and we were there. at first it was compared with the 5-rks of Egypt, but then they found their pluses and no longer strained.
The great thing is that: its own beach, clear water in the sea... well, very clean, a lot of space everywhere, there is greenery, a free safe, free internet (the speed is normal, my MCH watched TV online).
My companion is addicted to beer, but yesterday, upon arrival in Kyiv, he didn’t even finish the bottle)))) he drank too much))). Beer is plentiful and everywhere. Like many other alcoholic drinks and just water. The hotel has bottled beer everywhere, which is very convenient and advantageous compared to many respectable 5-stars, because you can take a couple and put them in the refrigerator, and when you want to drink a glass of cigarette at night, just get it from the refrigerator (this is about my companion) . I really liked the sea. The entry into the water is gentle, but after 5 meters it is already deep. The beach is sandy. Entry into the water is pebbles, larger tracing paper (but not more than a chicken egg, this is not a muddy South Coast))), but at a depth it’s just coarse sand. The water is VERY salty, but also clean. Swimming is a pleasure. There are some fish in the water. They often bit my companion. It bit me once and didn't bother me anymore.

We went to Kemer. I recommend going there even because to feel the difference between the Kemerovo 5-rks and the 5-rks of Kemer))).
(In Kemer, on the beach, everything is just on their heads, but here... there may not be anyone within a radius of 3-5 meters).
In general, in Kemer, apart from shops and discos, there is nothing to catch.
Kemer in the central part looks like one continuous shopping center. 4-5 streets completely in shops on the first floor, where the entrance is directly from the street.
BUT! do not worry. The Turks are not very intrusive - just politely say that you will come later or just keep silent, and they will leave you behind with invitations to come in. And if you want to relax under the air conditioner and drink coffee and tea - feel free to come in))) - relax and also talk about life for free. There are many Russian speakers among the seller and, in general, from Ukrainian-Russian-Central Asia... in short, there are a lot of our Soviet ones there.
In general, there were no problems with Russian or English on the Antalya coast. understood everywhere.
On the first day, the territory seemed small, but after 3 tequila, it becomes so huge))).
There are many different corners (a quiet pool or a quiet beach, where you can sleep just like in a cradle under canopies, or a fun pool with animation and 3 slides). Slides, by the way, are much better made than in the Terminal in Brovary near Kiev))). Joints do not leave abrasions)))). Everyone will find a corner for themselves.
In general, I liked everything. Especially the sea)))). I think that everyone, just everyone will find something for themselves. And with children, and family, and those who are in honeymoon, and pensionEra. all. only those who are dissatisfied with life in general will be dissatisfied with life itself))).

By the way. about the service. it so happened that we tried to give a bribe at the reception to get us settled faster (we arrived at the hotel around eleven, and the settlement was only after 14:00). but they didn’t take a bribe, but offered 3 options to choose from. We stopped at the option "central building with sea views, large room, with an additional charge of $ 10 per day. " We paid extra and were infinitely happy that we had a cool number.
But on the very first evening I managed to break the shower faucet. They called the receptionist. After about 10 minutes, there was a plumber in the room, who, in addition to the mixer, conjured something else with the air conditioner for us, so that it would freeze more.
more about service. Everywhere VERY different people with attendants. someone is frankly rude, and someone is always smiling and friendly. because here it does not depend on the hotel, but on the person. for example, in a snack bar there was one bartender who always ran out of everything. because when we saw him at the counter, we just took something from the refrigerator or went to another bar. but with a sweet soul, we had a great chat with the bartender girl in the lobby bar.
and the grandfather who stands on ice cream during the day and near the fruit in the evening, he is generally the sweetest soul and always such a sincere smile that you just want to learn Turkish, just to chat with him)))
From advice. You don’t have to change money - you can actually pay EVERYWHERE in dollars or euros (even in a minibus and taxi).
There is an exchanger at the post office in Goynuk, but the post office itself is open until 17:00. You can also exchange at the reception desk, but the rate is completely unprofitable (lower than anywhere else). There is an almost round-the-clock exchanger in Kemer at the entrance to the shopping district.
Shopping can be done everywhere, but I would advise you to first ask the price in Goynuk (at the exit from the main entrance to the left of 300 meters there are shopping malls, they are a little cheaper than those in the center of Goynuk - 600-800 meters to the right of the hotel).
It so happened that we went around all the stores in Kemer and did not find a branded baseball cap with the inscription Turkey, but in Goynuk we found one for 10 dollars (bought for 7). It is clear that we do not forget to bargain))))

It has already been voiced - it is better to take excursions not in a hotel. It's cheaper for a hotel.
We went on quad bikes and on the cable car. I do not advise quadrics - as promised, they will not take you far to the mountains, you will cut more circles over stones. I just didn't like it. Monotonous and there is no that same "WOW. It was cool"
But the cable car - I recommend it VERY. Beautiful! Since you will have time at the summit for about an hour, you can take a snack and / or drink with you. For example, we took fruits and wine from the hotel and drank and ate everything at an altitude of 2365 meters! It was awesome!! ! and very nice views. Turkish lira comes in handy at the top - 1 lira can / should be thrown into a telescope in order to better see everything)))
I recommend a tour to the World for believers. They say a very holy place with the icon of St. Nicholas. Was not. They were afraid of the sultry heat that stood all the days.
They took their tours-excursions to Nikolai, which is at the first point of the shopping arcade in Goynuk, which is 300 meters to the left of the main entrance.
Have a nice holiday everyone!
