Caria Caria

So, if you 1) are sure from a deep childhood that you were born a prince / princess and since then have been offended by all of humanity that no one wears a train behind you, 2) if you go on vacation, taking your diamonds and adore with a suffering expression on your face inform the whole beach that last year in the Maldives the sea was blue and the sand was golden, DO NOT GO TO CARIA!!!
Because the crown prince can only escape to Kariya to take a break from conventions, pages and the queen mother : ))) The atmosphere is absolutely relaxed: as already noted, the hotel is like a family hotel (I observed Turkish age (45-55) couples and young couples with small children). But there were also young childless couples, entire companies and quite a few loners like me : ))) The national composition was constantly changing: at first there were Russians in the majority, so the Russian show from the animators sounded Russia Holiday Resort, then young Turkish pensioners, very reminiscent of their German counterparts. When I left, the hotel was noticeably more likely to hear English speech.
Transfer from Dalaman airport by hotel mini-bus (about 20 minutes of travel through the Turkish "villages", left and right - covered with a gray haze at the top, and at the bottom with green mountains. Settlement for 15-25 minutes, and I was settled (it just happened) without participation of the guide, handed over the schedule and a list of hotel attractions. Young shyly smiling Turkish woman at the reception - Selim speaks very decently in Russian, the rest of the staff is limited to the phrases "good afternoon, how are you", elementary English helps, but they can do without it : )))

Transfer to the sea by hotel mini-buses, to the beach - 7 minutes, from 9 to 19, a break from 12 to 14 (lunch time). They pick up everyone from the hotel and from the beach, two times I had to wait 15 minutes until the next bus came from the hotel.
The beach is a huge bay, bounded by rocks on both sides, almost opposite the Kariya beach at a considerable distance - a rather large rocky island. Awesome entrance to the sea: smooth, after 20 meters - rise, so you can "walk on the sea" along the coast in ankle-deep water, then again a smooth descent and depth. The sea is clean, gentle, warm. It was a little stormy for two days, but given the highlight of the entrance, it was perfectly safe to play with the waves. If you go to the rock to the right, past the neighboring public (paid) and Magic Life beach, you can get into the small Lost World - a tiny cozy bay with fabulous views (in a couple of months the entrance there will most likely be closed and it will become a continuation of the territory of Magic Life) .
Feeding: meat goulash, chicken, sausages, sausages (which I have not tried), as always, a lot of salads, potatoes, rice, vermicelli, and various seasoning sauces. With the settlement of Turkish vacationers, Turkish national meats appeared (baked turkey, pizza, shawarma and all that). From fruits: watermelon, plums, apples, grapes and tasteless melon. A lot of Turkish sweets (delicious : )))
Animation from 9 to 10 for children, from 10 to 11-12 - for adults. I remember the Russian show (they invited our, it seems, dancers with amazing costumes and expression) and the Turkish night, hee-hee-ha-ha competitions with vacationers.
Near the village of Sarigerme with a small market, shops and cafeterias. On Fridays, you can go to the market and look around in Ortaca, a small town whose geographical location remains a mystery to me : ))) Travel by minibus from the beach 4 lira one way, 30 minutes on the way.
Mountains, pine trees, amazing air, amazing beauty of the sea, friendly people. Smile, gentlemen! Have a nice rest!
