General impression of Turkey. Fortunately, at the age of 25 I have already managed to visit many countries. I was in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, as well as Malta, Spain, Greece, Egypt, which, in particular, can be compared with Turkey in terms of recreation. For some reason, I thought that resting in Turkey was somehow primitive or something and... uninteresting. Oh how wrong I was! Turks, dear, forgive me for this!!! ! Turkey is a beautiful country, with a rich culture and historical heritage, kind and hardworking people, nature, with which not many countries can compete for superiority. If you are planning a vacation in Turkey, I beg you, do not sit in the hotel all the time, do not eat there like pigs on olyclusives, but raise your butts and run on excursions !! ! Fortunately, tour operators will offer you a huge selection of excursions for every taste, depending on your ability to spend both money and time on them.
General impression of the hotel. The staff is just wonderful, mostly young people, but at the same time everyone is competent in their field. The bartenders are lovely, everyone is very friendly, there are girls among them who beat cocktails no worse than the guys : ) Being a young and attractive girl, I have never encountered some kind of familiarity or familiarity, as they say. They all flirt with you, joke - yes, but no one has ever allowed himself something superfluous or inappropriate. A request to vacationers: be kinder and more polite, it is very sad to look at the rudeness that many allow themselves. The staff are not slaves, but people equal to you who make your stay comfortable. Going to the bar, say hello, smile, and, believe me, your cocktail will be even tastier : ) It's nice that drinks are served in glassware, in different glasses for different cocktails, everything is very beautiful: with all sorts of things, straws and umbrellas. If you ask for a drink to take with you (i. e. take it to the beach or to the pool), they pour it into a plastic glass, which, by the way, is absolutely normal, not shabby, they also come in different shapes and sizes, which is also good. I really liked the drinks: you can safely ask the bartender to choose a cocktail, for example, I often asked me to make some kind of cocktail with baileys, and each time they turned out different and tasty : ) Mojito is the most efficient cocktail : ) 10-15 glasses at once, in which mint, lemon were already cut, brown sugar was poured, and the guys only had to pour the orders of those who wished into them, so often such a drink could be obtained at the bar in three seconds) Beer - Turkish, on tap. I liked it, because it is clearly not diluted with water, it has a rich natural taste, icy, and in my opinion, it is generally tastier than many of our brands : ) Many men asked for pure strong drinks, poured Jim Beam, Absolut vodka, which generally amazed me. In Egypt, all local alcoholic drinks are of the same taste, and it is not clear whether it is whiskey or rum... the same tasteless badyaga. Turkish drinks are of a completely different level, and cocktails all taste different : ) Wine is also very personal. Both white and red are dry, but you can't call them sour, and when they are served to you in a large wine glass with ice. . . what could be nicer?: ) I give Turkish Coffee as a separate prize of my sympathies!! ! It is cooked specially for you, in Turkish, they ask in advance with or without sugar, and they serve it on a beautiful plate and in a special cup, with a small Turkish delight on a beautiful stick. Delicious!!!
Number. Our room was in a house on the third floor. You can also live in the main building, but I don’t see the point... Three-story houses, if you are with children, ask on the first floor, because. the stairs are pretty steep. If you want more intimacy - it's higher. It is worth noting that the rooms in different houses are of different categories, I don’t understand them much, so I won’t load you with junior suites and junior suites, and how they differ there... We had room 2318. Spacious, bright, European. Everything is very soulful. The beds are comfortable, the floor is not cold tiles, but either laminate or parquet board, the furniture is certainly not 2015, but it cannot be called old. The room was generally quite fresh in terms of furniture. A bunch of cabinets, drawers, shelves where you can put things. Everything is very comfortable and functional. I was also pleased with everything in the bathroom. Everywhere is clean. They give babies: shower gels, shampoos, conditioner, soap and hats. We also had bathrobes with slippers in our room, although as I understood this is not in all rooms. Cleaning: like everywhere else. . . Nothing special: the bed was beautifully made, the same towels were neatly folded, they pretended to be swept. . . and that's it. People! Purely not where they clean, but where they do not litter! We didn’t need to change towels every day and lay out the sheets with a butterfly, so we hung a “do not disturb” sign three times a week and didn’t bother at all))) At the same time, they put a bottle of 1.5 liters of water and a roll of paper under the door : ) More about the number, important! Many rooms do not have balconies (but not all! ). They are replaced by platforms at the entrance to your room, where there is a dryer for bathing suits, towels, a table, chairs. At first I was very upset by the news about the absence of a balcony, but then I realized that it was not needed there. This site is only yours, there is no one there, even if you sit naked there, no one will disturb you. This place completely replaces the balcony, where you can sit quietly in silence in the evening : )

Territory. Oooooh... This is generally a separate song !! ! Beauty. . . Birds are singing, cicadas are chirping, watering cans are splashing, tangerines are blooming on trees, a banana tree is spreading its large burdock leaves, a sea of ​ ​ flowers, Koshchei's rubber tree near the bar, small lizards (cute and touching! ) run across your path. There is a place to take a walk, "cheer up" dinner))) In short - an arboretum)))
Animation. Animation is the soul of Euphoria. Of course, every year the teams change, although some guys remain. This year we were pleased by Georgy Borisovich (Zhorik) : ) - a great man and his super-team of the same young, beautiful and talented)))) Music plays by the pool in the morning (when it's groovy, and when it's a lounge), it greatly enhances mood! The guys constantly offer various activities: volleyball, table tennis, archery, yoga, water aerobics and a lot of other things! A sea of ​ ​ all sorts of funny contests, water games. At the same time, if you do not want to participate, you will not be forced to be pulled there. In the evening - a program in the amphitheater, I really liked all the evenings - and the pirates, and the Congo show, and the gum evening....In the bar on the beach in the evening, an hour of live music (although there is a lady there... it would be better if she didn’t sing : ) ) from 12.30 - disco. In short, you won't be bored! Very cool animation for kids. Songs, dances, drawings, competitions, trips to the horse ranch, they just don't come up with anything. Every evening, kids are awarded certificates, birthdays are congratulated, and gifts are given. There are always a lot of kids hanging out together, this is an indicator: the children like it, the parents are calm))
Food. In truth, I am absolutely not picky, so it’s hard for me to criticize anything in this regard. They feed for slaughter, there is also a dietary table, there is also fatty junk tasty food : ) Lots of fruits and vegetables, greens. Cherry tomatoes are just delicious! Turks cook poultry very tasty, especially turkey. Service in the restaurant is good, even at the most "critical" hours. The waiters are very friendly, they always try to help you find a table, set you up and serve wine. Of course, sometimes he asked him to bring something, but he ran and forgot... But they have a lot of work, you need to take it easier. They didn’t give you a fork, come and take it yourself : ) We had a guy who always remembered who was drinking what and always setting the table immediately brought drinks, a very nice young man. When we thanked him and gave him 5 dollars, he was terribly embarrassed, and we were even surprised, I thought this was a common practice, but apparently they are not pampered there, although in vain, they really deserve gratitude. There are many a la carte restaurants - Mongolian, Turkish, Italian, fish, French and some others, I don’t remember anymore : ) I went to French with my mother on her DR, it is the most expensive - $ 25 per person. Everything was delicious, I tried the snails (tastes like fried mushrooms). Some restaurants are free, you just have to be not too lazy and sign up at the reception in the morning. Although I didn’t see many people in them, it’s somehow quiet there, apparently, people still love society and fun. On the beach you can take ice cream, usually there are two types that they change every day, they serve it in balls in a crispy waffle cup. Ice cream quality, obviously not cheap.
Beach. It's good everywhere in Euphoria. . . In the morning we were lying near the pool, right under the speakers. In the morning there is a lot of fun, and in the afternoon we went to the beach. Towels give out normal, a little old, but it's like everywhere else in practice. You can change wet to dry. Written once, although we changed more often. On the topic of the beach, we reached the biggest, in my opinion, minus, although in the first place it is our own fault. People constantly, according to Soviet habit, take sun loungers!! ! A nightmare. There are 10 people on the beach, and the sunbeds are all occupied with towels... When I was in Greece, there was a warning on every umbrella that you can’t take places, and that if no one appears within 30 minutes, they will simply be taken away. The same should be done in Euphoria, you can not indulge in such idiotic habits of ill-mannered people. On the beach - pebbles, from small to large. The stones get very hot, but wooden paths save you from this. There are always enough umbrellas, if not on the first line, then on the third or fourth for sure : ) The entry into the sea is beautiful. I read in someone's reviews about a disgusting stove in the sea, and so, you people have become very spoiled. Absolutely everything is ok!! ! You go into the sea - pebbles, after 1.5 meters in SOME places a white smooth, slightly slippery stone begins, but from this place you can already swim up to your waist and you can safely swim, if someone suffers from this at all. You can enter the sea from the pontoon. It’s 70 meters to the buoys. The buoys are great, there’s a rope between them, which is cool to hold on to or sit on it - the tan sticks very well : ) Tahtali or as it is also called Olympos, beauty!! ! I came out of the sea - salty, you have to go to the shower - just a stone's throw away, by the way, and there is also quite a bit to the toilet.

Probably it's time to finish my report, otherwise I'm completely sold out)))) To be honest, I liked everything very, very, very much again!! ! A wonderful hotel that more than justifies its price. From the tour operator I know that of course there are hotels there that are more pretentious and expensive, but many of them have disgusting staff and service. Everything is different here - people in Euphoria work with all their heart, and it is clear that everyone loves their work there, from the director and managers to smiling maids and waiters.
In short, Euphoria, be the same smart girl and wait for me next summer, I will definitely come again!! ! : )))
