бодрум azka bodrum azka

Everything was very good. A place with a dry climate, picturesque. You can also take a walk: it's not boring. It's delicious to eat. Buy souvenirs and gifts. Decent living conditions at the Azka Hotel. Great view of the bay from almost every room. The beach is probably the best in Bodrum and the surrounding area. Rest did not spoil anything. But. . . were and but. Those who go to this hotel should know that there is half board, which means that for dinner, not just drinks are paid. As it is customary to write and indicate everywhere, BUT in general, any liquid is for money. Water and tea included. And the prices for it at the hotel, for example, just infuriated me. Five times more expensive than in a neighboring stall! And this despite the fact that the variety of spicy dishes and sweets is beyond praise. It is, of course, forbidden to carry into the hotel. Doable, but you feel like you've stolen something. At dinner, even if you brought it, you won't use it. We found a way out in the fact that during dinner everyone ate watermelons. For some reason it didn't occur to them to sell them. Another point that needs to be emphasized. The sea in the Bodrum area is surprisingly cold. Invigorates. It's putting it mildly. Yes, invigorating at best. And at worst - almost icy. Keep in mind! Those who love exceptionally warm water, do not risk it! I measured the temperature of the water on purpose. Myself. Because I couldn't find this info anywhere. It ranged from 16 to 21 degrees. As I understand it, the so-called periodically rises to the surface. nizovka, the lower layers of the sea come to the surface. Before that, the wind usually picks up. And he likes to roam there. It is not for nothing that the symbol of Bodrum is the windmill. Oh, and I also forgot to note: all excursions from our operators are 2 times more expensive than buying them on your own in the city. Unless, of course, it bothers you that the Russian-speaking guides there are very weak. Yes, and an English-speaking guy that we got a cute merry fellow, but he gives everything too superficially, sometimes he can even shine with ignorance. With him we went to pamukkale for $ 35 from the nose. A sightseeing tour from the tour operator (riviera), but I think it doesn’t matter, pure wiring. It is presented as a gift from a travel agency, but in reality it is simply delivered to the gold and leather centers where the prices are simply awful. For the skin I can say competently. Engaged in her for many years, through Istanbul. The price tag on the skin is raised somewhere 4 times! The guides slyly say that if you are skilled, you can even reduce the price by 2 times. But this is supposedly said in secret))). Pure divorce. If in the city you meet a similar model, of good quality, of course, it will cost you exactly 4 times cheaper. They will drop the price for you by 20%. And this is normal business. On a sightseeing tour, they also take you to the center of textiles and sweets. Beautiful. Go try. Then buy. But keep in mind, this is also at least twice as expensive as in the city! You should not expect a human sightseeing tour, with a detailed story about the sights and their demonstration. That's it!
