What to choose: Turkey-Egypt
I beg you, who was in Turkey and Egypt, tell me to advise you to go to Egypt again at the end of May, or to Turkey, you have not been there yet. What is Turkey good for, except for the service? Thanks!

At the end of May, it is already very hot in Egypt, and besides, an unstable situation is possible in connection with the elections. Therefore, IMHO - Turkey. You just have to hurry, in Russia at the end of May, many popular hotels have already gone to the "stop", and prices are slowly creeping up (I know firsthand, I myself have already booked a hotel for May 22)

Today I took money for train tickets (a tour to Europe) to my agent, so there is a queue .. like in a vegetable store :-) Earlier booking to Turkey. a lot of tourists prefer Turkey. Even without taking into account the heat in Egypt and the not very calm situation, Turkey is better in any case. Especially since you weren't there. Go ahead and compare.
Go to haman immediately upon arrival.

do not go to the hammam upon arrival, although you will be advised to do all this. They say it will be a beautiful tan. Don't listen to these tips. Peeling is done in the hammam. The keratinized skin is removed with a special mitten. In Turkey, the sun is insidious, if upon arrival you immediately peel and go to sunbathe, then if you have sensitive skin, you can get burned. It is better to get used to the sun for a couple of days, and then to the hammam!

You don’t have to “get used to” the sun, but use sunscreen correctly, taking into account the type of your skin. Start, as a rule, with a filter of 25-30, moving in a few days to 10-15, and then to tanning oil. I think there are no fools, from the hamam - just fry in the sun. But with creams and lotions, and with the mind - please!

I am talking about hammam because I am familiar with those who work there. And she herself heard more than once how they beckon immediately upon arrival. And then the tourists came and complained that they had burned out. My mother used a factor 30 cream in the middle of October, and on the fourth day, all the skin turned red and a rash went. Creams alone won't help. Most importantly, after 10, maximum after 11, leave the beach, and in the evening, not earlier than 4 or even 5, go to the beach. That's the problem, there are enough unreasonable people. You talk, you talk, but they still go red burnt and then complain about the rest.

Thanks to everyone for the answers, but I still don’t understand why Turkey is better, if it’s only in the political situation, then this doesn’t bother me, since I was in Egypt during the elections and after, I think it’s not more dangerous than everywhere. You can see Turkey, it seems to me that nature is similar to the South Coast, so we go there 4 times a year, relatives live in Yalta. I want to spend money and get pleasure, so as not to regret later that it would be better to fish in the Red Sea , of course, it's worth it. In general, a dilemma.

Yes, nothing, except that the holiday season is a little earlier than on the South Coast and leather, knitwear is cheaper to buy. Fish in Turkey in the sea are difficult to see. Resorts are all different, as in Egypt.
And the service, well, this is the case: if in Egypt Hyatt or Hilton, then in Turkey it will be Hyatt, Hilton, but not like a "scourge with several stars."

Of course to Turkey. Especially since you haven't been there yet. I personally love Turkey more than Egypt. Although, if your main goal is diving, then few can compare with Egi. The rest is Turkey. + if you are a history buff, then you will like it in Turkey.

To conclude which is better, visit Turkey at least once! And, of course, Kemer! I also really love the South Coast, but there is no such unique combination of vegetation as in KEMER, and the sea is still better! I used to think that there is no purer water than in Foros, and Foros Park is something! But Kemer is a miracle! And the choice of hotels for all tastes and budgets! I think after visiting Amar Dolce Vita, Rixos Tekirova, Vogue Avantage, Marty Mira, you will definitely fall in love with Turkey! At one time, we traveled all over Crimea by car, but, believe me, there are even more historical and natural monuments in Turkey and the impressions from them are stronger. So, hurry up to the agency, while you can still get to the above hotels! And pleasant impressions from the white Mediterranean Sea and hospitable Turkey!

In Kemer, you have already been recommended, and then in Turkey there is a cool area - Belek, if it's simpler - Antalya, Side. In general, go to the site and read, for starters, about resorts in Turkey. After all, everyone has their own preferences, everyone loves their corner both in Turkey and the South Coast.

If you haven't been to Turkey yet, it's certainly worth going. Obzhiralovka specific :))) And I would not recommend Antalya (arrival and accommodation along the coast). Look at Turtes and Tezztur have great deals in Dalaman (arrived at the airport) from it - Marmaris, Fethiye. They start flying there on April 27, if I'm not mistaken. From my own experience, I can recommend a couple of hotels (I just don’t want to write for a long time so that they don’t think that they are some kind of travel agent) :)) Well, be sure to visit Ephesus-Pamukkale while in Turkey. nafik you hamams :)) In conclusion, I want to say that FISH is something in Egypt, for which I can forgive their unimportant service and alcohol :))

If the vacation is at the end of May, then you can safely go to Turkey, at least in order to get to know a new country. I highly recommend not to sit stupidly on the beach, but try to take excursions and travel around the country. They made a choice for themselves a long time ago: May-July, September-early October - Turkey. The second half of October-December - Egypt.

Turkey is great! Go and you won't regret it. We were in Side, not far from the airport, there is a sandy beach, we went rafting in the mountains, in the city of Side there are many ancient ruins. Then, if you leave, decent stardom, there will be a beautiful green area, a lot of entertainment, delicious cuisine and Turkish sweets :)))) I wish you a good rest!

"seby" - oneself, see above. Here I read the advice of experienced people, I will express my opinion about the hammam. For more than 20 visits to Turkey, the first thing we do upon arrival is to go to the Turkish bath with a full complex, yes, it’s great to lay down a tan on a prepared body. Further, I would not recommend doing either peeling or foam massage, you can only get on the rocks in the hotel or just attend a massage. BUT visiting the Turkish bath, even upon arrival, is better to plan for the evening of the first day or in any case, do not visit the sea after the full complex earlier than 10 hours later - with sensitive skin, a reaction may occur, especially if you asked for more than a simple oil massage.

for fish lovers: in Antalya, the construction of a huge indoor aquarium, the second largest in Europe and the fifth largest in the world, began. 1500 m2, 5 million liters of water and a 130m long tunnel, scheduled to be completed in summer 2012. Today, the construction was at the foundation level, but the Turks are building quickly, so by the end of summer you look, and they will open it.

Yeah, in November last year, the foundation was solemnly poured. I read last year. And it has not been built yet, are they still busy with the foundation? It was planned to open it in the summer, but there was nothing left until the summer, I thought the water was already being poured :-)

In Tae, we still need to look for fish, we didn’t need a mask there, besides, it’s not the season there, it’s cool there since November! And in Turkey on the Antalya coast in the last days of May, the air is around 30, the water is not lower than 25. If anyone is cold, choose another direction.
