We broke off as soon as we arrived. We arrived late at night, it was very hot, the condo did not work, the door to the room did not close in Russian, no one understood, so I closed the door with a bedside table and we went to bed. until the very morning, since I couldn’t fall asleep, I decided to go out on the balcony to smoke, but as soon as I went out in front of the balcony, the sprinklers started working... in short, instead of smoking, I washed myself. In general, I remembered the first night in the angora for a long time.
The most annoying thing is that we were going to go to Kemer to a completely different hotel, but the agency told us that there are only discos in Kemer, and this is a quiet family hotel near the sea, and since we have a very small child, we wanted silence in short, 20 meters from our windows was the most likely a big disco in alanya. In the morning, the condo worked, it turned out that at night there were problems with electricity, the door was also repaired, and while I was solving it all with the staff, I spoke English in grief, I had to remember what I learned at school, since no one spoke Russian properly. so I communicated to them in left English, they answered me something in incomprehensible Russian.
The food there is really g. . o rare, I personally lost 5 kilograms, my wife could not get enough of it. By the way, she ate quite calmly there, I couldn’t eat anything except watermelons and every day I ran across the highway to a shawarma (by the way, $ 2 and very decently, well at least tastier than in the "clearance").

In general, if you don’t drive about everyday life, it’s quite fun to spend time very close to a huge market with all sorts of junk, bargaining with the Turks is generally a pleasure, all prices are charged three times, and if you show interest and then leave, the seller can run after you half the market and drop the price by five times, there are a lot of cafes with hookahs in the market, and since I don’t drink alcohol.
And I didn’t have any entertainment in the hotel, I hung out there a lot. By the way, it seems to me that it’s more interesting than eating burnt Turkish vodka at night discos, otherwise I saw such shots that left paler than they arrived, because at night they drank and danced and slept under the air conditioner during the day. The only unpleasant the moment in the market is that the electricity is often cut down there and you remain in complete darkness among some kind of plates and you are afraid to move so as not to break it all.
We didn’t go on excursions because a small child bought an excursion to the water park once, but with a child it’s better not to go there to the water park in the open air, the heat is 60 degrees, there is nowhere to hide and the bus comes back in 6 hours. After that, we rented a car and drove ourselves in the evenings when it’s not so hot. By the way, we drove by car to places where excursions don’t take them to the mountains, for example, they’re very close in the mountains, they have a completely different life, just like in films about the east. Only gasoline is very expensive about $ 3 per liter.
By the way, our Turkish friends also set us up a bit with the car. In general, you can rent a car there on every corner, but I decided to save a little and asked the manager from Angora to find me a car (he had previously said that his friend was renting) the jeep gave me a jeep and he asked me for a passport as a pledge. Well, I foolishly gave it. In general, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow, I say call a friend, let him pick up the car, he’s carrying a passport. to sleep tomorrow, fly away, and instead of a passport, a jeep. My wife still teases, well, what does she say, ride, we’ll go home, and you’ll stay here with a jeep to earn a new passport.

In general, I hysterically threatened all the Turks with the Russian consul and the Russian mafia, but they still brought the passport at the last practically moment. In general, now I’m at home, of course I won’t go to angora a second time of my own free will. But there are no strongly negative emotions left either. In general I think it was a pretty fun trip.
