Отдых в Турции с годовалым ребенком Holidays in Turkey with a one-year-old child

We had a great rest, we liked everything very much, especially the cuisine and the attitude of the Turks towards children. Our Timos was carried there in their arms, kissed, gave gifts. It is noticeable that people sincerely love children. Both times the little one endured the flight perfectly, slept all the way, there was no acclimatization, and we never needed the first-aid kit I collected. The weather was good, during the day it was hot only in the sun, a pleasant light breeze was blowing, I think that at this time of the year it is great to relax in Side. True, for two weeks it rained for two days in a row, but these are trifles. We had a 4 * + hotel, on the first line, called Wish Long Beach Club, built in 2005.

The territory is well-groomed, green, but the greenery is young, it does not give much shade. There are pebbles on the beach, and sand by the sea. On the way to the beach, you cross the river, where there are a lot of fish and ducks swim, you can feed them all with bread. For children and adults there is animation.

I liked the children's one, although it was still too early for us to participate in it, and the adult one was not very good, but this is not for everyone. The restaurant has children's chairs, children's and dietary menus. By children's means French fries and fried sausages, although there have been something better. I gave the child food from the diet table, as well as from the general table, including soups. It was always possible to find a suitable dish with a minimum of spices and salt. There is also a children's pool, although our son after a couple of days jumped into any pool at any time of the day without warning, so we had to walk away from the pools. We did not go on excursions, they were for the whole day, with long journeys, it would be tiring for a small person, but there was no one to leave with.

The hotel also has something between a Turkish bath and a spa, a sauna (free of charge), an indoor pool, and a gym. The room has a free safe and minibar, which is replenished daily with water.
The territory is quite large, there is where to walk. But outside the territory, apart from the bazaar, there is nowhere for tourists to go at all, because the hotel is located in a small village, 20 km from the city of Side. Unfortunately, we never got there, because direct transport does not go there, and we squeezed $ 50 for a taxi, as we were told that there was nothing particularly interesting in the city itself. I really liked the food, a large selection of dishes and quite varied. In addition to the main meals, you could have a bite to eat on the beach with hamburgers with french fries, salad and Turkish flatbread, and by the pool something like pizza with salad, and in the afternoon coffee was served with cookies. It was impossible to get hungry! Some tourists were unhappy that there was little meat, but we are not among those who are used to pork chops three times a day.
The staff is polite, the managers also try their best to please the guests, so during the rainy days a "Turkish night" was arranged, although this was not foreseen in advance. I think that the hotel is well suited for family holidays, including those with children, but for a party-disco you can find something better.


I also want to praise the host tour operator - Pegasus. Our return flight was delayed by 5 hours and we found out about it after leaving the hotel at 6 o'clock in the morning. So, they didn’t leave us at the airport, but arranged breakfast for us at the 5-star Club Hotel Sera (which, by the way, I didn’t like at all), and then they took us to the shopping center, and from there to the airport. In general, the holiday was a success. The child was definitely happy there, and this is the main thing. The only thing that overshadowed our trip was the theft of silver jewelry from my luggage at the airport by our own compatriots.
