Triana Hotel 3* - first time in Antalya
Let's start in order. 08/11/2018 - 08/19/2018. We arrived at 4 in the morning instead of 7 (the flight was postponed to earlier), at the reception the night porter Serdar speaks good English, said that check-in is from 12-00, and what to do from 4 am to 12? We were 3 people, asked to give a room to sleep, promising that we would pay extra for that night. The room was 502 on the 5th floor (actually the 6th). We went in - the stuffiness is terrible. The air conditioner worked, but it was set to a minimum of 25 degrees. Well, thank you for not spending the night at the reception. In the morning we got up for breakfast (7-30-10-00). Hearty breakfasts: boiled egg, bagels, some kind of potato rolls, 3 types of olives, 4 types of cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, ham, sausage, watermelon, melon 1 time was (delicious), cereal with various jams and jams + milk, water in a cooler, tea in bags, I don’t drink coffee - so I won’t say, portioned butter, processed cheese is also portioned. You won't be hungry until dinner. There is no electric kettle in the room (they took a small boiler to make tea and coffee + for lunch they took instant soups-porridges from the house, as well as dry sausage). Then they bought their sausage in the store - edible. In the morning we were told that the tour operator (Tez tour) paid us for this night and we do not need to pay anything extra - thank you! The hotel is purely urban, no frills, there is a pool. Near the old tram, a cat. goes to the beginning of the pebble city beach of Konyalti. To travel in transport, you need to buy an Antalуakart card, but not a one-time one (it cost 12 lira for 4 trips on the tram), and not be too lazy, go to the Do? u Garaj? Taksi (or ask the locals where this is sold) and buy a plastic one in the market for 5 liras and put 50 liras on it, the fare on the tram was 2.75, on the bus, I don’t remember. If you expect to travel a lot, then you need to put 100 lire. We spent about 180 lira for 3 people for 8 days.

The beach of Konyalti is beautiful, the sea is clear, an umbrella, a deck chair - 5 liras each, there is a lot of free space. The only thing is that banks do not work on Saturday and Sunday - so we changed money at the reception. It takes about 10 minutes to go down from the tram stop to the beach. It is very hot to go up at 13-14-00. There are air conditioners everywhere in transport. The tram runs every half an hour. That is, 8.8-30.9, 9-30, etc. And the same way back. There are a lot of locals on the beach on weekends, but everyone behaves decently, even children, no one yells at children and children do not squeal with nonsense (this is me compared to 5 and 4 with ALL inclusive, in which I was before). We returned to the hotel for dinner and ate in the room. You can have a bite to eat in a cafe on the beach - not expensive, but it was very hot from 13 to 18, so we preferred this time to sleep.

In the evening we went to the center - walked along Ishiklar street with a bunch of shops and shops. In fact, Antalya is a paradise for shoppers! The prices are adequate, by 20-00 we went to different cafes, had dinner, for three with beer and drinks it turned out 75 lira (about 330 UAH). The food is of high quality and delicious.
We went to Lara Beach once to get acquainted. Did not like. Municipal dirty, sandy, the sea is not as clean as on the pebble. To go by bus KL08 from the hotel about 35 minutes, but a lot of traffic lights and traffic jams! On the way back we stopped at the Terra Center - a huge mall - our Skymall or Dreamtown, almost the same brands and expensive. The only thing I like is their MAVI store - the quality is good + they ate their branded PIDE (dough boats with filling: cheese, minced meat, vegetables) on the top floor - very worthy.
In general, the Turks are very friendly, even without understanding Russian or English, they will always explain with their fingers where to go, go and where to get off. A screw in my sunglasses fell out and the glass fell out, we went to the Mark Antalya Mall to the optician, they did it in 5 minutes for free, they also gave me a napkin as a gift.
We ourselves went to the Tyunektepe Cable Car - the final stop KL08 on the opposite side of Lara - gorgeous views, the price is 15 lira, then we went to the beach there, also pebbly, we sat out the heat in the park in the shade of trees, where locals relax and have picnics .
The hotel has the most wonderful sociable Russian-speaking man Gunal at the reception + 90-535-791-39-05 here is his number, you can safely call and negotiate. Maybe it will come in handy for someone he knows - he suggested that we go to the ruins of the old city of Termessos in his car. Tourists are not taken there centrally, but I highly recommend a trip - an epic place! At first he didn’t want to take money, but we thanked him anyway. it is far away and he took us to all the ruins for about 4 hours - and told a lot of interesting things. Ask him for this tour - you won't regret it!
We also went to the upper Duden waterfall ourselves. from 11-00 there comes a lot of tourists. From Do? u Garaj? VC 56 bus goes there - it takes about 20 minutes, the bus is almost empty. The photos are unrealistically beautiful.
A friend drove us to the lower Dü den after 24-30, at which time it is illuminated - go towards Lara for about 10 minutes by car. Cool and mesmerizing!
We walked around the old town to the port, where you can ride a boat - we didn’t get our hands on it.
The hotel is categorically not recommended for people with children. far from the beaches and entertainment there is no + only breakfast, but the hotel itself is very decent, everything is clean, the staff is friendly, helpful, the room was cleaned at our request 2 times in 9 days - there was no more need. Left the cleaning lady 10 lire. Wi-fi is not very good, but you are not going there to sit on the Internet! You can buy a Turkish card, the price is from 70 to 120 lira already with the Internet (mobile shops do not work on Saturday and Sunday)
