Just got back from Yasmine and my thoughts are still there. But everything is in order: we arrived in Yasmine at 10 o'clock, even had time for breakfast, we received a card from the room about an hour later, that is, we were already settled at 11. The hotel is wonderful, large well-groomed territory, spacious rooms (we lived in Myndos Club), which were cleaned every day, and with high quality, everything was in order in the room, the mini-bar was replenished every day (very convenient), such a kind of French balcony, they run around the territory electric cars, varied food, a lot of everything, dishes are not quite brought to taste, but this is everywhere in Turkish hotels, the specifics of their preparation. I really liked khachapuri. The snack bar has a real McDonald's (hamburgers, cheeseburgers, etc. ) The waiters from the bar in the hotel lobby are just great - they prepared excellent cocktails, from imported alcohol there was Bianco martini, Baileys, Malibu. In general, all drinks (Coca-Cola, Fanta, etc. were poured exclusively from bottles and even juices, it seemed to me not quite UPI). Coffee from coffee machines, delicious, and since I am a coffee lover, I was pleased with it. In general, the waiters are very kind, they joke, try to repeat words in Russian, they are happy to serve, to bring something, and they do it without tension, but with pleasure. We went to the fish a la carte, we liked the grilled trout, but everything else was so-so. In general, there is a wonderful energy in Yasmin, everyone is friendly, smiling at each other, such a positive microclimate. There were no problems with towels and sun loungers on the beach, the sea was very clean, it was 23 degrees, flocks of fish swim very close, we fed them. We went on an excursion to Ephesus (lovers of history and antiquity, and we are one of them, it’s worth going, you’ll like it, the house where the Mother of God spent the last years of her life is really a holy place, you feel so peaceful there), and also to Bodrum (from our hotel a minibus runs there, for two, the round trip is $ 28, the time for walking around Bodrum is about 2.5 hours, but this is not enough) We liked the fortress of St. Peter, the embankment in Bodrum was not impressive (that year we were in Marmaris - it’s more civilized there), but in general Bodrum is somehow not quite well-groomed. At 10 pm, animation began in the hotel, we saw Turkish folk dances and shows of Buddhist monks, and after 11 a disco (techno, rave) was excellent, they also sang karaoke, but they didn’t have discs from representatives of our show business (they promised to improve ), so I could not realize myself in this form of art. In general, we felt like idiots, because we practically do not know English (minus us! ), Thanks to the staff - they tried to understand! In general, the rest turned out to be wonderful, we don’t regret for a second that we chose Yasmin! Goodbye, beloved Turkey, when I come again - I don’t know, I want to start exploring Europe!
