Taxis are expensive of course, this is not Egypt for you ...
If you don't understand maps, I don't understand what to advise you ...
Depending on where you will rest and what excursions you are interested in. From Alanya you can get to the fortress without maps and so on)))

Can you tell me how, for example, to get to the fortress yourself? The hotel is called Rubi Izhekum. Thanks in advance
аватар Alexandr-
Hmm... Nice hotel. Take only the number in block A.
How to get from this village I will not say. In Alanya itself, you need to turn onto the road to Cleopatra Beach, and there it’s already somehow to the fortress, like a mountain road. I can't say for sure, we went by bus. Turn to Cleopatra next to Burger King) That's all I remember. In general, it is cheaper and better to take excursions in an agency. There are a lot of them - they will offer you themselves.

Taxis in Turkey are expensive due to the high cost of gasoline. Regular buses run normally. Be sure to take water on the road (based on my own experience).

Take excursions in street travel agencies, for the first time I think this is the best option. Without knowing the area, without knowing the maps, go somewhere ?! Moreover, as a rule, the same Turkish travel agencies are engaged in car rental.

Thanks for the advice, and also tell me please, is it safe to buy excursions on the street????
аватар Mesutik
we have a tour of 50-60 dollars alanya city tour. fortress, cave, lunch, and after dinner a yacht.

On the street, excursions are the same as those in the hotel, only three times cheaper, and the fact that the hotel guide will hang noodles on you, they say, insurance does not work, everything is bad, etc. DON'T FOLLOW!
аватар alex45
On the street there are normal tour agencies with licenses, good transport and cheaper than from a guide in a hotel. INSURANCE IS VALID IN ANY CASE.
аватар Alexandr-
Well, the insurance is valid - the one that you buy back in Russia along with the tour.
But under what conditions the excursion will take place is a question. Street agencies very often recruit international groups of tourists and how the guide will tell everything, in what language is a question.
And about good transport is not always true.
The only thing for sure is that it's cheaper than a hotel.
And then - everyone decides for himself ...

we drove a dolmus to alanya, I don’t remember the number, ask at the reception and they will tell you. drive 25-30min. to the center of Alanya
аватар kat2403
And they lived in block B, it's quieter there, with children it's calmer there.

I repeat, Alexander, street tours are not taken from the first Turk on the street, but look at the travel agency that has a license that specifies the Russian group (for example, Maxwell, Hansa, and there is more, this topic is periodically here, as spring comes, constantly pops up). After all, you don’t take a pig in a poke, find out what kind of transport or yacht, if a tour by sea.
аватар Alexandr-
Say healthy things. I still prefer to take in hotels near the thesis. Expensive. But not always right 2-3 times as some write. But - everything is already guaranteed to be ok. At least I never had any complaints. I can’t compare with the street ones - maybe everything is fine there, I speak for myself. And about some serious excursion, for example, a two-day trip to Cappadocia or Pamukkale, it’s not necessary to speak, it’s better to take it in a hotel.
аватар Mesutik
you are right Alexander
аватар alex45
And I prefer to take from Turkish companies and I'm not going to feed tour operators with extra money. If you are ready to do this, your right, and if you cannot compare, then your opinion is your opinion. But when I was on the same bus with people who took excursions at the hotel, and I was in the Maxwell street agency, and they looked at they saw me that they were fooled, then I wouldn’t say so confidently as you write. But ... your right. how to spend money
аватар bileg
We always buy excursions on the street, always in different places and always satisfied. Our children take excursions from a guide, while they believe that it’s easier (saving is not interested), and the toad will suffocate me to overpay for the same thing by 2-3 times. A car is also an option, but public transport is excellent in Turkey, and there is no need to worry that something will happen to a rented car, although the same children cannot do without renting a car and everything is fine too. Those. whatever you choose, all the options are worthy of attention, it’s worth nothing to be afraid. But I certainly don’t see the point in traveling around Turkey by taxi.
аватар alex45
And by the way, this also applies to multi-day excursions, so I have to say. You write so self-confidently without trying anything but excursions from TO.
аватар bileg
Alex45! I’ll tell you more that once on the bus from street agencies, all prices were different from $50 to $70, but here the ability to bargain, and therefore it’s not so insulting when the guide asked $180 for the same route
аватар Mesutik
who are you where for $180?
аватар Alexandr-
Do not stop writing about the fact that excursions in hotels are 3 times more expensive. Nonsense.
alex45!
I can hardly imagine that I will buy an excursion from the Tez tour at the hotel, the Tez Tour bus will come for us, and then the same bus will begin to collect all the "street" ...
I have never seen this - I always went on excursions with a tour. I don’t understand what you are talking about and how this can even be when the guide who accompanies tourists from the TOUR OPERATOR has lists of everyone who paid for the ticket.

previous post for Alexander.

Your company is interested in ensuring that your vacation goes smoothly and you get the maximum pleasure, so we do not recommend using the services of private dubious street offices that provide low-quality services. In most cases, such offices cannot guarantee complete security for you and your loved ones. In the best case, you will go on an excursion in buses without air conditioning with a guide who does not speak Russian well. At worst, you will be forgotten somewhere along the way and you will have to return to the hotel by taxi yourself. Unfortunately, there are more and more such cases from year to year. Therefore, before you go anywhere, talk to your hotel guide.

**.But when I was on the same bus with people who took tours at the hotel, and I was at the Maxwell Street Agency, and they looked at me and saw that they were screwing up**
Alex 45! Do you remember what kind of bus it was? How could he collect people both from hotels and from the street. And the guide was from which agency? Street or hotel?
Something strange...
аватар alex45
Don’t you know other operators besides Teztur? And here is Teztur, I don’t want to look for price lists of Turkish travel agencies and TO prices (no time), but which is definitely cheaper.
And how can you talk about prices, knowing only the prices of Teztour for excursions, you were not interested in other prices? But, again, I repeat, if you want to overpay, overpay, but why do you assure everyone that this is the best.
Haven't you heard about the combined buses when the bus is not full? Not a single company will drive a half-empty bus on a long-distance flight (gasoline in Turkey is expensive), and the guide has lists of people who paid for an excursion, and not a ticket from Teztour. And the Teztour representative office will gladly fill their bus from other companies, only to get extra money than to drive an empty bus. How they calculate is the third question. By agreement, next time they will supplement their bus. So they were not convinced, since the local travel agencies themselves did not try.

"In the best case, you will go on a tour in buses without air conditioning with a guide who does not speak Russian well."
Ospisya ... what a lie, and does not blush. As if naive bunnies gathered here, who are going to Turkey for the first time or have not seen anything but their operator.
We always take "on the street" - in Ginza or in Maxwell. Good buses, good guides, prices are much lower. Will the guide speak Russian - this is negotiated immediately, there are groups for Russian speakers, there are in other languages.
And there are really more egregious cases with tourists (as a friend from the Tez tour scares here) from year to year - namely, accidents with buses of TOUR OPERATORS! One Pegasus has done so much, those who wish can use the search.
аватар alex45
And nothing strange about guides. A guide can generally be hired from the outside and not be a paid employee of TO.
After all, hotel guides. who sell you vouchers in hotels and must answer questions from vacationers, do not carry excursions, they have their own work.
I don’t want to remember the bus, the bus is like a bus, new with air conditioning. From whom the guide was, I was not interested either, but when the neighbors asked how much I paid for the trip, their eyes widened. The tour went well, I had no complaints. I had the same option in Hurghada, we were loaded onto the bus from another firms. I don’t see anything shameful in this that firms cooperate.
аватар Alexandr-
Yes, I know other tour operators) I just always fly through mes. I also know about the prices of street agencies, it’s hard not to know about them, because they put their prices, it’s only 100 meters away from the hotel.)) I know about the prices, I know that they are cheaper. But other than that, I don't see any other benefits. You're right, I'd rather pay more...
But this is my choice, I do not impose it on anyone. I won’t say about other tour operators, maybe they allow themselves something, but how many times I went on excursions with a tezu, I have never seen anything like this. voucher.
All excursions are on certain days, people are recruited from many hotels. I don't think it's a problem for them to assemble a bus...
But essentially the argument is useless. There will always be those who want to save money and those who prefer reliability.

Regarding car rental, it is expensive in terms of gasoline. But cool! The roads are excellent, markings, signs - everything is for people. Go bust in a taxi.
аватар Alexandr-
I can give you an example from Italy. We and our friends flew out of Moscow with a difference of 3 days, to the same hotel, such as all inclusive. We took from the thesis, they from the ices. They laughed at us - because we had exactly the same ticket turned out to be 20,000 more expensive.
In the end, when we got there, everything became clear. Our friends had to pay every day for using the beach + all alcoholic drinks were paid, even local sparkling wine. It turned out that there is AL, but there is ALSOFT))) Well, it turned out only on the spot)))
That's the difference. The miser pays twice, something like this...
