The review will be detailed, respectively, the text is long, if you are too lazy - do not read.
We chose the hotel primarily for the surrounding nature and the opportunity to see something else. Read reviews accordingly. As usual - if the Russian tourists write badly about the hotel - you need to go. And the worse the reviews, the better the hotel, verified. I will not duplicate someone else's general information, I will write about the main thing.
They flew with Anex, their air carrier Azur-Air. The flight was delayed for 6 hours. After a delay of 4 hours without explanation, people raised a serious kipish, blocked access to the information desk, and only in this way forced representatives of the carrier company to come out to them. As a result, sandwiches and water were distributed, and people calmed down a bit. We tried to be polite, but the sediment from the attitude towards passengers, when without a kick everyone gives a shit about people, remained. A huge problem for Azur is the representatives of Boryspil. Girls are rude and frankly run into trouble, passengers perceive them as employees of Azur or Anes. But this is a separate topic, I will say hello to these beauties myself.

The Zeus Hotel itself is located in the town of Turunc. The beauty of nature there is incredible. Mountains and sea. Beach - officially considered pebbles, but this is coarse sand, not pebbles. You don't need special shoes. The entrance to the sea is gentle, comfortable, first sand, then 2 meters of smooth stones, then sand again, how far we swam. The water is clean, we dived closer to the shore, and behind the buoys at a depth of 15 meters - the visibility is perfect. If you lie on the water at a depth of 15 meters, you can see slopes at the bottom, and a fish that moves like a lizard on foot. There are a lot of fish in general, right off the coast the size of a palm and more, and shoals of small things. There is a pier on the beach, and there is also a gentle bridge into the water.
The town is small, because the prices are half as low as in Marmaris, which is 20 km away (6.25 lira by minibus or 20 lira by water taxi, but there is frankly nothing to do in Marmaris). Products are better to take in the supermarket. For comparison, a lokum pack of 200 grams in the bazaar is 15 lira, well, you can drop it up to 13, the same delight in Migros or Sok is 6 lira, weighing 350 grams is 8 lira, we even found 180 grams for 1.95 lira. Watermelons on trays and exit cars 3-3.5 lira, in stores 1.40-1.70.
You have to haggle in the markets. In 90% of cases, they give at a price 2 times lower than the declared one. On bags and wallets, we knocked down three times.
2 pharmacies, dozens of cafes and shops. The currency needs to be changed at the post office, the hotel and shops counted at 5.30-5.35, the mail takes 5.72. On pharmacies there are signs "E" with a cross, a PTT sign in the post office.
The staff at the reception are Russian-speaking Azerbaijanis. Very polite and attentive. Bartenders are several, different. I chose the calmest, gave him a dollar a couple of times - and the guy tried to serve in everything.
Rooms. As for the dead rooms, it’s a frank lie - the rooms are very spacious, the furniture is good, the beds are wide, the bedding and towels are new and clean. Conders and refrigerators work. But the plumbing is really tired. But there is no broken one, everything works, even though it looks unpresentable. The hotel's flaw is a 2-meter pool without a children's area, although with a water slide, children who cannot swim simply cannot use this pool. Another minus - in the room there are 3 programs on TV, 2 of them in Turkish and NTN. There are more in the lobby, but all of them are Rashkov's.
Wi-Fi is normal, officially only at the reception. But we lived on the 2nd floor - worked great in the rooms.

Nutrition. About "nothing to eat" and not "do not give meat and fruit" is also complete nonsense of Russian tourists. The food for a 3 is just fine, not all 4s are fed like that. Yes, there are no special frills. Salads of 25-30 species, soup for lunch and dinner (never repeated in 7 days) is very tasty. Meat for lunch and dinner, plus always 3 types of side dishes, also constantly alternate. What is true is that a Turk stands on meat and gives out in portions. But. Raska-tourists shovel mountains into plates and then leave it. We took a little food and then barely finished eating. If these cretins are still given meat to pour in plenty, they will pig it too and the hotel will go into the minus. But the Turk pours portions of meat so that we also barely finished eating. The range of meat dishes is quite diverse. Fruit delicious apples and oranges daily. The range of fruits and sweets is small, but there is always. Every dinner sweets and desserts. Breakfast - cereals, milk, 4 types of jams, honey, sausage, 7-8 types of cheeses, eggs, cheese puff sticks. Grabs the eyes.
Now attention. There are 3 auto-moto-bike rentals in Turunc. Of these, 2 belong to the Russian Lena. And she has an employee - Kevin, English-speaking. ATTENTION - SCAMMERS!! ! We came to them for renting a car and an ATV. At first they sang a song to us that they have 150 (! ) cars, but you can’t see them - they are in Marmaris and they are being driven (?! ). Well, ok, we chose a car. The performance begins with calls, and it turns out that all the cars have been dismantled (yes, all 150) and there is only a Mercedes convertible, at a price 3 times higher than usual. Okay, figs with him, let's. Starts to fill out the contract, asks for a credit card. She explains that she registers the credit card number with the gendarmerie in case we violate and get a fine (?! ). Okay. She copied the number, then turns the credit card over and writes the SECRET CODE into the contract. In response to my remark that it should not be reported to anyone, he starts freaking out, throwing documents, shouting that this is a requirement of the POLICE, and in general, one tourist was fined a month after returning home (??! ! Awesome, right? Turkey was fined). At my suggestion, since this is a police requirement, rewrite the code, but the card will be closed immediately after the car is handed over, I threw the documents and immediately lost interest in renting 2 units of equipment. Was sent to hell. By the way, she also sells inexpensive tours. They are cheaper because it's a stupid ship ticket, no guide, no lunch, just nothing. And also lures credit card numbers with codes. Then we went to another agency - to the Turk. It is on the central pedestrian street, closer to Migros, not far from the bridge. The Turk wrote us a reservation on paper for the day after tomorrow (as asked), he did not ask for deposits and did not take them. Arrived at the appointed time - everything is ready. He has cars in the parking lot around the corner. Wrote a contract, asked about a credit card. I got it, he says - I don’t need it, just have it with you, if you break it, you can immediately pay the police fine to her. And that's all... The price is like everyone else - 40 bucks for a quadric and the same amount for a car. We took Fiat, consumption 6 per 100.
Excursions. Anex gave us a discount in Dalaman, such as flight delay compensation. The tour is not bad, but all run-run. We traveled for 2 hours by bus, then by boat. First we went to the tombs. 15 minutes for a photo. Then catch crabs - 20 minutes. The promised turtles were not. Those. were formal. After the crabs were taken to the beach on the Mediterranean Sea for 1.5 hours. The bullshit is that from 11.30 to 13.00. At such a time, no sun cream will save. Then they boarded the boat and began throwing the husks from the eaten crabs overboard. And 3 turtles sailed onto this husk... I. e. we kind of saw them... Then for lunch - a chic lunch, there's nothing to say. Then on the dirt. Also a little through the ass - for everything exactly an hour. Mud of 4 types, each is applied for 10-15 minutes, but you still need to wash it off every time, but it has already dried up... Plus a thermal pool, I also want to sit. And there is also a queue in the booth, to change clothes at the beginning, and at the end, this hour is really about nothing, at least 1.5-2 given. Then we were taken to a wine tasting. This is officially not in the program, this is time stolen in the mud. They pour a little bit of wine there, then they simmer it for $25, or 3 bottles for $60. We found this wine in Migros for 5 bucks a bottle. Narsharan they have $ 20 per liter, we bought 80 cents for 250 ml in Migros.
We made the most interesting excursions ourselves. They drove the cars to Kyz-Kuma (the village of Orkhaniye), where the spit goes into the sea for 600 meters. Tourists are taken there for 25-30 bucks by ship for 20 minutes. We were there for 2 hours - swimming, sunbathing, taking pictures. It is 30 km from the hotel, pointer to Osmaniye. Not reaching 5 km to Orhaniye to the right, the sign for Celale is a chic place, and tourists are not taken at all. This is a cascade of waterfalls. The water there knocked out bowls deep to the chest, you can swim. On flat areas, the Turks put tables and chairs right in the water (ankle-deep and above), sit, drink tea (2 lira). Honey is sold everywhere along the way. We stopped in some village in the market, where neither Russian nor English is understood - tourists are not found there... Tea 2 lira, coffee 3 lira, orange fresh 3 lira, local sweets for a penny... We were let into the mosque. In the evening we went to Amos - I highly recommend it. 2 km up the mountain from Turunc. There are two Amos - the actual Greek settlement (white 2-storey houses with terraces and flowers, a piece of heaven on Earth), and the remains of a fortress on the mountain. The fortress is a ruin, the amphitheater is completely preserved, but the view from there... As the son said - as if from Tui's advertising brochures.

Well, basically everything. Who cares - write, I will answer.
