Of the excursions, I really liked Demre-Mira-Kekova, an interesting excursion with a visit to the church of St. Nicholas, and completes its boat trips around the picturesque islands. And what you should not take from excursions is diving, there is nothing to see there, a waste of time.

Demre-Myra-Kekova is definitely worth a visit: the sunken city, the tombs, the amphitheater, the church of St. Nicholas. If you are going to Kemer, you should not take Pamukkale or Ephesus, it is very far away and if the trip is for a day, then 8 hours will be spent on the round trip. Didn't like the yacht tour yet. The whole day we went and swam. In Demre-Mira-Kekova there is also a yacht and swimming, only at the same time there is some kind of cultural program.

I knew that Demre-Mira-Kekov would be recommended to you, and they would dissuade you from Pamukkale. Personally, I remember much more from Pamukale's impressions, just an incredible feeling when you sit and look at this beauty. And as for Kekova, only the Turks can sell an excursion on which you have to look at the stones in the water, it was very cold on the yacht, but we were in May, maybe that’s why we weren’t very impressed. I have been to Turkey twice and I think that the first time I visited Demre-Mira-Kekova and Pamukkale, these are two excursions that are worth visiting, the second time we went only to a disco on a yacht (but this cannot be attributed to an excursion) another minus excursions In Pamukkale what they bring to all sorts of stupid shops, in general, my friend and I were already dreaming of a room, and then another shop, some carpets, then some figurines, then wine ... Although, I remember only the good, so Pammukale is all more impressive than Mira-Kekova (for me personally)

And I would advise you to visit Demere-Mira-Kekova and Pamukkale. Both excursions are very interesting, especially if you are lucky with the guide. On Demre we had a guide Ismail - just lovely. Sociable, intelligent, interesting talk. In general, from what he heard and saw, he captured the spirit. As for the excursion to Pamukkale, we were not lucky with the guide. But this, as it turned out, was also a plus, because. in Pamukkale we were left to our own devices for a few hours. We didn’t go to Cleopatra’s pool (I don’t advise you either), because. a small paddling pool full of people. Our company went to the travertines and had a great time there - we even swam in the springs (they are, however, small), although the guide told us that it was forbidden to swim in them. After that we went to the museum - it's very interesting there. Only the ticket is sold for lira (dollars and euros are not accepted). And then we climbed Hieropolis - unusually beautiful, ancient ruins, an amphitheater ....
When there were already people on the bus who swam in the pool (they, of course, did not get to the museum and Hieropolis), they said that they went to the pool in vain.
I also liked the excursion to Alanya and rafting.

I really liked Pamukkale, I also swam in the pool - it’s impressive. My husband and daughter went on jeeps (safari), also a lot of impressions. It’s really not very interesting on the boat, the water is salty, the shower is either missing or not working.

I will join the recommendations for Demre-Mira-Kekova ($50). An excellent trip, informative and beautiful, we were very lucky with the guide, the name is Illaria, she also takes tourists to Cappadocia ($ 150) (two-day trip, not needed for the first time). But if you are going to Alanya, then the road to Demre can be difficult. I really liked rafting ($ 40), I advise you not to go on a raft, but as a couple in a kayak. Kaif, emotions like a fountain. Amazing beauty all around. In Israel ($400) it is very interesting, but it is better to fly there from Egypt - it is cheaper. Pamukkale ($60) I personally did not like at all, neither the road nor the place itself. Therefore, I will not recommend it, although I admit that it is possible, I just personally was not lucky. Prices are from memory, there may be some slight changes.

it depends on the place where you will rest. if you from the area of Side or Belek trespass in Pamukkale in the 30 degree heat, I’m sure you won’t have pleasant impressions. Something from the previous respondent, the prices are too high (for sure, they took tours from hotel guides) and however, you can go anywhere, just don’t grab everything at once, it’s also not a vacation when you don’t get out of the bus

I will join the recommendations for Pamukkale, it is not known how many excursions will be lucky there, because Pamukkale will be closed for restoration someday, this is the 8th wonder of the world and it is already deteriorating, before 5 health hotels took water, and now 50 or more and how long Pamukkale will still last It's a question of time...
And I see this trip is evaluated by how lucky we are with the guide, we were lucky, the trip was taken from Teztour, the cost ($ 60) is from Alanya, the guide, a Turkish woman from Istanbul with blue eyes, was not bored along the way and organized the tour from beginning to end, of course we visited retail outlets, as if without it, it’s like a sponsor, but also with benefit, we bought bamboo towels, it’s just lovely, from the beginning of Pamukkale, we looked around, took pictures, swam, then swam in the Cleopatra pool,0 the first time no more than 30 minutes, then a break of 15 minutes and swim again, but you need to swim where the depth is 6 meters, the impression is like swimming in a glass of champagne, then there was a museum, an anfitheatre and so on, do not forget to draw water near the Cleopatra pool, it is mineral and healing, this has already been discussed in the program Malakhova + on the First, and there is definitely something, about 5 years of rejuvenation is a question, but there is an effect, my wife and I were satisfied

We went on excursions with Beldibi. I really liked the Demre-Mira-Kekova tour - relaxing on a yacht, swimming, a sunken city, visiting the church of St. Nicholas, amphitheatre. The tour is tireless. We had a wonderful time outside the hotel. Regarding Pamukkale - the road is hard, we are very tired. Is it worth going? If you don’t mind one day and for general development, then you can. A few more words about guides. Demre-Mira-Kekova was taken in a street travel agency - prices are two times lower than hotel prices. Pamukkale was taken through the Tez-tour. The most interesting thing is that the tour guide was terrible - tired, dissatisfied, gave a minimum of information, and on Demre it was exactly the opposite. So, everything depends on the guide.

I definitely recommend visiting Mount Pomukkale. An unforgettable sight, especially since there is less and less water there and it is not known whether there will be excursions later. I really liked visiting the house of the Mother of God, the Cleopatra pool and hot springs. Well, ancient Ephesus is a miracle. Touch the stones of the 1st century, see the library, I won’t go any further, it’s better to see once than hear 100 .... You shouldn’t lie on the seashore for the whole tour, see the sights of the country

And also a very interesting excursion to Cappadocia! But I’ll immediately warn you - it’s a VERY long ride, but it’s very interesting and beautiful outside the window. in one day to visit both the mountains and the desert .... this is an indelible impression! My wife and I went in August for two days. Departure early in the morning, travel all day. On the way, you stop at shops to eat and there is some interesting mosque along the way. On the road, it is not boring, as interesting landscapes outside the window and the guide does not let you get bored. But at the end of the path there is a wooden butt. You arrive at the place somewhere at 15.00 (I can be mistaken, I don’t remember exactly). Check into the hotel, have dinner. The hotel is an interesting one and it is very striking that it is cool. My wife even put on a blouse. Whoever wants, for a fee, goes to the Turkish night. The same is interesting. In the morning visit cave churches, heaps of sights. After lunch, lie down on the reverse course. On the way you visit a lake in the desert and a caravanserai. Dinner in the village in an old house.
Arrive at your hotel at 12 noon. We went with a teztur. Yes, it's expensive, but it's worth it. I have an opinion that it is better to go with a teztour. Yes, it's expensive, but it's better! We went on some excursions with street operators - the same is good, but somehow not so.

The feeling of excursions depends largely on the area where you live. If your body is close to Alanya, then it’s VERY FAR to go to Pamukal and Mira-Kekova-Demre, I personally, living 20 km from Alanya, took pity on myself and time, and didn’t go anywhere at all. FAR AND TIRED.
All excursions (certainly in decent street agencies, because in a hotel with tour operators it is almost 2 times more expensive for the same pleasure) I took, already living in Antalya, Kemer and Beldibi. I simply did not want to leave the sea for more than 1 day.
So where did you like it? I absolutely agree with the reviews about Pamukal and Demre-Mira-Kekova. You have to go for sure! And intermediate excursions are also good, especially the carpet factory. But, going to Pamukkale, DEFINITELY take plenty of water with you (stock up in a bottle in the evening!) A cup of tea in a restaurant where you will dine on an all-inclusive basis costs $ 1.5, drinks are NOT included in the menu.
Stock up on sandwiches in the evening, usually a lunch package (and you will request it at the reception the day before) is very scarce. You will have breakfast and dinner from your lunch package. Dinner is promised on the way back, but it is very SMALL!!! Take water and sandwiches in Mira too. Nina

Kekova and Pamukkale are the most worthwhile excursions, although they are really very tiring because of the long road. When we were in Turkey for the first time (with a 5-year-old child), we did not dare to go to Pamukal, but last year we still went and did not regret it, the sea of impressions !!! We "got" a wonderful guide, he did not let us get bored and suffer from the heat (it was 40 degrees), by the way, he told us that UNESCO was going to close this excursion, because. the terraces are turning yellow, so be quick... When you see this beauty, the heat and the hours on the bus will seem like little things in life.
Yachting - taak - a walk on the sea and that's it.
By the way, I also liked Karvansaray in Konakli (not far from Alanya), I have never seen SUCH a belly dance, 2 girls and a guy danced.

We went to Pamukkale. It's worth going there. Beauty is extraordinary. We were in Turkey at the beginning of May, and when we went on an excursion it rained all day and it was unusually cold. So I warmed up in the Cleopatra pool)))
They brought us to a carpet factory, I was impressed, although I am not a fan of this.
The tour was wonderful and even my 4-year-old daughter was interested.

The guide Tez Tura is a 40-year-old Turkish woman from Istanbul with blue eyes, about whom they wrote above - Merzike-khanum. Just a super guide and person! Great if someone is lucky enough to go with her to Pamukkale and not only: comfortable and interesting.

In this 2010, we just returned from Turkey - we didn’t take an excursion from Tez Tour and took it on the street (Ginza-Travel - it was recommended to us by our travel agency)! It cost half as much - $ 25 against 55 for a teztour !! - and everything was the same - and yachts and excursions and swimming and carmage ... so do not get fooled by hotel guides, but ask people a cat. already went from the street and they are very satisfied with them!)))

We took rafting - in the spring it is very good, if you are lucky with the instructor, demre-kekovo, be sure to go
(go) to the hammam on the first or second day of rest, we went on foot to the gounyuk canyon - it's super: walk along the canyon, watch the mountain river from a height, then rent wetsuits and go to the canyon itself to the waterfall - super - you won't regret it

I highly recommend Pamukalle. This is a completely different Turkey, not the one that everyone is used to. A one-day trip, of course, will not be very comfortable - to go far, you will see little. It is better to take two days. We went with Anekstur, the guides are erudite, they tell a lot and interestingly, well, they will show all sorts of interesting places that are not included in the route.

And we always compare prices and choose between a street hotel and our tour operator. As a rule, hotel prices are always overpriced. Here are just a tour of Demre-Mira-Kekovo plus Pamukkale for two days with a stop at a 5-star hotel with its own source was only with a hotel guide from Pegasus. They took it and didn’t regret it at all, because the road is shortening, and you don’t need to go twice in the same direction. In addition, we were at Pamukkale early in the morning and managed to do everything! For which special thanks to the organizers! I have been to many countries and Pamukkale made an indelible impression.

Hello. I want to write what it is not necessary to take excursions. Excursion to Phaselis. It's just wasted money and time. In Phaselis, you can only stop by on the road to look at a very small pile of stones and the remains of walls. Half an hour is enough! And spending half a day there on the so-called wild beach is just awful! The dirtiest beach is not intended for recreation at all. Rocky bottom and shore. It's not yarn! Garbage! Very sorry and disappointed. Lunch is terrible at the trout farm. Small fish and even a salad were not given to everyone. One for three people. The impression is terrible
