Alanya forever in my heart…….
I want to write my story about a wonderful holiday in Turkey. I really liked everything and I want everyone who reads this article to understand that they can get into the same fairy tale that I visited! But I'll start in order!
Arrival at the airport

We arrived in Turkey on August 13.2008 at the airport of Antalya. I immediately liked the airport very much, the only thing I did not expect was that it would be so hot, the temperature outside reached +50 !!! ! But this did not at all overshadow my first (it should be noted that it was very good) impression of Turkey. After all, we flew there by sea, i. e. relax, not go and complain about life! After buying a visa ($20) and passing through passport control (it all took no more than 30 minutes), we left the airport building to find a representative of the host company, I was amazed at the beauty that I saw. It was really a fairy tale - palm trees, cacti and all this is next to me and I am right here, right in Turkey!! ! We were hosted by Coral Travel (Odeon Tours). We went to the company desk, the girl immediately told us which bus we should go to so that we (arrived) were taken to the hotels. On the way to the hotel, the representative of the firm gave us brief information about the country where we are now. What can be done and what is not desirable. And so we drive up to our hotel - ALARA KUM 5 * (4 *) 23 km from Alanya. To be honest, I didn’t like the hotel at first sight, and I also made a mistake before flying, read the reviews of tourists about the hotel, and even began to regret that I had bought a tour to this place! Dear tourists, why write something that doesn't really exist? After all, the hotel is really very good !!!!!
Hotel and our holiday
The hotel is very good and the staff are all very helpful, polite and never let the tourist get bored. Animation in the hotel for 10+++++. But I will write everything in order! Are you tired of reading yet? I will try not to torment you with stories about my love for Turkey, the hotel, the sea, the beach... I will write how I will do it, I don’t know, but I will try the most important and useful for those who go on vacation, and not swear with everyone starting from the airport the country you are flying from.
It means like this:
We arrived at the hotel, at the reception they gave us a couple of questionnaires to fill out. It all also went pretty quickly and now we are in our room - it was a good (standard) room. The room had: a TV (there were 2 Russian-language channels), 2 beds, a sofa, a dressing table, a hair dryer (it was very important for me, because I left mine at home) and we also had a chic balcony. In general, I really liked the number! We immediately, without sorting things out, went to look at the beach and the sea - it was a gorgeous sea (+ 29) !!!! ! the beach had sand (very, very hot) and sun loungers. By the way, there were enough sun loungers for everyone, otherwise in the reviews I had read this about the beach !!!!!!! ! We looked and immediately ran to the hotel for swimsuits and after 15 minutes we were lying on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and bald…… yes, and then I realized that I fell in love with Turkey…. .
Food: buffet from 7.30 to 01.00. Isn't there enough time to eat? So I don’t even want to write that we went there angry and hungry. There were a lot of dishes, all very tasty, but really, very salty and peppery. But is it fun to try? Many thanks to the waiters and chefs, you guys are just great!!!! ! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Animation in the hotel is a separate item in my story!!! ! Our animator was Zeki. This is a man who gave 1000%!!!! ! Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! he speaks Russian, so there were no problems in understanding !!!!!!!!! ! Near a stone's throw from the hotel - a disco. Who wants to dance, please. The music there is also very good. After all, you came to rest, why find cons that simply do not exist ! ! But most of all I was struck by the Fakir Show !!! ! It was hosted by Zeki, but for the sake of this show, it is worth going to Turkey and the Alara Kum hotel!!!!!!!!! ! Truth!!!!! ! you simply will not remain indifferent !!!!!!!!! ! It's fantastically beautiful! I have no words, only emotions! For the kids, there is also a mini disco on the territory of the hotel, the guys really liked it. Lots of different performances. In general, I advise you to go to this hotel, you will not regret that you have chosen it!!!!!!!!!
But!!!! ! What else I want to write: the hotel has a hotel guide Elnur - a very cunning and impudent type. This is the only person who is trying to evade doing his job. He does not tell the whole truth about excursions, so do not be shy, ask him about everything (what is the water temperature, what is the weather in Kekovo). This is one thing that I didn't like. Just my advice, don't believe everything he says!!!!!!!!!!!!
But this did not upset my vacation at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Everything was wonderful!!!!!!! ! So next year I plan to go to this hotel and only to Turkey !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I will write a little history of Alanya, so that you have not only an idea about the hotel, which I liked very much, but also about the city with which it is located next !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Deal? I think you will also be interested in reading! And at the end of my story, I will write a small dictionary of Turkish words that will be useful to you for general development!!!! ! I think the Turks will also like that you will know at least some words from their language. Here we go?
Alanya
This wonderful maritime city is located on the so-called "turquoise coast" in southern Turkey. It grows on a high promontory of reddish soil and is known for its two large sandy beaches and promenades filled with hotels, cafes and restaurants.
They say that Queen Cleopatra loved to wander here on the fine sand and swim for a long time in the blue sea, so the Roman Anthony gave her this province.

Alanya is the perfect city for a vacation: it is comfortable, nice, full of gardens, its streets and boulevards lie in the shade of trees; in addition, the climate here is excellent even in winter. The people here are cordial and hospitable: on the streets, children and women serve meaty fragrant citrons and sweet bananas. By the way, Alanya is one of the most important Turkish centers for growing fruits: its land is rich in lush vegetation, orchards, citrus plantations, banana groves with high, up to 20 m, Aleppo pines and Lebanese cedars.
The cuisine of Alanya is very tasty, here you should try "grilled mutton chops" with vegetable goulash, not to mention the freshest fish fried on coals.
In ancient times, founded by the Hellenes, Alanya was called Korakision: then smugglers and pirates settled here for a long time.
Alania, like the whole of Turkey, knew different civilizations, but here the influence of the Turks - the Seljuks, nomadic Asian peoples, who retained their ancient traditions, culture and customs, prevailed !!!!!
Here she is, Alanya !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To you, dear tourists!!!!!
I was in Turkey for the first time. I came home delighted with this country, where, in fact, everything is very beautiful and good!!! ! I wish you a pleasant stay, more positive emotions and that Turkey wins your heart, as well as mine !!!!!!!!!
Have a nice holiday!!!! ! I hope you listen to my review and go to Alara Kum Hotel. It's really great there! And young people have something to do, but I liked it there, and I had a lot of fun and good there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
