“In spite of all the intrigues of enemies - we are back in Turkey!!! ”
We miss our beloved Turkey! We thought about going to Istanbul in November, eating bagels with sesame seeds and walking around Sultanahmet.
But, ours made peace with the Turks, and opened the way for charters to the Antalya coast. Tellingly, as soon as charters were launched, the prices for tours went up by 10-15 thousand rubles. Your deeds are wonderful, the tourism industry....
So, our tour to the Alan Ksafira hotel for 10 days, for two - 67 t. Flight Royal Flight from Sheremetyevo. Almost on time, check-in at the airport in 2 hours. apple, salad, waffle and tea-coffee + juice-soda. Quite! In Antalya, they somehow waited for luggage for a long time, they decided to unload luggage from four flights on one tape.
It took a painfully long time to get to the hotel in Alanya - Turkler - 2.5 hours at a distance of 130 km on a small uncomfortable bus.

The hotel is large, new, nice and well made. A large lobby with beautiful chandeliers, during the day the sun plays in them, in the evening the lights are beautifully lit. They settled in instantly, the time was 14-30. The room was given on the 2nd floor, actually on the 5th. View of the pool, as booked. Room 37 m, with a large balcony, a comfortable bathroom with a large shower compartment. I don’t like baths in hotels, well I'm not sure that they are washed well and there is no desire to go to bed there.
One double bed, one single bed. + folding chair. There is a free safe in the closet, a large table with a minibar (filled once upon arrival (soda + mineral water + beer. )
The maid changed bed linen every day (why?! ) and towels, + 2 bottles of water. Each time I twisted new compositions of swans, not sparing extra towels.
The concept of ultra all inclusive does not justify itself. Drinks are a complete failure! Cocktails - sucks, yuppies and Turkish alcohol - sucks, white and red local wine, didn't drink. Airana - NO!! ! They don't make Turkish coffee, it's terrible. They drank water with lemon and tea. I took beer a couple of times on the beach, cold is not bad.
There is a lot of food, everything is fresh, but not always tasty, you have to look. Problems with fish, there are very few of them! No seafood at all! Vegetables and fruits are in abundance, there is a lot of chicken, meat is only in the form of cutlets. Lamb was not found. The widest range is a sweet table, but it’s not relevant to me. A variety of cakes and desserts, a large selection of Turkish sweets !!!
A large water park, there is also a bar and a snack, they bake gozleme, french fries, pasta, nuggets, meatballs and vegetables and fruits. Shawarma, baked potatoes with cheese are also by the pools. On the beach it is similar, but without potatoes, but at 15 o'clock they bake pancakes with chocolate and honey.
We visited a fish restaurant, didn’t like it, the dishes were served cold, the fish soup was delicious and the chocolate dessert was good.
There is also a tea house, they couldn’t make Turkish coffee for me, they poured instant coffee - I didn’t drink it.
Confectionery - good, there are pies and Turkish delight.
Beer bar - dropped in, but not tempted.
There are several pools, beautiful, enough sunbeds.
The hotel offered a promotion, so it was 100% full. There were two closed hotels nearby, one new Haidar Pasha hotel - it is closing, there are no tourists.

Hotel on 3 lines, 600 m to the sea. Every 15-20 min. minivan rides, 2 minutes to the sea. On foot - 7 minutes.
The beach is sand, the entrance to the sea is pebbles, quite large. I bought corals, there were no problems, although there were only a few in slippers, everyone went barefoot normally. About 5 meters from the shore, the water is cloudy from the sand, then the clear blue sea. A piece of the beach for the hotel is small, The sunbeds are close to each other, there are not enough places under the awnings. We occupied sun loungers without awnings, right next to the surf, there is a pleasant breeze and not so hot.
The weather is wonderful all the days, the sun does not burn, the temperature during the day is + 32-34, in the evening + 26. The water in the sea is + 26. They tanned strongly, without burns and overheating.
We bought a Pirate Yacht Walk on the beach. The yacht is huge, very pirate-like! On the way, we stopped for swimming 3 times, sailed caves with stalactites, a cave of Love with a passage through the mountain to the other side. Our pirates jumped into the sea, climbed the mountain and went out along the passage on the other side of the mountain and jumped into the water from a great height. Also there was a pirate performance of walking on masts and yards, it's mesmerizing!
At 11 o'clock we sailed to Alanya, walked around the city for 1.5 hours, went to a cafe, drank, finally, Turkish coffee, orange juice and pide with cheese ate. Delicious!
At 12-45 we were served lunch on the yacht. At 14 we sailed back. A children's disco was organized on the yacht, and then a foam disco for everyone.
I liked it very much, we returned to the hotel at 16-30. The price is $ 50 for two.
The hotel has a very professional animation team, I really liked the evening performances, every evening new performances with visiting groups of dancers and acrobats and magicians. We were not at the daytime animation, but we heard it all the time. In the evening, live singing in the lobby under the piano gathered a lot of spectators.

On the -2nd floor there is a hammam, a Turkish bath, a spa and towels are changed there daily.
The hotel has many different shops, a hairdresser. Wi-Fi is only in the lobby, it's free. There is a paid one, but it doesn't reach the rooms, it makes no sense to pay.
We went to the market near the hotel, where we bought tea, coffee, sweets and fruits to go home. The merchants greeted Russian tourists very friendly.
We liked the trip. The weather was great, the hotel is fresh and beautiful, the attitude of the Turks towards us is very good.
We had a return flight at 10 am. Late in the evening they sent an info from THAT that the departure from the hotel is at 4-00, that is, 6 hours in advance. No, we don’t need this. with a breeze delivered to the airport. Calculation on the spot - $ 60.
The departure was delayed for an hour. At the departure, the plane was larger, the seats were given to the first cabin, at Sheremetyevo the luggage was among the first.
The way to Turkey is free and pleasant! Checked - no mines!
Good luck and new travels!! !
