First trip to Turkey

Written: 2 august 2008
Travel time: 3 — 10 july 2008
I sent my mother and son abroad for the first time. I can only say from the words of my mother, they liked it, they were 21 days old. The only drawback is that there is no Russian-speaking staff, a representative of the travel company (Odeon Tour) came once a day, in the morning. Many vacationers are representatives of the local population, there were also Russians, but not many. Immediately upon arrival, mother and son were placed in a room with one large bed for two. The next day, the mother achieved a settlement in a room with two beds, with the help of a guide, since the language barrier is an obstacle, although the son speaks a little English, but this is not enough in solving problems. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the food includes a lot of vegetables, although there were few fruits. Mom went to the fruit market on purpose. In the bars it was possible to drink carbonated, refreshing and low-alcohol drinks throughout the day. They visited two excursions: 1-on the Dalyan River, 2-Efes-Pamukkale. We were very satisfied, excursions were taken from a representative of the company. There was also a free sightseeing tour of Bodrum with shopping. By the end of the holiday, the dollar went to the lira as: 1 $ = 1.1 lira. Even at the hotel, towels were changed every day, bed-on request. The beach was cleaned and washed with water every day too. The pool was cleaned every other day or two with a water vacuum cleaner, and once globally. We left the hotel at 5 in the morning, and they were carefully given breakfast (although my mother did not ask). As I understand it, this hotel is for a quiet family holiday, so they had a great rest, and do not mind visiting it again. The rating of the hotel, according to my mother, it corresponds to its 3 *.
