Grand Levent 4* р-н Ортакент, Бодрум, Турция Grand Levent 4* Ortakent, Bodrum, Turkey

The hotel is located on the first line at the end of the coastline of Ortakent, far from Bodrum, in front of Camel beach. It takes about 30-40 minutes and 75 rubles to get to the Bodrum bus station by dolmush (a local more civilized minibus compared to the Gazelle). To the center of Ortakent - about 15 minutes depending on the route, to the store "Metro" - 20 minutes.
4* hotel, built in 1995. The hotel includes an administrative building and a restaurant, closer to the sea - a swimming pool, a bar and a beach. The two-story residential building is shaped like a very elongated letter "P", inside a courtyard covered with greenery, in a small area there are many trees and shrubs.
The beach is private - small pebbles, entry into the water is good, gentle, sand has been brought to the beach. The water is perfectly clean, about 25-27 degrees. The high density of water allows you to swim easily, and at the same time it does not particularly sting your eyes.

Frequent wind makes the air not so humid, the feeling is quite comfortable.
Once the hotel was very good, but for 15 years the buildings, furniture, equipment, and service technologies have become outdated. Against the backdrop of a large number of ancient Greek ruins, the obvious "worn" hotel looks quite harmonious and even piquant. One gets the impression that the owner (Mr. Levent) does not deal with the hotel, and the management is focused solely on pumping money out of the hotel. The staff is usual for Turkey, mostly from Izmir, does not understand Russian, but understanding is achieved in broken English.
The guests - Turks, Germans, Czechs, Poles and other Europeans, behave democratically. There are few Russians - 3-5 people.
The hotel is completely quiet and calm, without animation, I drink little alcohol.
HB meals (breakfast and dinner, drinks are paid separately) are very modest, I would call "hospital", for those who for some reason stayed to dine at the hotel. For dinner - soup, 3-4 hot dishes (beef, chicken + something else like fish, pasta, turkey, casseroles), 4-5 types of dessert, standard fruits - melon, watermelon, plum. There is no grill. Therefore, we are calm for our waist)))
The choice of dishes for breakfast daily is standard and minimal. Usually in the morning Turkish breakfast (boiled egg, cheese, vegetables, bread, butter, jam, dry food), continental 1-2 times a week (the same plus an omelet with cheese).
In restaurants on the embankment, the menu is quite standard and, in comparison with Omsk prices, is clearly more expensive: an omelet with toppings from 120 to 240 rubles, fried fish - 300 - 400 rubles, a standard 35 cm pizza - 160 - 300 rubles, a cup of 50 g of Turkish coffee - 40 - 80 rubles, a bottle of 0.5 liters of drinking water - 30 -100 rubles, dinner with a glass of wine for 1 person - 500 rubles.
Drinking water is actively consumed, approximately 1.5 liters per person per day. In shops it is 20-30 rubles for 1.5 liters, the hotel does not provide water.

For some reason, fruits are not sold on the street and in shops, I went to the bazaar, which takes place in Ortakent on Wednesdays, to buy them. Grapes - 40 rubles / kg, figs - 60 rubles / kg, peaches - 60 - 80 rubles / kg.
The nearest large European hypermarket is Metro, but there they sell by cards or passports and in rather large packages.
The excursion program, typical for this region, includes a visit to the city of Ephesus, Pamukkale, a small cruise on a yacht with a call to different islands, rafting, etc.
