Azur Air flew, they have the best schedule in Turkey. At 1.15 there, and the whole day in Turkey. Back at 20.20, and again you spend almost the whole day in the country.

We arrived at the hotel at 6 am, they offered to wait until 9-10, then the room would be ready for occupancy. The hotel is a family run hotel. Among the workers there is a Russian woman at the reception, a Kirghiz Nasyr on general issues and a Turkmen Menzil as a cook. A wonderful young man, with him there is something to talk about. Finally got in at 13:00. Painfully we liked number 208 on the second floor of the log house, and it was released at 12. By mutual agreement of the parties))) we received this number.


The first four log cabins of the window overlook the road, although a car moves along it for half an hour, it’s still not a joy to wake up at two in the morning from some kind of chirping mokik. It’s good that we read the reviews in advance, when buying a ticket, the travel agent didn’t even know that there were rooms (log rooms) and a suite (a two-story building standing separately with a common passage on the second floor). The rest of the log cabins, except for the first ones, have balconies overlooking a small lawn with olive trees. In the log cabins, the windows look at the household yard.
The hotel is quiet and very peaceful. I have never seen a drunk person. They poured beer, white / red wine, sprite, fanta. Pepsi from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. with no visible restrictions. The food was ok, there were no frills. But what was offered was enough, you could sit an extra 15 minutes at the table after closing, no one would say anything.

I don't know about cleaning, they cleaned themselves. We warned that we only let the garbage take out. Information about the hotel - only a leaflet at the reception with a meal schedule and something else. There is no plan on how to get to the beach, or how to get to the canyon or the park. If you ask, they will say (if there is a Russian speaker at the reception), if you don’t ask, look for yourself.
In general, the beach is the most painful issue. We did not use the bus, we saw it in motion once. Worth like real estate by and large. As if to the sea, yes, 700 meters directly, but! You need to reach the street (well, in the shade of pines) 300 meters, then along the four hotels 600 meters, and immediately after the overhead bridges to the left, through the gate. Then the path towards the basketball court along the fence, library, toilets and changing cabins, taps for rinsing feet straight to the beach. In the direction of the sea, you will have a tent with people offering water entertainment on your left, and a city beach on your right. Of course, few people want to lie on the sand, even on a towel. In the morning they will try to remove the gobies, the husks of seeds and other garbage, the beach is dirty. We came to 7 and at 9 already left for breakfast, and in the evening at 17, and at 19 left. The person responsible for the sun loungers could come and 8, unhook them from the chain, could come at 10.

Once we went to a wild beach, to the left of OTIUM there is a half-closed gate, so through them straight to the sea. There is nothing to do without slippers, there, after 2 meters, the boulders begin in the sea. Be careful, cacti grow there, fruits ripen on them by September. So, if you pick it, it’s better not with your bare hands, they are littered with microscopic needles. It will get away with it in a couple of days, and if it ends up in the mouth, then for a long time. You can't take them out with anything. By the way, OTIUM guests do not have bracelets, so who really needs it can dissolve with them.
On the way back, we were met at the gate. without a uniform and with a gesture asked us not to walk here anymore. We went to the reception of OTIUM and asked if it was possible to visit their beach for a fee. Please, 40 euros per person. Why so expensive? You are told that all services including food will be provided. So either 40 for everything or nothing. The security guard of the TRANSOTLANTIKA beach said that it was only at the reception to agree on a place on their beach. So we gave up this idea to look for a normal place on clean clean beaches. By and large, the owner of WOODLINE could have long agreed with any hotel on the beach issue, there are no more than a hundred people, and even then not everyone goes to the beach.

But with the hotel guide from the Anex tour stupidly unlucky. In three minutes we were given on-duty information, and for 30 minutes we were told about the “wonderful” excursions, in which we had to correct twice what was told about inaccuracies in historical facts around the country. After that. as we refused excursions, all interest in us disappeared. They offered to pick up the voucher and proudly left.
We didn’t swim in the pool, so we came home without a virus. Rental of vehicles in the form of a bicycle. There are no electric scooters in the hotel.
We went to the canyon. Dragging in the heat 4 km. uphill (I think much more) they did not see the washout. Taxi $10 there, $10 back. We liked it, quite nice and picturesque. In the third lake from the entrance you can get free peeling from local fish.
So to those who travel. The hotel is quiet, calm, no frills. The way you treat your staff is the way they will treat you. One big minus is the beach.
