tour of Antalya
I want to go to Antalya for a tour (resting in Kemer). It is desirable that the tour was real, with a competent guide, with history, legends, sightseeing (not shopping centers!)

with a tour operator without shopping centers it will not work for sure. With the street, the dose will be less. And with a guide, how lucky. When buying, they are all Doctors of Historical Sciences.

Are there tourist information centers in Antalya?

It seemed to me that there are no real historians among the guides at all. Sometimes they say such nonsense that your ears curl up. It’s better, if you are really interested, to look for information about the city, sights, monuments at home. Then tell others on the bus.
Last year tour of Atalia - from TO Anex Tour
cost 15 dollars, from street agencies - 5-8 dollars.

to be honest, I didn’t notice the centers, because I don’t need them for many years of travel. Read about Antalya on the Internet, at least on Wikipedia, make a list of attractions - in fact, it will not be so big - Kaleici, waterfalls, Hadrian's Gate and a couple of minarets. When you ask the street people about the tour, ask about the places you want to visit and who can offer you the most interesting route. And if you are well oriented in topography, then you can rent a car, arm yourself with a map and go :) At the same time, you can visit the surroundings of Kemer - there is something to see there. Basically, you can do it in one day.

in my opinion, the guide does not have to be a historian, he should tell an ordinary tourist about the history of the city in an interesting way, of course, without inventing fables and various nonsense. And about Antalya, I realized - I have to play tricks on my own. Thanks for answers! Here's another one indeed. After all, I know a set of duty phrases from Turkish. Is it better to ask for directions in English or in Russian?

Or is it better not to ask at all?

It depends on which part you go to, if in resort areas, in Kaleici, for example, then in Russian you can freely ask any seller. If further away, then in English plus sign language plus Turkish on-duty set.

15,000 Russians live permanently in Antalya. Plus a lot of tourists. When I got lost for the first time, there were Russian-speaking passengers on an ordinary bus, they helped me orient myself. English came in handy later, at the hotel. no one spoke Russian (it's just a hotel) In general, you can buy a phrase book, it's small. It won't take up much space.

Local agencies offer two types of excursions - with and without shopping centers. The second type is more expensive :) Usually they do not advertise, by default they put everyone in the "with factories" group, you need to ask if there is a "clean" option.
