Лучший из турецких поездок The best of Turkish trips

Rested three of us with a child of 5 years and our friends - a married couple from Kyiv from 12 to 24 June 2009 in this hotel. We are very satisfied with the rest, we liked everything: the territory, service, food and a well-equipped beach. The weather was perfect for relaxing, hot but tolerable, sea 27 degrees. Upon check-in, we were offered room 6115. At first, the first digit of the number alerted us very much, because, according to tourists, there is an opinion that Russians are settled only in rooms starting with six and above and located on the second line. We decided to look at the room first. The road to our bungalow took only 3 minutes and passed through the bridge across the road. The room was located in a new building on the mountain and consisted of two rooms (adult and child), while we only paid for the standard with an extra bed. We liked everything and agreed to stay, especially since the view from our bungalow was very beautiful - to the port of Bodrum.
There are only a few Russians who have a rest in the hotel, probably, this is for the best, since the service is designed for Europeans. Lots of Belgians, English, French, Germans, Scots and Dutch. The audience is very decent, no one interferes with anyone.
The Aegean Sea is very clean and, in comparison with it, the Mediterranean loses to it in many ways. Every morning we came to the pier with bread and fed the fish. Each time more and more fish gathered. This game brought great pleasure to the child.

The hotel is conveniently located in relation to Bodrum. It only takes 15 minutes to walk along the embankment, and you are already there. There are many good souvenir shops in the city, shops with fashionable clothes, and especially with children's clothes - the "Wenice" brand.
Hotels in the form of Turkish delight, Turkish wine, delicacies are best purchased at a large supermarket near the station. Prices are much lower than in other stores, as locals shop there. There is a clothing market next to the supermarket, where you can also buy T-shirts, towels, etc. at low prices.
In the center of the city is the ancient fortress of St. Peter and Paul. Having bought an entrance ticket for 10 liras, you can walk around its territory all day. The fortress is large and contains a lot of ancient monuments, a very beautiful view opens from the upper tier. We enjoyed the self-guided tour very much.
From the tour operator, we went only on a sightseeing tour and really regretted it. Instead of getting to know the city, we were introduced to the shops with which the tour operator cooperates. Sorry for the wasted time.
My husband got acquainted with the underwater world of the Aegean Sea. He bought a diving trip for $65 from a hotel diver and was very pleased.
We were a family in Turkey for the third time. Before that, we rested in Kemer and Belek, but we liked Bodrum the most - a beautiful city, a chic hotel and a relaxing atmosphere in general left us with an excellent impression of the rest. Compared to the Antalya coast, the Aegean is many times better and the rest on it is of better quality.
Our next trip is planned to Kusadasi, but it's better not to guess.
