the clubs. An average of 40,000 people visit Bar Street every night during the summer high season. Live music, rock, trance, pop, dance, R&B.: all kinds of music is yours. You choose. Usually people hop from bar to bar and club to club.

After 3:00 am things go even crazier when clubs start their foam parties! Try out SHOOTERS RnB Club, Sugar-Hut, The Beach Club, Galeon, Green House, Back Street, Crazy Daisy, B-52, Arena and many more! The music is off at 4:00 am on Bar Street, but if you still want to continue partying until 8 o'clock in the morning you can join an After-Party Boat and sail away partying. Just get back before our gulets leave in the morning, all right? And be careful getting yourself home--gangs of Turks have been known to prey on drunk expats on their way home from the clubs.

OOC

Welcome to Spring Break! Tomorrow we head to Ekincik!

And down here is also the place to tell us if you're switching ships! Each one can carry up to ten people, including the chaperones.

Boo. The double beds should link to this. Sorry about that.

While I welcome the guests, you just spelled my name completely wrong. It's like twice as long as it should be and certainly doesn't begin with an E.

I'm being really special and can't find the roomming assignments. Help?
