Первоначальный шок сменился приятными впечатлениями The initial shock was replaced by pleasant impressions

The hotel is located in the ancient part of the city - Kaleici, which is rightfully considered the symbol of Antalya. The first half hour of staying among the ruins and small brick houses, the windows of which were boarded up crosswise with boards, caused a shock. But later, walking along the narrow streets, among the mosques of the 14th and 16th centuries, the fortress, the clock tower and the ancient port, they felt the special flavor of Turkey and an indescribable feeling of delight. Only here, in the very heart of Turkey, you can meet old people in trousers and clogs, hear songs, wander around museum shops selling rare items. Near the old part of the city is the center with the main attractions - Palm Alley, Fountain Square, as well as the best shopping streets.
The hotel itself was built in the Turkish style, we can say that it is rare))), so lovers of luxury and glamor are clearly not here. The TV was behind the closet, and it was not possible to move it or the bed. At familiar rooms, both juniors and triples were better. For a week, towels were changed once, and then two out of six were taken away altogether. They didn't remove it!! ! Although the number was found open twice. They couldn't tip because they didn't meet with the cleaning lady, they left money on the table - I didn't take it. Hairdryer and safe are free. Satellite television, set up 9 Russian channels. The staff was polite, complimented, helped with things.
Didn't like the food. If breakfast could be varied, dinner during the week was the same (mushroom soup-puree from a bag, for the second - rice with tomato and fried potatoes, eggplant, chicken). The guide said that it is undesirable to carry food to the hotel, but we carried food, fruit and water in a beach bag without hindrance. In general, the hotel draws a good three stars. Breakfast is from 7 to 10, and if you are going on an excursion, you could ask to be collected with you. We flew off at half past seven, but we were fed.

They write that the hotel is for elderly Germans. We had only young people and almost all Russian speakers.
The nearest beach is paid - $ 6, but gorgeous (probably the best in all of Antalya)! It takes about 40 minutes to get to the free city (walk to the tram stop, then by tram, and walk along the serpentine to the beach). If you count the fare for two and rent an umbrella and sun lounger, then a dollar is cheaper than on a paid beach, and there is much less comfort.
Pointless sightseeing tour, which gives a travel agency. They take you to expensive shops, disgustingly feed you for your own 15 dollars, and the promised swimming in the waterfall is not limited to a 2-hour boat ride, but a long wait until all the tourists are gathered, and a 15-minute swim in the open sea. Tours in agencies around the city are cheaper to take, but only suitable for those who speak English well. Rafting, qvard-safari justify themselves for all 100 - the emotions and pleasures of the sea (the cost in the city is the same)!! ! The DEDEMAN water park is rather weak, there are many slides, but there are no extreme ones, although the territory is amazing, there are a lot of cool photos. The guide offers 50 dollars for the tour, it costs 25 dollars to ride the asmomu minibus and buy a ticket.
Tours of the ancient cities are good with guides.
In general, I liked it very much, but a week was not enough! Good things are never enough)))
