Наш отдых Our holiday

We rested from October 1 to October 10.2013, two adults and a child of 8 years old, the plans were strictly a beach holiday without excursions and other fun.
We flew out of Domodedovo early in the morning, we were at the hotel by 11.00. We read different reviews, got ready that they would not immediately populate, we were going not to waste time, but to change clothes and go to the beach. But our group was settled at 11.50!! ! (Checkout time 14.00). We didn't understand what happened at all.
Family number as ordered. They entered - the smell was somehow unpleasant and dirty (sand on the floor, dust on the tables). I splashed everything with cologne, opened the balcony, quickly changed clothes and for dinner, then to the beach.

Lunch starts at 12:30. There are a lot of people even in October, you need to look for tables if you don’t come by time. From vegetables: chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, everything was fresh throughout the whole time. Salads with mayonnaise and other dressings were not taken, on the basis that the leftovers from the previous table could be mixed. From hot dishes, mainly minced meat in various configurations and chicken legs, rice, stewed vegetables. Oh, and stewed fish (some little thing) with vegetables.
In principle, you can eat, but it's all day after day. Didn't like the sweet table. One can only say about him - CUTE. Apples were taken from Fruits (really tasty! ) tangerines - fresh, sour.
Dinner. It's also best not to be late. Everything is the same - to occupy the tables, to be in time for the distribution of dishes, otherwise you will be on duty in the crush, waiting for everything to be updated. Grilled trout was served once for dinner. In general, we preferred the grill in the evening.
As a result, no one was left hungry, but there was nothing to "gourmet" with.
Beach. Huge. Sun loungers could always be found free. The sand is clean. Cigarette butts, plastic, etc. (a little) - it was closer to the entrance to the beach, near the coast - everything is fine. The sea is clean, transparent, blue. The first two days it was stormy because of the rain, the rest of the time everything was fine. t 23-25 ​ ​ degrees. Air t 22-26.28 at night 10-13 (cold).
Air conditioners were not needed. (Thank God! ) For there is something like a cooling system, common, very antediluvian.
In the pools, the water is clean, odorless, cold.
The front desk was quick to help if needed.
The staff is smiling, mostly, but with laziness. They were in no hurry to clean the rooms, so we tried not to get dirty, the towels in the room were changed once, we used the beach towels. Constantly running around to demand cleaning, to educate them - that's not what they came for. With the Turks, as in Egypt, it is useless to knock with your fist, only to shake your nerves. They turn away at best. We take them with a quiet, needy starvation, it comes out cheaper.

Hamam. Ablution on a heated marble trestle bed. (We paid 70 dollars for two + the child was washed with foam for free. We bought it ourselves in the spa salon of the hotel, without the participation of a guide. You have to go down to the lower floor. ) Adults will be rubbed with a washcloth, foam. Then a face mask. The downside is that when you lie on a sunbed, with a mask on your face, you get cold, everything is wet, and the child runs around naked. It jerked a little. It is necessary to take dry towels, lay and cover. Then a massage. The massage was wonderful. After the massage, an aunt comes into the room and begins to stun for the whole course. Since we liked the massage, we decided to try the course.
(General. $40. Session 60 minutes. ) The course was taken for 5 days. The back was pulled, the legs were stretched, the sensations are pleasant. The boys work hard. Five to them! Girls just iron for $40.
Money is required immediately for the entire course.
Excursion "Pirate yacht". (Anyway, they decided. )
Bus 40 minutes to get. In Side they got on a yacht, left the river into the sea, children were entertained there, etc. The most nonsense began when they let the foam go (there is a foam party according to the plan), they smeared everything and everyone with it, they let a lot of children was not visible. + The children began to jump on the seats and throw foam overboard. The adults were not laughing, as if the children themselves were driven away from the sides, it was really scary. Many parents also had time to “fill up”, since alcoholic drinks are included for free. I had to look after other people's children. The most interesting thing is that there is really nowhere to wash after this foam on the ship. The face was somehow washed in the toilet and everyone was driven ashore to look for treasures. After half an hour of fuss, they were allowed to swim in the sea. In short, the child had a rash all over his body from this nasty foam.
A trip to the House of Leather and Fashion. (or something like that). On the ground floor of the hotel Ira offers. Fat lady with glasses. He will promise everything from the manufacturer, at wild discounts at the end of the season, and that they will bring us back and forth according to our desire at the same hour.
In the end - a complete divorce! They will take you to a local bazaar, to some kind of covered pavilion, with local horsemen. After we looked around for 10 minutes, the Turk accompanying us around the store (there are a lot of them on the heels of the buyers) began to gundet that he had no time to waste with us here, we should be interested in prices and measure everything and buy.

There is no comrade for the taste and color, but it sucks there, the latitude is multi-colored, and the prices are written for a thin women's jacket 1500 EURO. Laugh. And we have to bring down the price, bargain, supposedly it’s supposed to be like that, and they will give way to us, like, very well. Half. The game is like that. Maybe we would have believed it if we didn’t go to this very Turkey for goods in the distant 90s.
In general, the price of such a jacket is 200-300 dollars on a market day (if anyone decides to take it), a winter jacket with fur is 400-500 maximum! depending on the type of leather dressing. (And this is all expensive without any discounts. ) But I repeat - this is consumer goods! Sheepskin coats there too... You don’t even need to look at fur coats. Some of the enchanted tourists from other hotels bought something from them for an exorbitant price, they were presented with a bouquet, they poured tea, as if they were dear guests, they stroked their cheeks. And everything around ay-ne-ne, as in a gypsy camp.
And our Turk was furious that we did not take anything and left, and when asked when they would take us to the hotel, he said to wait. We waited 40 minutes and another guy from the store asked him to tell his drivers to take us. We got okay.
The rest of the holiday was spent by the sea. That's what they came for, actually.
