Gift voucher from Bauer
It is pleasant to receive gifts, and it is doubly pleasant when an unexpected trip serves as a gift. I bought dishes from the Bauer company and received a ticket to Turkey as a gift.
The flight was from Krasnodar at half past two. Arrived in Kemer, then transfer by bus to Larissa Art Beach 5* hotel. After we were placed in the rooms, there was a welcome cocktail. They told how and where we will spend the next week. There were no events on the first day, I enjoyed the change of scenery and the territory of the hotel. It stands by the sea in a spacious garden. I was pleased that in addition to the main building, there are separate bungalow houses on the territory.
The next day we were given a sightseeing tour of the city of Antalya. It was educational. It turned out that Antalya is called the capital of the Turkish Riviera. The symbol of Antalya is the Yivli minaret. This is a high tower at the mosque, it can be seen from anywhere in the city. Yivli Mosque is the oldest mosque in Antalya. After we were taken to the lower Duden waterfall. This is the name of the river that flows in Antalya. The organizers devoted the rest of the day to shopping. We visited a jewelry center, a leather and fur factory. At five o'clock we returned to the hotel and rested.
The third day began with an excursion to the city of Manavgat on the river of the same name. The city is almost 700 years old and its main attraction is the Manavgat waterfall. Also in the city is a huge Kulie mosque, with four minarets 60 meters high. After us, they rode on a ship along the Manavgat River to the sea. We were brought to spend the night in Larissa Stone Palace 5 * in the town of Cholakly.
On the fourth day we went to the homeland of St. Nicholas in the city of Demre. We were shown the church named after the saint, and then they arranged a yacht tour by sea - they saw the sunken city of Kekova and the Simena Peninsula, which went under water 3000 years ago. In the evening we arrived in the city of Dalaman.
The next day there was an excursion to Dalyan - a resort on the Aegean Sea. It is called Turkish Venice. The city stands at the mouth of the river, so the main means of transportation are small boats. The city has many mud baths, hot springs, and simply beautiful natural landscapes. After we were shown the ancient rock tombs. And then we sailed straight to the Aegean Sea to the turtle beach Iztuzu. We spent the night again in Dalaman.
On the sixth day we were taken to the pearl of Turkey - Pamukkale. We visited the ancient city of Hierapolis and saw the largest necropolis in Asia Minor. We also saw the ancient theatre. The most beautiful thing I have seen in my life is the cascading white terraces, Pamukkale. They are amazing!
After spending the night in Pamukkale on the seventh day we returned to Antalya. On the way we were taken to a carpet factory. The rest of the day was spent at the hotel.
The last day after breakfast, the return journey began. The bus is the plane-hometown. It was a wonderful trip, I saw so much.
