Reliable, but uninteresting.

In view of the news about stranded tourists, etc. We were very worried about how our vacation would go. In this regard, there are no complaints brought and taken away, the transfers are well organized, there are no overlaps, the guides meet and see off. However, there is no more sense from these guides. Their only task is to extract money from you for uninteresting excursions (We took a sightseeing tour of Alanya, we didn’t like it at all. It cost $ 80 for two. In the first half of the day - from 8:00 to 12:00 we were taken .... shopping They brought us to the ugly PontoMK clothing store, where we were simply rude. Then there was a salt cave next to "Cleopatra's Beach" - nothing interesting. Then there was a cable car - new, beautiful views, there are no complaints. We climbed the cable car to the ancient fort, most of the expositions of which were closed. We were late to the mosque (the oldest, etc.) due to a trip to the fucking shops. Next was the "Ottoman House" nothing interesting.

In Fort, we were left to our own devices. The guide told us nothing interesting, or rather, he didn’t tell anything, he just said, walk wherever you want, we’ll meet in an hour at the cable car ... There’s nowhere to walk there. There are a couple of points for good landscape photos. Then we went to the "restaurant" on the mountain river. Nothing interesting or tasty. Next, a walk on a yacht stylized as a pirate ship. This could improve the situation, but the greed of the tour operator did not allow .... Several tour groups of 50 people were assembled on the ship - about 300-350 in total. There was a crush, and someone had to spend the whole trip standing up, because there were simply not enough seats. I personally didn’t manage to swim, because it’s unrealistic to stand in line of 350 people. Summary: Reliable, but uninteresting. Here you yourself will have to think and choose and in no case follow the lead of the guides, their task is to make money on you.

P/S: more experienced tourists chose a foam party on a yacht and they liked it, but it was not officially offered to us.
