I would appreciate feedback from any forum members who have  experience with or opnions about the "Lady of Russia" agency.

www.lady-of-russia.com/info.html

It appears to be a very reasonable and professional operation.  (Too good to be true?)

It describes itself as a family owned and operated business founded by a mature couple, 64 and 54 years old, Bob and Irina.

They have locations in FL, Costa Rica and St. Petersburg, Russia.

Thanking responders in advance.

Usually anything that involves you sending her money to make flight bookings (or anything else) should be treated with extreme caution, especially if you never met her before. Even if she intends to actually make the booking, she may also be looking for a free holiday. Personally I would always want to meet a girl for the first time on her own home turf, partly because it helps you get to know and undersrand her properly, in the context of the home environment that makes her what she is. If you have her home address and details and know them to be genuine, and if she seems to be on the level, maybe its worth considering. But a girl who is prepared to risk meeting someone for the first time, far from her home... lets just say she sounds "adventurous!"

Thanks for the information, we've decided to do just that and meet in Minsk. Are there a lot of dark haired girls in Belarus?  Are there statistically more in Ukraine.

My girl said she and her sister stayed a few times at the Grand Azur. It is one of the best in Marmaris.

Here is a Russian site with links of hotels, some of the hotel links have websites in English.

September is OK as it is still warm till end of October. For the first meeting a 3* should do.

Hotel booking were made online at

Note: make sure you visit her on her home turf very soon, one of our unwritten rules here is that the first visit is always on the ladies home turf. I haven't done it myself but my girl is always inviting me and i haven't got around to it yet. So before you jet off to Turkey be sure the lady is happy and willing to invite you to Vitebsk and not just looking for a freebie vacation.

My girlfriend and her friends usually go to Marmaris. I'll get the details from her and get back to you. I'm in the military so she usually meets me at the Incirlik base when I'm there. The town of Adana is about 7 miles from Incirlik and has some pretty good beaches there. The beaches of Marmaris are not too good, the ones of nearby Icmeler are better.

You can check out some info about Marmaris here

In Marmaris she usually stays at the gran Prestige hotel. Small, but quite comfortable. Here's a link to some more hotels in Marmaris and Icmeler.

I've met my girl from Minsk a few times in Turkey. This is normal as a lots of girls from Belarus go there in summer for beaches etc. Turkey is one of the few countries they can enter without a visa.

We haven't even met yet, but we are planning on meeting in minsk.  She is from ViteBsk and she doesn't want to meet there for unknown reasons.  Will meet for the first time when i come to belarus.  How long does it take to get a belarussian visa?    Is there a large amount of dark haired girls there or russia or the ukraine?  *i'm not a blond guy*
