Hello dear tourists, travel lovers and those who just want to relax abroad!

I would like to share with you my impressions of a week-long vacation in Turkey.
There is no need to talk about our capital airport "Borispol". I will say in one word - an anthill. Now about the airline-carrier. This is Dniproavia. Everything is fine, but one small negative “but”. Near the plane there is a black minibus with two bouncers in black glasses and in the same color clothes (guards), who completely forbid tourists to take pictures against the background of the plane. Meaning? Maybe a bad omen? The plane is a regular Boeing 737, official charter flight Z6 262.
Now about the interenem. Turkey.
Arrived, paid 30 bucks for a visa. Passed through customs. Fast and good. They left. Yes, I forgot to say, we are flying roulette with the TEZTOUR company. Serious company. Meet. They say the number of the bus, they also meet you near the bus. Everyone speaks Russian.

Our girls work there. Everything is fine. Nicely. The buses are luxurious Mercedes with air conditioning.
Upon arrival, we were immediately told that we were terribly lucky. Kemer, Tekirova district, Kaplan Paradise hotel.
The journey took approximately 2 hours. Taking into account the fact that we stopped by 3 or 4 more hotels. Unloaded tourists from our plane. Transportation to hotels. There's nothing to be done, nothing to say. But we looked at different hotels. On the way, a girl from a travel company, on the way, talked about the country, sights and excursions. This is all good and useful to know.
Now the hotel.
We arrived and filled out some paperwork. At the hotel we were met at the reception by a girl who speaks excellent Russian (obviously ours). She told me to wait 10 minutes. Waited for half an hour. Settled. Double room, normal. Climbed out of the way into the shower. BEGAN!!! ! Water leaks from the shower onto the floor. They told the administrator. She wrote it down, said she would send a plumber.
After the third attempt, he came, looked, went for silicone, came, anointed and left. The next morning the shower was leaking, so we left, and it remained to flow.
The area is VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! ! Lots of very greenery! And the air!!!!! ! The hotel is either in a pine or fir forest. Plus, there are mountains nearby!
The hotel is suitable for everyone. This is a plus for the hotel. People come here to relax with small children. Animators work with children all day long. Children's pool, 30 cm deep! , children's slides, in general, the children are busy to the fullest.
Every evening show. After the show there is a disco until 4-5 am. Every night something new. The youth were delighted. They even go there from other hotels, but for money. Ours is free of course.
The animation team is just another topic of conversation. Such a team of animators probably works only here! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Without them, our vacation would have turned into a "kirilovka" or "azure".
You probably won't see this anywhere.

Fiery, fakir, water, entertaining. And all this at a high professional level.

This is a photo of the head of the animation team. I would like to express my gratitude for all his titanic work.
Nutrition. The choice is huge. Pork, sorry no. But there is lamb, but very tasty cooked. And what soups are cooked !!! ! I will not say much, I will say one thing, everything is very tasty and fresh. Plus, my wife counted 10 kinds of fruit. The chef is constantly in the hall, monitors the food intake himself..
Beach. Located 450 meters from the hotel. Beach towels are issued at the exit from the hotel to the beach on the cards. But, to receive a card, you need to leave a deposit of 30 USD at the reception. e. A lot. The road to the beach on foot takes 5-7 minutes. See how fast. But to walk along the road where cars almost do not go and breathe the air without straining. Too lazy to go on foot, from 9 am to 18.00 rides Fordik hotel. He will take you both to the beach and back. Wait, if not, up to 5 minutes. We didn't wait any longer.
Truck. beautifully converted into a passenger taxi. And open, but with an awning on top. The driver will pick you up, you don't even need to wave your hands. Rides slowly and gently. Now about the beach. He reminded me of Azure. At the Russo Turisto Hotel. I think. That says a lot. Sometimes plastic stanachiki crunch underfoot, sometimes cigarette butts are visible. Although the urns ..... shaft. The beach is small pebbles, larger near the shore, and small stones in the water. But they are not sharp, you can walk barefoot. But carefully. The water in the sea is very clean and transparent. But oh so salty. You can’t dive with your eyes open, it bakes terribly. Only with glasses or a mask. Once after dinner, some algae brought, just a little.
There are enough beds for everyone. You don't have to take a seat in the morning. The beds are new with new mattresses. The path from the car to the sunbeds is lined with a wooden ladder. Now for the beach bar. There is no alcohol on the beach. Buns, and generally edible, also nothing of this.

Water, warm for dinner, tea, coffee, UPI drinks, which no one has been drinking for a long time.
Now for the very last one. Leaving the hotel, the room can be rented not in an hour, as the tour operator says, but 10 minutes before the bus. If everything is fine with you.
And the last. Upon arrival at the airport, who smokes, do not rush to go into it. When you pass passport control, you can smoke only after passing through passport control in Ukraine. And then, probably on the street. At Antalya Airport, there is NO smoking area!!!!! ! There are cameras everywhere, we almost ran into a smoke in the toilet in a cubicle. In front of the toilet hangs:

here is a poster on half the wall.
If you want problems, smoke. Although I'm a little surprised by this poster. It is not legally located in Turkey. It's like "neutral waters". You could send them and say that I don’t have a mind in Russian!!! ! And that's it. And in Turkish, I can’t understand at all! And in English too. Panymayu tilki in French. And in Chinese. But, it worked out.
That's what the trip was like. In general, the impressions are positive. Have a nice holiday!!!! !
