So, we rested in Turkey, Kemer from 09.07. 2017-17.07. 2017 at Tokay 3* hotel. We rested in Kemer for the first time and in C grade) I'll tell you, we were pleasantly surprised by the room. Nothing worse than the best 5! Very soft, snow-white linen, clean, good furniture, clean, beautiful shower room, there was liquid soap from the range of usual hygiene products. The room they really gave us is one of the best, it is extreme and a little larger than usual with beautiful windows to the floor. The hotel is actually very small, only about 30 rooms to check in. Definitely want to commend the staff. Firstly, upon arrival, we were met at the reception by a nice girl Nastya, Russian-speaking, which immediately pleased us. Asking where the sea is, she said I'll take you. Since we are not fans of rest after the road, having changed into the appropriate kind, we were in 5 minutes at the reception.
It was during the day and in the incredible heat she led us to the sea with funny stories about Kemer and where it is better to go and what to see... Very nice and thanks to Nastya for all the following days, for fulfilling all our requests. As for the staff in the kitchen and the bar, the guys all practically know Russian and try very hard to make everyone feel comfortable and good. Always smiling and talking. Even a strict owner always stopped for a couple of words. Of course, we went on an all-inclusive basis, but alas... Either this is only in triples, or they do not know at all what it is or pretend to be. With alcoholic drinks, local dry wine: white and red. You can still drink red, but you can’t drink white! Beer was not all days, then they say it is over, like wine... everyone drinks red, in the evening there is no red, only white. I got the impression that this is a specially economical option of this kind! The beer was simply diluted with water.
But in recent days it was delicious, they even poured from bottles, but one glass at a time. It was funny! We bought in the store, although very expensive! Well, now perhaps the most important disadvantage. Nutrition! Of course, we were not hungry, but sometimes there was not enough food for those guests who were late. Meat was not always available. Sometimes the staff gave out one chicken leg at a time, it's a pity to look at this spectacle. The fish was once for all the time, and at first they gave out one bony unpeeled fish, and then they brought another baked mackerel. The people obviously didn't have enough to eat. We ate more vegetables, but we really wanted meat. There was never meat! The chicken was twice: legs! A couple of times they served finely chopped wings with vegetables and we didn’t understand vegetables and bones or what kind of new dish this is in the wonderful, delicious Turkish cuisine... There were nuggets, but they are from soy. Of course, they won’t let you die, but the food is very poor. For breakfast there were always boiled eggs, sometimes jacket potatoes,

feta cheese, hard cheese, goat. There were 4 types of olives and olives, herbs, cucumbers, tomatoes. The baskets were very tasty and they had a lot of worthy jams and nutella, and of course delicious, fresh Turkish bread and buns, watermelon and melon! We really liked the costs, although they were always the same. For lunch there were either pasta or vegetable stew, rice, Turkish pilaf (this is rice cooked like with vermicelli), bulgur and once mashed potatoes. There were always very tasty grilled vegetables, Korean-style vegetables, especially their long sweet pepper and cabbage... several salads, eggplant caviar, greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon and melon. Well, about dinner. Everyone was looking forward to the meat and everyone is talking about it. There was chicken, fish, stew with minced meat once, mashed soups, salads, vegetables, beans were delicious. Sometimes they gave kadaif with walnuts and honey, watermelon and melon. But there was fanta, cola, sprite and drinks like yupi. Delicious Turkish tea and coffee from the machine.
Well, to be honest, everything was insanely delicious prepared from the products that the chef received. He went out several times in a snow-white chef's uniform for dinner and admired his armor. This was nice to watch. Many people came up, including us, and expressed their gratitude to him. He really tried very hard to make such a variety out of those meager products. Thanks to him for this, he even worried somehow that people really do not have enough meat dishes. On the second day of our stay, we met wonderful guys from Belarus and girls from Vinnitsa, a married couple from Drogobych. We spent a lot of time together and of course in the evenings. Since there is no entertainment at all in the hotel, we had a karaoke one of the evenings. It was an unforgettable fun, people from other hotels, Turks, foreigners began to come to us and everyone just stood and danced.
But the owner did not allow any more such evenings. We had a good date - 25 years of marriage, the staff set us combined tables with flowers at our request, the guys wanted to sing songs for us, but alas, they didn’t allow it, it was noisy. But all the people passed by and filmed real fun between many nations on cameras. On the last day of our vacation, 4 guys had a robbery in the room, they took the money basically, they were not in the safe, $ 150, the girl had $ 70, some valuables were taken away. The room was closed and as if nothing had been touched. In our room, the safe did not work at all for 4 days and the money was with us, there was gold and a camera of value, nothing was taken. And people just spoiled the rest on the first day of arrival. No one returned the money and no action was taken. Very unpleasant! They have no security at all, anyone can come in from the street without any problems. . .
In the evenings life in Kemer is very bright!

You can go to small cafes, restaurants, clubs. Everything comes alive at night. We often went to the embankment and danced in bars, restaurants, very good music, everyone was friendly and in general the mood was created by everything in the area. Then we swam in the night sea! The sea here is divine, warm and very clean. The transparency of the water surprised me every day, especially when the dawn was greeted. And the mountains that go straight into the sea seem to enchant you from the inside! The air is very clean, with delicate coniferous aromas. As for excursions! We found a travel agency near our hotel, very cheap prices. We took a full day trip along the beautiful coasts on the pirate ship "Monster". Price per person $12. I really liked it, they also fed me a good dinner, swam near the boat with beautiful landscapes, a foamy disco.
We didn't realize how quickly the time flew by!
In the city itself there are a couple of shops with fixed prices in lira, they bought very good things and at a ridiculous price. There is a food market on Mondays. I highly recommend to go! Not expensive and very tasty fruits! Didn't like the clothing market on Tuesdays! But in general, Kemer is very nice, it smells of Turkey, hospitality and good mood! I am very glad that our vacation took place in Kemer and at this particular time! We have good friends, unforgettable impressions, mountain beauties, caressing, warm sea, great new emotions and a little sadness about those joyful days in Kemer!
