Rested with my husband from 06/30/07 to 07/07/07. We flew from Kharkov (the flight takes 2 hours 15 minutes).
In Turkey for the first time (before that they were in the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary). We went through the operator TEZTOUR. They were satisfied. At the airport of Antalya, they are met, celebrated and escorted to the bus. Every evening at the hotel there is a guide or one of the TEZTOUR employees, who are always aware of all the questions that interest us. We had a guide - Yana.
Impressions about Turkey and the rest were more than positive.
Hotel KEMER DREAM 4 * is quite normal. The territory is small, but this, in my opinion, is even a plus, because. less noise and more free places on the beach and by the pool. The rooms are small, but quite comfortable, there is everything you need on vacation (shower, hot water, toilet, air conditioning, refrigerator, TV, bed, table, chair, mirror and hair dryer). Upon arrival, we were given a room on the second floor overlooking the road, by paying $15 we got a nice room on the third floor (No. 319) overlooking the pool. The soundproofing of the balcony door is not bad, but after the Turkish night (for some reason with Georgian dances), which happens on Thursdays, the disco started - it was noisy. The safe in the room is paid - 1 day 1 $ or 1 € (only then you will have to carry the key to this safe with you), think about it, because if there is a lock with a code on the bag, consider that this is the same safe.
The rooms were cleaned daily, only the bed linen was changed for the first time not a day later as promised, but two days later (and then only after I complained to the reception three times). After that, tips were not left to the maids in principle, but 3 times in a row they still received beautiful figures from bedspreads and towels from them. The minibar was filled with water daily (0.5L of regular water and 0.3L of soda water per person). Only if you save water and leave water in a conspicuous place, then exactly the same amount of it will not be added to you. We saved water to take it on excursions, because. road water is expensive.
The pool area is small. Around are sun loungers, umbrellas and small plastic tables. Be careful near the pool - it's slippery with bare feet and glasses are sometimes broken (I stepped on a small glass and could not pull it out; thanks to the hotel photographer - he helped to pull it out with a knife). The pool after 19 is cleaned and chlorinated, so you can not swim.
By the pool bar (open from 10.00 to 24.00) - you can take free beer, fanta, cola, sprite and drinks (such as "Jupi"). The restaurant is quite large, there are additional tables outside by the pool and on the glass veranda. The food is quite varied. For breakfast (7.00 - 10.00): yogurt, muesli, buns, eggs, sweets, jam, tea, coffee. Try jam and yoghurt - very tasty (especially if mixed). Lunch (13.00 - 14.15): the first (for an amateur), pasta (potatoes, rice), meat or fish, a lot of vegetables, sweets, fruits (watermelon, melon or grapes), tea, coffee. Afternoon snack (16.30 - 17.00): buns, sweets, tea, coffee, sometimes hot dogs (we did not like it). Dinner (19.30 - 21.30): approximately the same as for lunch.
The hotel has a Russian-speaking manager David. On the first day, he will arrange a tour of the hotel for you, tell and show everything you need. He is constantly on site and knows the answers to any question that interests you.
On the ground floor - a sauna, a Turkish bath and a gym - free of charge, massage - for a fee. I strongly advise you to visit a Turkish bath with a massage - the pleasure costs $ 25 and $ 5 aroma oil. First, you will take a steam bath for 10 minutes in the sauna, then in the Turkish bath you will be given a peeling and foam massage, and then you will be taken to a room where you will have an aroma massage. In the complex, it will take about 1 hour and 20 minutes (the pleasure is simply unearthly). After this procedure, your body will be fully prepared for sunbathing, and your tan will last longer.
The beach is also small, but free sunbeds were always available. Even from the neighboring Harber, our free sunbeds were occupied. Local Turks did not come to our beach. There were only Turkish families who stayed at the hotel. In addition to the Turks, Russians, Belarusians, Baltics rested at the hotel.
The beach is pebbly, it is very painful to go into the sea. This is the only downside!
The path from the hotel to the sea runs along the road (it is not the main one, but goes along the hotels and is intended for taxis, transfers, etc. ), then you will need to cross it, go through the mini-zoo park and you are on the shore. All our sunbeds, umbrellas and mattresses are green. To the beach 4-7 minutes (who walks how). Beach towels are changed free of charge on the ground floor every two days.
I strongly advise you to go to the beach in the morning to meet the dawn (in early July it is ~ 5.40), take cool pictures and swim in the sea - it is unusually warm, clean and calm, and most importantly - not a paddling pool, like during the day. You will be provided with a charge of vivacity for the whole day and evening.
It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the city center. There are many souvenir, textile and other shops. There is a pedestrian street (as in Moscow - Arbat, in Hungary - Vaci); large yacht port; they also say there is some kind of park, but we did not find it. On Mondays, a fruit market arrives (near the tower).
On the day of departure, the room was vacated at 12.00, but we used all the hotel services of the hotel until departure. We left a large bag near the reception (they are looked after), and a smaller bag at the reception (to hide it), and went to the city to buy fruit for the road (figs, black cherries, strawberries, grapes and peach - $ 2-3 per 1 kg ).
During the rest, we went on three excursions through TEZTOUR (expensive, but they took you away, they didn’t forget you anywhere, they’ll wait everywhere, lunch and dinner are included, and most importantly, an air-conditioned bus).
1 excursion: Demre-Mira-Kekovo - $40 per person. We visited the Church of St. Nicholas, rode on a yacht to the sunken city, and then went to the Lycian rock burials and the amphitheater. The guide's name was Saddulah (Sado) - a very nice and pleasant Turk, he speaks excellent Russian.
2 excursion: Pammukale - also $ 40 per person. On the way, we stopped at a textile shopping center (as for me, everything is much more expensive than in Kharkov; we bought only napkins - with views of Turkey, but Muscovites grabbed everything they saw, because they have it even more expensive), were tasting fruit wines (for an amateur, a bottle of wine from $ 20) and visited a mini-factory for processing onyx (it's generally cheaper in Kharkov). In short, money is being pumped along the way. Pammukale was very impressed, nature, of course, tried to make such a miracle! I swam in the Cleopatra pool (additional $ 14 per person). On our own in our free time, we walked to the northern part of the ruined city (there you can take cool photos with ancient tombs, columns and arches), and then with a group we went up to the amphitheater (it is much larger than near the Lycian burials). Tip: take plenty of water with you (if you can buy something from the driver - 2 bottles of 0.5 liters each costs $ 1) and hats - it's very hot. The guide's name was Lutfi, he is very similar to Leonid Agutin. If you go with him, then remember (or rather write down) everything he says (names of the area, mountains, valleys, dates) - then he will ask for the material covered and distribute souvenirs for the correct answers.
3 excursion: Israel by plane for 1 day with a visit to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea - $ 385 per person. If you have ever been to the UAE and you have a visa in your passport, then if you decide to fly to Israel, check with your guide if they will let you in at the border. As you know, the Arabs are at war with the Jews and do not like each other. The same thing, if you want to travel to the UAE in the future, then at Ben Gurion Airport ask that Israeli visas not be put in your passports (then they glue some sheet to the cover and make marks on it - I already found out when flew to Kharkov). So, departure early in the morning, fly 1 hour 10 minutes. Met at Ben Gurion Airport and escorted to the buses. The guide's name was Tatyana, she turned out to be a former Kharkiv resident. The trip from the airport to Jerusalem will take ~ 40 minutes if there are no traffic jams. You will see the old city from the panoramic platform on the Mount of Olives. You will ascend to Calvary, the place of the crucifixion and death of Jesus. You can venerate the stone of anointing and enter the main shrine of Christianity: the Holy Sepulcher (advice: if you want to consecrate something, take it with you from your hometown or something underwear, because in Israel it is very expensive). You will see a place called "The Navel of the Earth". You will walk through old Jerusalem and come to the Wailing Wall surrounding the Temple Mount (advice: do not take anything extra with you, because you will pass through metal detectors; and write your innermost desires on pieces of paper in advance - then you will leave these leaves in this Wall crying).
At the end of the tour of Jerusalem, you will go down by bus through the Judean Desert to the lowest point on our planet, where the famous Dead Sea is located. You can swim in it, if it can be called swimming, because. the water in the sea is just above the knee and so salty that you feel like a float.
After rest, we were taken by bus to the airport. Departure ~ at 23.00. We returned to the hotel at 2 am. A little tedious, but very interesting!
TEZTOUR also offers such excursions by plane:
- about. Cyprus (Turkish part) - 1 day - $275;
- Istanbul - 1 day - $250;
- Istanbul - 2 days - $300.
