Tips for gathering in Kemer, Turkey
1 MASSAGE. By agreeing to a free 15-minute massage of the collar zone, be prepared for the fact that you will find widespread salt deposits.
2 TURKISH BATH (HAMAM). In the basic version, it costs 10-15 dollars, and with bells and whistles, already - 25-45 dollars. And then, relaxed with a general massage, you will also be offered a healing lymphatic drainage, for some miserable 60 dollars.
3 EXCURSIONS. Before signing up for excursions from a tour operator, study the offers of local travel agencies. Local travel agencies are quite trustworthy. They compete fiercely with each other and are forced to work with high quality. Excursions are properly booked; customers are picked up from hotels and returned to hotels. True, not a single voyage can do without unplanned purchases; if you do not have the required amount with you, you can pay the guide back to the hotel.
EXCURSION TO PAMMUKALE is an unprofitable event: it starts at five in the morning, the road is long, there is a lot of divorce along the way - it’s not clear what to spend out of boredom. There - an hour and a half wander through the calcite travertines, then you will escape from the heat in the "Cleopatra's pool" - a restaurant paddling pool full of bodies. 20 dollars for this bathing you will be charged even at the entrance to the object - in the bus. However, Pammukale will soon be closed for repairs.
ANTALYA - JERUSALEM. We went from TEZ-tour, although the price of the local agency was more attractive. Israel and autonomous Palestine will certainly be remembered! True
pilgrims run the risk of becoming disillusioned with ideals, because, in my opinion, those whom Christ drove out of the temple won. Small-scale speculation and the rustle of dollars are ubiquitous. The shirts sold on the bus are more expensive than those sold by the Jordan River.
Calvary crosses sold in a special shop are more expensive than similar ones sold in Jerusalem. The pomp of the guide will gradually be replaced by tired
the cynicism of a tourist conveyor worker.
FAZELIS. Yachting. Fun and cool! Just don't get burned while swimming.
JEEP SAFARI. Nice and inexpensive getaway from the beach on forest roads.
WORLD-KEKOVA. I also recommend. About the prices at the onyx processing factory
yours is the following: a balloon that I bought on the street for $ 2 at the factory cost five.
AQUARIUM in Antalya - it's worth spending money, just don't forget to recharge your camera equipment.
AQUALAND in Antalya - from two o'clock in the afternoon the prices in it are significantly lower.
And the Aquarium and Aqualand and the Migros supermarket, located nearby, you can
visit without the help of a travel agency, on your own. The fare on the bus Kemer - Antalya - five dollars one way.
STORE AND STORES. I didn't see any items at a bargain price. Souvenirs, of course, had to buy.
THE LANGUAGE OF COMMUNICATION. In Kemer, you don’t have to bother - the sellers (Meskhetian Turks) speak Russian quite well. In Antalya, knowledge of English is already required.
WATER. She has to be bought. In the market 5 liters - 2.5 lira.
DYSENTERY. Medicines brought in large quantities were not useful, although I do not think that the cooks thoroughly washed the greens. They ate unwashed dates and plums, ate sweets on the street and - nothing!
MOSQUITOES. No mosquitoes, almost no flies.
TAN. If you sunbathe during the day, you will also burn under an umbrella. You will peel off for a long time and ugly.
Come to the sea at seven o'clock in the morning - the most idyll! Burnt skin can pop-
help those selling panthenol in local markets (15 lire).
SECURITY. The atmosphere of evening festivities in Kemer seems to be safe.
Even if the Turks happen to fight each other, the visitors will not be touched - the food supply!
Drowning in the sea is quite real.
LUGGAGE. Film-wrapped suitcases can be mixed up. Make sure your luggage is easy to recognize.
BAKSHEESH. It seems to be necessary to give a tip, but somehow it is unusual and you don’t want to. The constant feeling that you didn’t give enough to someone. In Russia, in this regard, it is more convenient - in our country no one owes anything to anyone! Therefore, we go to rest in Turkey.
