It started with a very early check-in. The time is 3 in the morning. I thought I would have to take a nap in the hall on the couches, because check-in is usually at 2pm, but luckily for me, the sweet, sweet Olya checked me in, but I live on the road, right away. Two more women flew with me from Kyiv and they were also accommodated immediately: ) At first, I was shown a room on the second floor, which upset me a lot - its windows were literally one and a half meters from the wall of the Santana hotel. It's good that I voiced my dissatisfaction and Olya showed me a wonderful room on the very last, 4th floor and I met the dawn in a room with a view of the sea and fell asleep : )
The first few days, I didn't go to breakfast - I overslept. For lunch and dinner, all the food was VERY VERY tasty, but the same - chicken giblets (livers, hearts, gizzards), stewed vegetables, pureed soup and green salads. I was upset that there were no olives and meat. "I'm not against baby food, but not twice a day for 10 days, " I thought. For the first few days, there was no fruit either, and I was downright depressed. I decided that this troika had the poorest food of all the troikas I visited.
Then the resting Kiev women told me that there are two types of olives for breakfast and delicious donuts are not every day : ) I started to gradually get into a rhythm and get up for breakfast. After a couple of days, the food became much better: they started giving meat, including grilling on live fire, like in fives: ) They also started giving watermelon. There were no sweets, except for donuts for tomorrow and not every day. It's good for me - I didn't gain weight. But those who are used to sweets will have to buy baklava in local shops on the embankment. I repeat: any dish (be it soup or stewed vegetables), and meat, of course, too - very tasty! The cook has a sweet smile and golden hands!


It says all, but there wasn't even local wine in the bar. In other villages, where I am white, the local wine was always both red and white. The fact that there was no vodka and strong spirits - remarkable - there were no loud drunken feasts. But a glass of light wine was not enough for dinner.
Beach. An interesting story: Santana's on this site says 300 meters, Sunshine's - 100 meters : ) Although they are located wall to wall. True - 300-400 meters. But it's still close and on a level road without inclines and steps. The steps are only in the hotel, but the owner Ferat showed me where there is an opportunity to build an elevator and said that in the future he even plans to build an elevator! With all my heart, I wish for the development of Sunshine Peace and its owner - attentive and intelligent. Elderly people and mothers with children will definitely find the elevator useful.
On the beach there are umbrellas and sunbeds attached to the hotel. This hotel does not wear bracelets - just tell the beach workers the name Sunshine Mir and they will show you the sunbeds.
Umbrellas are not very thick, and when the sun is hot, it is better to cover the umbrella with a cover on top to get a thick shadow. Not far from the beach is a supermarket where you can buy water and ice cream. You also pour water into your bottle cooled in the hotel.

The room: needs a cosmetic renovation of the walls, but the mattresses are new, the linen is new, the pillows are new and everything is snow-white. The disadvantage of the room is that the refrigerator does not work when you leave the room and take the card. This is very bad: it is necessary for this small refrigerator to remain switched on in order to keep water or purchased fruit there. I really asked the owner to give me a second card so that the refrigerator would work, but he remained adamant. During the night, the refrigerator, although small, cooled the water well. I didn't turn on the air conditioner for several days, I don't like them. But then the temperature rose and I started turning it on before going to bed. Works It cools. Although not, like an animal, not instantly. I asked the landlady if there was a fan, but alas, there was none. Hot water is always hot. Both at night and during the day. Liquid soap is poured into the container. Hard soap and shampoos are not provided. There are three towels: face, body, and feet. I changed my underwear every 2-3 days - I brought it to Ole and asked to change it. Olya is a very pleasant, attentive and diligent employee - she cleans the rooms.
There is a garden near the hotel - a green area. The restaurant has tables on the grass - who wants to be closer to nature.

I did not swim in the pool. The TV was not turned on.
Announced Darts (free), animation in Russian (free), live music (free), Turkish night (once a week), TV salon (free), table tennis FREE I did not watch at the hotel. I am especially glad that there is no live music. The hotel is quiet and well-rested from various noises, including music.

I will make a separate reservation about the travel agency on the street on the left, on the road to the sea. There is Ginza Travel - "Turkish Dima solves all problems" and Turkish Misha. Their prices are the cheapest, the Russian language is of the highest level, very pleasant, attentive, intelligent men. Many historical excursions - I advise you to visit them all! There is a night disco on the ship, there is a Turkish Maldives - sea disco on the island. But I didn't like it very much - there are several boats, many of them have a motor and you swim between them, breathing exhaust fumes : ( There's nowhere to go, and you have to listen to the signal from your yacht when we sail. But it's a beautiful area, of course. And for dinner you choose fish or chicken.
Of course, you should visit the tomb of St. Nicholas. You can buy candles and icons, attach them to the tomb and take them home.

An inert excursion to the ancient city of Olympus and Mount Chimera, where fire erupts from under the earth. The elderly and children will not climb the mountain - go high. Dinner in this excursion is in an interesting restaurant standing right on the mountain river. And around are not the usual cats waiting for morsels of food, but many ducks))

There are many shops on the embankment with wonderful Turkish terry products. At the end of the embankment in the direction of Antalya, there is beautiful handmade soap in a soap shop. It washes well and is inexpensive.

Be sure to go to the Wild beach. It is even marked on the Google map. It is very beautiful there and you can take pictures from above, and on the beach itself you can swim, see underwater caves, and jump off the rocks. The passage there is through a non-threatening hotel - a natural "air conditioner" that cools with a draft : ) The beach is small. Descent to it from the road on stone steps. It is not suitable for the elderly and those with a baby carriage. The beach is closed on three sides by mountains, and all those sitting on the beach have to breathe because of the smoke : (

The beach in Kemer is pebbly (foot massage), but there are generally large boulders in the water. This is dangerous - you can hit your finger. To enter the water, there are wooden platforms or sandbags lying in the water. You can swim at night when it's warm, but it's better in coral reefs.

There are faucets for washing feet, showers, changing rooms. But the last one smells like urine : ( I saw the toilet much further - in a beautiful city park along the embankment. Free.

I advise you to take vitamins and buy fresh oranges every day along the entire embankment in small shops. From local apricots.
Beldyby is the narrowest village of all the surrounding villages. Accordingly, mountains overgrown with pine forests are very close - within walking distance. The air saturated with red-hot pines and the incredible beauty of the rock is Beldybi.

In pharmacies, the prices are standardized and the same. Therefore, there is no need to look for cheaper places.

We were met by Peninsula Tours. There are no complaints about the guides, the transfer - everything is at the highest level. It is interesting that we did not look at the return transfer on the information board in the hotel, but by the quear code on the issued paper booklet. Excursions from them, of course, at incredibly high prices. As always, here are the hotel guides.

I highly recommend the village of Beldyby, the Sunshine Mir hotel, and Ginzu Tour with MICE and Smoke for recreation.
