I'll start over.
Departure from Boryspil at 3.15. We arrived at 5.30. Met Pegasus guide. Showed the bus. Sat down. Go. We drove 30 minutes. We stopped near a roadside shop (stretch your legs, the guide explained). Who wants to go to the toilet, buy all sorts of rubbish and a toilet for free. 15 minutes of smoke break, in short. Another hour and a half of the way and a view of Marmaris opened up. Surprisingly, we were dropped off first (everyone else went further to Icmeler), and Marmaris Park is located between Icmeler and Marmaris, but closer to Icmeler. At about 8 am, having filled out a questionnaire, we were sent to breakfast (it is from 7.00 to 10.30), with the words: "Your room is ready. " They didn't give money. We had breakfast. The porter took the things and took them to the room, for which he earned 5 bucks (there was no smaller money).
Number.

Of course, not everything is so good here. The rooms are quite old. Plumbing dead. The double bed consisted of two singles pushed together, which kept moving apart. Antediluvian air conditioning with a wired remote control on the wall (I haven’t even seen such in the movies))). A small LCD TV on the camp (permanently fixed, does not turn). 3 Russian-speaking channels (First, Music Box, and some kind of religious). A table with a mirror, a couple of armchairs, a wardrobe. Balcony. Yes, by the way, the houses are in three rows (relative to the sea), all windows overlook the sea side.
We dismantled things, and slept until lunch, which is from 12.30 to 14.00. Came for lunch. At the same time, they took beach towels (deposit $ 10 each). They took the key to the safe (2 bucks a day). We returned to the room and found that the key did not fit. They called the master who gave the correct key. Wanted money, but left with thanks.
They went to the sea. Bathed and sunbathed.
Sea and beach.
The sea is clean. There are almost no waves. The beach strip is tiled, but very comfortable (I was pleasantly surprised). There are plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas (for all 12 days they have never been left without a sun lounger and at the same time they did not run to occupy them in the early morning).
Entrance to the sea from ladders that descend into the water. Sea urchins live on the plates that serve as the shore. This is the only thing you can see through a mask or goggles. There are few fish (3 species and all gray). I saw another yellow centipede on the seabed. The sea is deep, a couple of meters from the shore 3-5 meters. You can jump off the pier. At the end of the beach there is a slide that spits out vacationers right into the sea. A very cool thing. On the other side of the beach, water sports (bananas, boats, catamarans, parachute, etc. ) The swimming area is limited by buoys. And for your information, the sea is considered Mediterranean, not Aegean.
Nutrition.
All inclusive. Drinks are local. Efes-class beer! The wine is white and red - we did not like it. Vodka is not for everyone, but people took it. Raki (anise) is not bad enough. Jin is normal. Whiskey? I heard that this is brandy, not whiskey (I didn’t drink it myself, I won’t say how it tastes). We drank beer and gin and tonic. Water is in coolers. Yupi juices. Cola, sprite, fanta, soda.

Alcohol is not served at the beach bar. There is no gin or brandy in the main restaurant. Beach bar (from 10 am to 1 am) and bar above the amphitheater (from 7 pm to 1 am) - all drinks. Lots of stuff for an extra charge.
Food.
Not the first time in Turkey. I was in Egypt. All in fives.
I have never seen such a menu (tasty and varied). The range was constantly changing. We did not take a side dish, because there was plenty of meat and fish. Dishes began to repeat on the eleventh day. All in all, we couldn't be happier with the food.
Animators.
They were, but not intrusive.
Show kids-daily.
Sometimes evening entertainment programs.
Disco near the pool, almost every day.
For 5 bucks, the animators were taken to a disco in Marmaris.
Excursions.
Bought from Pegasus.
Pamukkale is beautiful. But the impression was spoiled by the fact that in the load to Pamukala there was a visit to 3 stores. And a wild lunch in some restaurant with breakfast in a roadside cafe (especially after tasty treats in the hotel restaurant))))
Boat on the islands of the Aegean Sea. Nice, but not particularly impressive.
Shopping with a free transfer is a pure divorce! What auction furs? What are the 30% discounts? There are such prices that in your native Kyiv, you can buy 2-3 times cheaper !! ! No conscience!!!
Alone and Marmaris.
2.5 lira and 15 minutes by minibus and you are in Marmaris. Drive to the Fortress (entrance 5 lira). Excursion. And go back along Barov Street towards the hotel. A bunch of shops. Trade everywhere!
There is a supermarket MMM Migros. They bought normally there. Olive oil, pine honey, sweets (cheaper than in dutik)....
Sami to Icmeler. We left the hotel and went, but not along the embankment (it connects Marmaris with Icmeler), but along the central road. Didn't arrive. But we went to a local cafe for the Turks (except for us there were no more tourists)... Very good hookah and Turkish tea.
Territory.
Big for this region. Pine trees, a few palm trees, all sorts of bushes and eucalyptus trees.
In general, the rest was a success! I liked it very much! Of course, I would like to have a better situation in the rooms....
Something like that.

Arrived today at 8:30. And I immediately decided to write, while emotions are overwhelmed! )
