Первій раз в Турции, отдых понравился For the first time in Turkey, I enjoyed the holiday

Hi all. Went with children to Turkey, children 4 and 11 years. We went for the first time, so we chose the hotel for a long time and were a little nervous. But, thanks to the help of our friend from the travel agency, they chose a good hotel. We left Kyiv at 5 am, so we had to get up quite early and go to the airport, special thanks to a friend - he took us to the airport, helped to unload and began our journey. The flight went without problems, the children slept almost all the way. Upon arrival, they crossed the border without any problems. By the way, some tourists do not know that before passport control you need to buy a visa and they had to stand in line twice, we were warned about this in the travel agency. On the way out of the airport we were met by a tour guide, called the bus number and we went to the hotel. There were literally 12-15 people on the bus, half an hour later we were at the hotel (ours was the first on the way). Thanks again to the guide - on the way she told about Turkey, about possible excursions, about the currency, in general, for those who are traveling for the first time - it is useful to listen. Arrived at the hotel around 9 am. Naturally, they were in no hurry to settle us, so we packed our bags and went to breakfast, ate and went for a walk around the area. An hour later, we got tired of walking, and we came to see if the rooms were ready. The rooms were free and we were taken to see the room. Upon arrival in the room, we on the advice of everyone looked at the subject of work, everything was fine, so we released the person who brought us and began to wait for luggage. Literally in 5 minutes our suitcases were brought to us, we thanked the bath for a dollar, disassembled things and went to the beach. In general, the rest went unnoticed, because everything was just great. Now essentially about the hotel. Large, green and clean area. The Turks seem to clean it all day and night. The hotel has many people from Russia, many parents and grandmothers with children. But in my opinion, the disco will suit young people until three in the morning. In vacant places on the beach and near the pool - so-so. If you come to the pool after nine or after ten to the beach, it is difficult to find 4 sunbeds nearby. But for us it was not stressful, we woke up about eight, and by nine we had breakfast and went to the sea or to the pool. It was more comfortable to lie on the beach - children played in the sand, near the pool - children on the slides, so we alternated a place to spend time. Especially you can relax by the pool to go swimming in the sea - there are showers everywhere and you can safely wash off the salt to dive into the pool. Concerning chlorine in the pool - it was not necessary day by day, it was possible to bathe normally - it is not so pleasant. The food we had was ultra, but I think if it was a simple all - we would also be quite satisfied. By the way, the nuance of the hotel is alcoholic beverages only from 12-00 days, which may not be very convenient for someone : ) For children, the food was also completely suitable, delicious yogurt for breakfast, lunch and dinner were always potatoes, pasta, something tasty of meat and of course cakes and pies. A couple of times the children were pampered with french fries, she was there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the breaks between meals in the general restaurant you could go to get burgers or hot dogs or gezleme. In the evenings from four to five) gave ice cream, in three places of the hotel, a queue of 5-7 people at the beginning, so we came for ice cream 15 minutes after the start of distribution. Fruit was given in the evenings (watermelons, strawberries, peaches) without restriction. By the way, for beer lovers - advice, take a ram from home, there is nothing but lightly salted nuts. In the evenings, a mini-disco, then a forty-minute performance, quite interesting for children. There was no repetition. I can't judge the animation - we took care of the children and didn't go to yoga and volleyball. From what I saw - water polo, volleyball, various water gymnastics, aerobics, yoga. In general, there is something to occupy yourself. We drove on a tractor once to Belek, went shopping. I have a wife and two daughters, so I couldn't do without shopping and souvenirs. Turks trade very well if there is a price tag on the product - the Turk calls the price twice less, you need to divide it in two and bargain until this price, if the seller does not agree - turn around and leave - the first time will stop and offer to bargain, in the end insisting on your price you need to get money out of your wallet, it's a hundred percent move - you will be sold at your price. In general, 8 days flew by unnoticed, next time I will go to another hotel simply because I want something new. If you missed something or someone is interested in some other nuances - contact me, I'll answer.
