Good afternoon! Our vacation began on 08.08. 08. The travel agency immediately warned us that if they give you an “E” building, you just need to give 10-20 dollars at the reception to be placed in a more comfortable room and another block. It was not a surprise for us, we were mentally prepared and, of course, in the end, upon arrival, we were settled in the “E” building, room 822, together with another family from Kazan. This apartment 822 consists of two rooms, one shared kitchenette, shared toilet and shower. Unfortunately, there is no air conditioning and TV, there is one wardrobe from the 80s and a fan, which, on the contrary, creates warm air. As I understand it, this room was built for a large family (separate parents and children), especially since there were only one key and my neighbors and I were completely dependent on each other. At the reception we were told that by the evening they would give us another room, for these inconveniences we were offered to go to the bath for free or take a free safe until the end of the holiday. Since I am not a fan of the bath, we naturally agreed to the safe. Saving 10 dollars ; -) A trifle, but nice. The first night was not very good, almost a nightmare, heat, no air. After that, in the morning, from 7 am to 12 noon, united with 4 more neighbors, we sat at the reception desk and waited for normal rooms to be vacated in another block. Dali. Hooray! Building "B" 602 number. This is a fairytale. I want to say right away that for some reason no one gave money, but we decided not to give either. So we saved a second time. Despite the first night, the rest was just super. Yes, and these are such trifles, compared with a nuclear war. The first day upon arrival, it is always organizational, so do not pay attention and take it a little calmer and easier. After we were settled in the “B” building, the room was very different: air conditioning, two beds, TV, bedside tables. In general, a classic number, without any bells and whistles. Most importantly clean and comfortable. This is not my first time in Turkey, especially in this place (Kemer, Beldebi), so I treated everything calmly and even with a little bit of a homely atmosphere. In terms of food, classic Turkish food, it is still surprising how Russians do not know that they take a full plate and then leave it completely. Contempt. It’s easier to take already proven products: pasta, potatoes, vegetables, chicken with mushrooms, various stewed zucchini and eggplant, cauliflower and many different vegetables. After all, we have all this, but their specific salads are better not worth it, then it’s hard for the stomach and the whole body. Hot dishes were crushed by the cooks themselves, and everything else could be imposed by yourself. Drinks: All local drinks. You can drink cold beer, from morning to evening, in the evening - red wine, gin and tonic this year is not very good. But this, of course, is not for everyone, after 10 pm the bars were closed and we just stocked up on local beer Marmara 1 liter - $ 3 in a glass container. It looks very much like our Baltic - 2. Animations went on from 10 am to 6 pm: playing darts, waterball, dancing. In the evening, children's animations, then adults and at the end of the disco. Our disco was until 12 at night, but next to our hotel there was JEST CLUB and AURA, admission is free, and of course we all went there. True, drinks are very expensive there, beer - 7/8 dollars (EFES-0.5l). Many thanks to our animator: Aiko, a great guy, it feels like everyone is in love with him, from children to older women. Special thanks to him for Turkish music and hits that sounded at discos, now they are in our hearts and in our computers. The staff is very friendly, always smiling, as is customary in Turkey. The hotel room was cleaned every day. There are three swimming pools in the hotel zone, there are no complaints about them. They are spacious, very warm water, you can swim until dinner time, and if you want to swim at night, then no problem if you do it quietly. The beach is 100m. , you just need to cross the road (second coastline). If there is not enough sun lounger, then you can easily spread your towel and calmly lie down on the pebbles, no problem. The sea is clean, fish swim. The hotel is very botanical: lemons, oranges, tangerines, pomegranates, many different beautiful flowers grow. From the first day of our vacation, we immediately met guys from different cities. Organized their own "gang", with whom they did not part for a minute. Everywhere they participated in competitions, they swam together in the sea and in the pool. Dispersed at 5 am. Saved 3-4 hours. Always the state was just invigorating. All the same, a lot depends on the climate, water, sun and, of course, the company. I want to express my gratitude to all my relatives and friends whom we met in Belture: Tanya and Olezhka from Samara (newlyweds), Romka, Lenka, Marina and Sasha from Kurs, Ulyan and Galina from Ulnovsk, Katya and Lizka from Belarus. Hello. Write. See you!
