This year my sister and I rested in Turkey for the first time. The place of our rest for 7 days was the Yalikhan hotel in the village of Avsallar. Of course, there were many apprehensions and fears, as we were traveling together for the first time, and even to an unfamiliar country, but the impressions and memories remained very pleasant.
The hotel is located on the first line, only 20 meters from the sea. The windows of the hotel offer a beautiful view of the sea. The area near the hotel is also pleasing to the eye: a lot of greenery and flowers.
The beach is just the ultimate dream. I've only seen this in booklet pictures and commercials. Clean sand, from sun loungers to the sea, 7 meters of free space where you can lie, build castles and play ball. The entrance to the water is gradual, the water is clear and warm, you do not experience any discomfort from the temperature difference. On the beach, umbrellas, sunbeds and mattresses are all free. There is also a fresh water shower where you can immediately wash off the salt water. For those who wish, there is a room for playing table tennis, and on the beach there are 2 nets for playing volleyball.
The hotel itself is quite well maintained, the rooms are small but comfortable. The room has a dressing table, TV, chairs, mini-bar, plumbing in good condition. On the balcony there are 2 chairs and a table. Hot water was constantly. The air conditioner is central, but we did not experience any discomfort from it: it works at certain hours day and night, cools the room, the noise is insignificant.
We were also very pleased with the food. The food is varied, you can choose food for every taste. My sister, for example, has very different tastes. I don't eat pasta, rice, but I've never been hungry. Hot dishes change every day: for example, during the 7 days of our stay, they prepared cutlets, chops, fish, goulash, etc. interesting mixtures. Watermelons were served in unlimited quantities every day for lunch and dinner. Our hands usually didn’t reach the dessert, as we ate to satiety, but the dessert is also delicious (we tried it! ). We have seen children take several servings and eat them all at once.
The staff in some ways pleased, in some ways upset. It's just that everything depends on people, everywhere there are nasty people, but there are decent people. The room was cleaned every day, neat and clean, each time my sister's silk nightgown was laid very beautifully. The waiters in the restaurant are quite friendly, but I can’t say the same about everyone, some were treated with a degree of disdain. We really liked the slightly stooped waiter, who, regardless of whether you leave a tip or not, was always attentive and friendly. Bartender Ali is a mood man who plays a certain role. His task is to please the necessary and important customers, guests, and if you are not one of them, then you may encounter smiling rudeness. But in principle, this is not particularly annoying. Attentive towards customers and the manager of the Batu hotel. In the event of any force majeure circumstances, he tries to provide assistance to customers.
A 5-minute walk from the hotel is the village of Avsallar, where there are many shops and a bazaar. There is always a very lively trade here. In this village, we also purchased an excursion to Demre-Mira-Kekovo at Osman's office. I highly recommend everyone to take this tour. It is quite tiring, because in a day you drive about 800 km along a tough and terrible serpentine (stock up on pills for motion sickness, we survived just like that), but the impressions are fabulous. First, a yacht tour of the sunken city, and then swimming in the waters not far from it. Secondly, a visit to the ancient amphitheater and crypts. Thirdly, the church of St. Nicholas and the annex to his sarcophagus. It is simply impossible to describe the beauty of the nature of those places, it must be seen. And if you are lucky and the guide is Victoria, this is a double pleasure.
In a word, I liked everything very much, yes, there is no animation in the hotel, the rooms do not indulge in luxury, but everything else is just great! The hotel really deserves 4 stars. Have a good rest and good mood!
