the hotel is normal, nothing special, good food, the beach is good, especially in the morning when there are few people. no complaints about the hotel.
but to the tour operator - yes.
very expensive tours.
and very scary. they say that in Turkey everyone is wild, everyone will deceive you, cheat, poison you... and therefore it is advisable not to go outside the territory of the hotel, not to buy anything, not to talk to anyone, etc. etc. question: why did we come here at all, if it is so dangerous here? Of course, you can’t walk outside the hotel, because everything is much cheaper there! if you see the difference, they will run out of money.

My daughter and I signed up for a hammam (Turkish bath). paid $40. have gone. nothing. fine. and then went for a walk in the evening to the village. and right at the main entrance to the hotel I saw a travel agency. I took the prospectus for reading. and imagine my surprise when I saw that there is a hammam - 20 dollars. and we also wanted to go rafting, quad bikes and pamukkale.
it’s good that they didn’t sign up with the guide, even though she pressed us, they said that we would think about it. rafting guide - 60 dollars. and here (at the travel agency on the street) only 25, the guide's quadrics are 50, and here we went together for this money.
Pamukkale is absolutely terrible! in the hotel - 130 dollars. and here for one day only 35 dollars. Of course, you have to pay a little extra for entry, and dinner is not included, but this does not work out under a hundred dollars. but only 60. and a child under 6 years old at half price. and how well they scare. they say that these agencies do not have insurance, they will take you somewhere and leave you. you really think... but no! I asked for insurance and all sorts of documents. Everything was shown and explained to me. Russian is spoken very well here, a man and a girl from Ukraine, also Ira, married the director of this office. then we became friends with them so much, then every evening I went to them, drank tea. Ira still helps next to the store tour. sweets. she advised us, helped to bring gifts home, to pick up everyone. it’s good that she said that everything is more expensive at the factory, to which we should be brought on the way to the airport. I'm smart, I bought everything from her. ato when we stopped at this factory, my eyes went out of my head. a box of Turkish delight that we bought from her for $2. it cost a whopping 6! Can you imagine how we are bred!
so do not listen to the guide, they are very scary, and not bad at all. but they have a job. everyone wants to eat. and who will then buy from them if everyone knows that somewhere 3 times cheaper. but it's not for us. let the rich roar. And we don't want to pay that kind of money. I advise everyone to first go to the hammam (if possible on the first day), and definitely go rafting. it's a thrill.
