This year we flew to rest with the operator Coral Travel. Met at the airport and escorted to the hotel. Everything is as usual, without any complaints. The girl from Coral did not know anything and could not really answer a single question, but one should not expect more from the meeting guides.
The Kleopatra Inn is located one kilometer from the city center. On the right side of the Castle - the sights of Alanya. Most of the hotels around also have the word Cleopatra in their name, this is due to the fact that they are located in the Cleopatra Beach area.
Immediately at the time of check-in, we invested $ 20 in the passport, because we heard more than once about problems with check-in. Then they themselves observed that there were more incoming tourists than free rooms, and they were offered to live somewhere nearby. We were not happy with this option. For $20 we got a room with all working appliances, and as a bonus, the appliances worked even if there was no key in the circuit.
That is, going to the beach, we left the air conditioner on, and then returned to a cool room. Comfortable and pleasant.
Number.
The room was small in size, 2 separate beds had to be moved together and a crack covered with a blanket. The next day, the maid brought another 1, so that there was something to hide, and she carefully plugged the crack herself. 3 times we put all sorts of prettiness on the beds. A pack of cigarettes taken from home was left as a tip. Cigarettes in Turkey are 4 times more expensive than in Russia, so the locals were very pleased with this tip. The bathroom was combined with a toilet. The shower stall is fine. Hot water appeared closer to dinner, because it was heated from the sun. But there was always hot water until late at night. They didn’t clean very often, or we always got at the time of cleaning and hung a sign ourselves - do not disturb. But at the same time the room was clean. Linen was changed a couple of times during the 2 weeks stay...
actually somewhere every 5-6 days.
Nutrition.
The dining room in the hotel is small. If there is a big race, then everyone will not sit down at once. There were very few waiters, so dirty dishes were not always cleaned on time. The food was tasty, but monotonous. Although I can not say that we were hungry there.
The bartender worked in the bar - Murat. A highly educated person (he speaks 8 languages), and from a very wealthy family...in general, I got the impression that he was a co-owner of this hotel, and it was completely unclear what he was doing at the bar...It was always a pleasure to chat with him. And at the end of the race, we were even his guests at his engagement.
Beach.
The beach was about 200 meters from the hotel. It was made of very small pebbles, like sand. Always very clean, there were not many people. We were very lucky with him, the first week there was a strong storm, the waves were under 3 meters. Swimming was very fun and pleasant, we were not afraid that we would get hurt.
Tours.
Everything is a little more expensive this year than last year. Excursions too. Therefore, we carefully searched for an agency in the city where prices would be moderate. As a result, we went 2 times from Pacho Tours. This is a network of agencies throughout Alanya. We went to Cappadocia and Pamukkale. Our guide was Eileen - we did not understand whether she was Russian or Turkish. She was fluent in several languages and completely without an accent. We went on the second tour solely because of her. I have never seen a guide so interesting and fun. Even the road for 10 hours in one direction passed unnoticed for us ...We listened to stories about Turkey, drank wine or raki in the bus, each girl danced a belly dance in the aisle. In short, everything was great. They also brought us to places where we bought souvenirs and explained where it would be cheaper. So we stocked up on jewelry made from natural stones (any bracelet / necklace $ 4), were 2 times at a wine tasting (6 bottles of wine were poured for 7 people ...
we tasted specifically). Once we were at a leather sale in a large center, and the prices were an order of magnitude lower than in similar centers in Antalya ...A good men's autumn jacket could be bought for $ 150. Of course, we also got carried away.
As entertainment, we were 2 times on a day yacht and 1 time at a foam disco on a night yacht. Our yacht is the same as last year. It is called BABA-A. This is the best yacht in Alanya, with a super fun crew. I recommend it to everyone, and there will be no time to be bored day and night. The guys earn their money.
Market in the city.
In Alanya itself, the prices on the market were cosmic. The Turks were reluctant to trade. We attributed this to a huge number of Germans and other tourists who took things without bargaining at all. As a result, we bought practically nothing from ourselves, except for silver. Drip silver there, even in the city, costs an average of 60-70% cheaper than in Moscow shopping centers.
And if we were in Istanbul, where it is the cheapest, I think we would buy even more profitable.
As usual, stocked up with towels/robes at the mini-factory, which was located in one of the hotels, in the basement. We were there last year, the quality of things was checked, we went there this time too. Prices there have not changed and were 2 times lower than in the market.
Outcome.
This time was my third visit to Turkey. But I liked it much more than the previous ones. Probably it's all because of the excursions. All the same, you need to go and see, and not stupidly lie on the beach. Although the beach, too, has not been canceled. We were from September 27 to October 11. All the time the water in the sea was +28 degrees, and the air warmed up to 32 during the day. Velvet season. There are few children, the beaches are half empty. The beauty.
