    〝Usual excellent service from Golf Escapes〞

    Usual excellent service from Golf Escapes in arranging our trip to Belek. Golf courses at Sueno and Cullinan were excellent. We have been to Belek for over 10 years at the the end of May / early June but the weather this year was exceptionally hot touching 40c! However we don't hold GE responsible for this!!
