Many thanks to Kemran, Shamil! You guys are great!!!
Our story will help those tourists who are going to fly to Turkey or some other country for the first time, as well as those who are looking for opportunities, not excuses.
So, it all started banally simple, we were looking for a tour package to some country with a snow-white beach, clear water, tropical forests, exotic animals, etc. In short, romance and nothing more.
We considered the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Bali, Vietnam, Goa, etc. , so when our travel agent called us and offered a last-minute tour to Turkey for 36.000 rubles, we were a little confused, after all, we planned to go abroad for the first time and did not like "like everyone else". Like: "Where was it? And in Turkey, everything is clear. So nothing interesting. Lokhushka (I thought to myself). "

After a little hesitation, we agreed to the agent to start filling out an application with the possibility of rolling back. There was no money at that time, and you need to pay no later than the next day. Everything worked out, friends borrowed money and we decided to go.
We walked for several days in an incomprehensible euphoria until we found out which hotel we were going to. We climbed into the Internet, read the reviews on this site and were horrified!! ! We called the travel agency, asked to change the hotel, replace the tourists, but all in vain, everywhere there are fines equal to 50% of the cost of the tour, so we decided to completely abandon the trip and not fly anywhere, so as not to spoil the mood for ourselves or others.
On the 26th, we wake up and look at each other, the time is 10.00, departure at 17.00, you need to be at the airport three hours in advance, that is, at 14.00, it will still take an hour and a half to get there, which means we have 2.5 to collect hours, if we do fly. Let's go!! ! We quickly collect clothes in a suitcase, it takes about 15 minutes, we order a taxi, morning toilet, no breakfast, an hour for manicure and depilation in a beauty salon on an emergency basis and out of line, late, we go to the airport.
Let's run for registration, passport control!! ! There are debts))) But they let us out))) Green corridor, duty free, flight delay, another hour on the runway in the cabin, takeoff, night, Antalya, landing!!!!
Finally, we are leaving the Turkish coast, the air is humid, the clothes immediately become wet, the temperature is under 30 Celsius at 11 am!!!
We go to Goynuk for an hour in a minibus, like our PAZik, but with air conditioning, a Russian-speaking Turkish guide, a boy of 23-25 ​ ​ years old, talks about Turkey, about places that you should visit to get to know his country. Outwardly similar to the hero of the movie "Slumdog Millionaire", who watched, he will understand.
Hotel!! ! He meets a Turkish administrator, speaks excellent Russian, much better than some Tula, Tambov, Mooskvich, Perm ("Real boys" on TNT everyone saw) and representatives of other cities, I'm not trying to offend anyone, just look at yourself from the outside.

Number!! ! Not wow, not a suite at the Sheraton or Hilton, but a standard for two with separate beds, with a shower, air conditioning, a balcony overlooking the pool, two plastic chairs and a table, a TV, a locker for clothes and shoes, even a safe! We have been in Moscow, and in St. Petersburg, and in Anapa, and in Adler, and in Sochi, and in Gelendzhik and other Russian settlements, where we had to stop for the night, there is something to compare with. And do not flood us, please, that we are fine!! ! Not everywhere and not always!
Spent the night!
Breakfast! Vegetables, boiled eggs, watermelon, bread, cheese, local sausage, no better, no worse than any Moscow, with the only difference that less salt, pepper and garlic were added to kill the smell of spoiled meat. Well, milk and cereal. In general, no one died of hunger in this hotel.
Dinner! We never had lunch, we didn’t even see what they cook there! I don't know if it's good or bad! It is so hot that sometimes you don’t want anything except water.
Dinner! As well as breakfast - everything is standard! Sometimes fish or chicken, plus almost the same set as in the morning.
Free bar!! ! Disco!! ! Local draft beer, white or red wine! It is possible to drink, but be careful, it turns sour due to the heat. Born to die from alcohol with a stool you will not hurt!
There is a pool!! ! The water is warm even at night! Good luck to those who are learning to swim or are afraid of the sea.
Sea!! ! You have to walk, but it's worth it! There are sunbeds there, 10 liras (170 rubles) and two sunbeds are yours, you don’t have to pay, there is always an alternative!
Entertainment!! ! For $ 1 on an air-conditioned bus in 15-20 minutes and you are in Kemer. There is also a beach, clubs, discos, Kemer Tower, shops, everything your heart desires.
Hamam first!!!
Then the sea!! !
Excursions! Yes, you definitely need to go somewhere!
Cleaning!!! ! Happens every morning! Wake up to this! Be sober! Get dressed! And stay in your room! Then you don't have to complain about the fact that the room is not cleaned. And become people, not pigs, may these animals forgive me for such a comparison, but they are forgiven, and you?!
Let me summarize.
Our dear tourists!

Those who are going to fly to rest in Turkey or some other country, just stay human. Behave yourself, sunbathe every day, swim in the sea, go on excursions, communicate with the local population, get acquainted with the culture and way of life. Stop drinking around the clock in a hotel and writing terrible reviews about how you had a bad time and blaming someone else for your life problems!
Yes! The hotel is not 4 *, as the tour operator sells it, let's leave it on his conscience. But I hope you are going to rest not in a hotel, but to get to know this world or just at least change the situation!
Good luck to everyone, friends! Don't be afraid of anything! Everything will be fine! The main thing is to believe in it!!!
