The Turkish Culture is very different from in England. One of the first things you will hear are the prayers across the resort at 5am and 5pm (they're not loud enough to wake you up, we were still out clubbing at that time - ahem). Turkey is predominantly a Muslim country, but they're very modern in their ways, and yes, in the Resort pretty much all the locals join in the drinking! It goes without saying though, PLEASE ensure that you respect the locals and their traditions.

It's also not unusual to see Turkish men or Turkish lads walking arm in arm, or kissing on the cheek. This is a sign of friendliness, much like a handshake in the UK. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are gay - many are married. In some bars they will wind you up, but just laugh it off. We did find in quite a few of the bars a few of the bar lads were bisexual. If you are a lad and get "hit on" by someone, politely decline and that will be then end of it. The most likely question you'll get asked is "Jiggy Jiggy". If that's your thing however, go for it!

On that note, also making the "OK" sign with your finger and thumb in Turkey is a no-no. Where as here it means "that's fine, ok" etc.... over there it means you're calling someone homosexual, in a derogatory fashion. So be careful. If you do it by accident though, most of the locals realise that you're English, and know what it means in the UK so it's not that much of an issue.
