Знойное лето в Турции! Hot summer in Turkey!

We did not choose the hotel for a long time, because our friends were resting in it, and at that time we were nearby - in another hotel. Yes, the pandemic has confused all the cards, two months before departure, I had to change three hotels in Russia for a hotel in Turkey. They took it through Biblio-Globus with a money-back guarantee in case of cancellation or illness. I will not describe the very procedure for taking tests and registering on the Turkish website (something like our “Gosuslug”), everyone already knows about everything and is quite aware, if not, the tour operator will tell you. RUSSIA flies out through this MOT, only PCR tests were asked at check-in, by the way, now you can book seats in advance with additional payment or wait a day before departure and book the rest without additional payment. There were no delays with the flight - everything was on schedule. In Antalya, passport control went through quickly - no tests were asked from the word at all. The meeting party of “Fit Holiday”, no guide, like an intern, does not know the language, communicates with the driver on the fingers, and it is not clear who understands whom, she read the history of the area of ​ ​ u200bu200bresidence from a piece of paper, it would be better to be completely silent than to be so disgraced. We arrived quickly, settled also quite quickly, offering a choice of three rooms, they did not demand money, but they did not refuse the offer either. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, linen is changed every day.
The area is small but very well maintained. The hotel, in addition to presenting passports, PRC tests, HES codes (assigned on the Turkish website), was asked to fill out an obligation that in the event of Covid-19 the hotel is not responsible and that's it. There are many foreigners, which, in general, pleased me. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I was a little upset that they didn’t give bathrobes, they didn’t replenish the mini bar - only water, juices and cola only on the day of arrival and there was no tea station, but the slippers were changed every day, well, motivation - like PANDEMIC ! , although it’s not clear what it has to do with bathrobe and tea station? Well, okay - it's not critical! We enter the restaurant only in a mask (they don’t let them in without them), the waiters serve food (as much as you say, they put as much), but we eat already without masks, of course. The food was excellent, there was everything and as much as you want - for which special thanks to the chefs. There is a restaurant "a la carte", but it is paid for $ 10 per person and plus wine for 25-30 euros, in the city for $ 10, but this is already an amateur.
The SPA area is quite large and well-groomed, we took a general massage with a bath twice - we liked it very much, they did balinese. 100 meters to the beach, right across the road, everything is nearby, everything is clean, there are enough sunbeds. On the beach bar - beer, tea, coffee, drinks, watermelons, melons and a small snack, open from 09:00 -17:30. There are 4 more bars in the hotel itself, you can not go to the main restaurant for lunch, but eat by the pool, chic gozleme cakes, ayran, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, cakes and cakes for lovers of sweets, opening hours from 12:00 -16:00. The people in the city are also friendly, with the small exception of merchants who are trying to impose their goods, but this is Turkey and it is so accepted here. The Friday market has become impoverished, has halved, and there are fewer goods, although there are enough shops and you can bargain - the Turks welcome this. They did not wear masks, but kept them with them, just in case.

Animation every day - everything is cool, but only until 23:00! There is no Internet, from the word it’s completely free, which is paid, apparently the equipment can’t withstand so many connected gadgets, but this is in almost all hotels in Turkey. The weather was a little discouraging for almost the entire stay, plus 45-47 degrees, this has not happened for a long time, the sea is 31 and above. In general, the holiday was a success, everyone liked it, despite the partial bans due to the pandemic.
