arrived. bought a visa. passed through passport control. took the luggage. found the desk of your tour operator. showed the voucher. there you will be told the number of the bus.
Upon arrival at the hotel you will be taken to the reception. fill in the form there, again give the voucher. will give you the keys to the room.
bring sunscreen and panama hats with you. some money (for tips, etc.) can be exchanged directly at the airport for lira.
transport - minibuses
behavior in the country - many understand Russian, therefore, I do not advise sending local residents where you want out loud and in the city. residents behave differently - some pester, others indifferently pass by. first more
it is better to buy souvenirs, clothes and sweets in the markets in the city. although sweets are better in city shops.
the fact that on the market you take 2 boxes the third as a gift and it's all for 2-5 bucks - shit is rare and I don't advise taking it.
visit Demre-Mira-Kekova tour. also a tour of Antalya.
you can drive to the old town.
in the sea there are no such inhabitants as in Egypt. maximum small fish.
next to the hotel firm Neurosis tour (in a neighboring building) they can buy excursions, take them to a disco, etc.) cheaper than in a hotel

So, there is nothing terrible in Turkey, and nothing dangerous either. The main thing is to behave normally.
For shopping, I always do this: I take euros for duty free, and for Turkey - dollars. On the spot in the exchangers I change part of the money for lira. I leave dollars for excursions. In Turkey itself, it is better to make all purchases in lira - cheaper. Yes, and it is better to buy things in stores oriented to the Turks, i.e. where the price tag is in lira. Further, DO NOT change money at the airport or in hotels. CHANGE in special exchangers. They are easy to recognize by the yellow signs and CHANGE OFFICE inscriptions. By the way, in the same Migros, prices are in lira, but you can pay in euros and dollars, but better in lira.
Shopping, Antalya is full of hypermarkets, the same Migros, for example. If you suddenly go to Pamukkale, then you will be brought to a textile store. So, chic TURKISH shawls and scarves are sold there. Prices are low compared to Russian ones. And, most importantly, the quality is excellent.
By the way, Boer (produced in Bursa) shawls are very good.

What to bring from Turkey: banal magnets, Turkish delight, BUT DO NOT BUY the one in the boxes. He is so-so. The most delicious Turkish delight is loose. It is much more expensive, but it tastes ... mmmm .... You can also buy olive oil and olive soap. Leather products (only check the quality on site). And look at the country of origin. You can bring more spices.
DO NOT BUY tea and hookah. If you want coffee, it is better in large stores.

Don't forget to take a first aid kit with you. In Turkey, of course, there are pharmacies, but they have their own medicines, and it’s better to always have a proven one at hand. In the first aid kit, put a bandage, a band-aid, hydrogen peroxide tablets, antipyretic, painkillers, something for stomach pain and poisoning, activated charcoal, something for allergies. If there is a predisposition to keratitis / conjunctivitis, then also ophthalmoferon (or what the doctor usually prescribes for you). Another from the throat, for example - falimint. A remedy for burns - for example panthenol. If motion sickness, then something from motion sickness.

Also take a small travel iron with you.
On excursions, if you are in Turkey for the first time, then I would advise you to visit Pamukkale + Ephesus, Demre-Mira-Kekova, jeep safari, rafting, Cappadocia (a gorgeous place, but it takes a long time to drive) And also in Cappadocia, of course, it is better to go there by ourselves. I can tell you everything - what and how. If interested, write in a personal.

In Antalya itself - the Old Town and the harbor - Kaleici (entrance from the monument to Ataturk on the waterfront or through the Guardian gate). Not far from the city there are gorgeous waterfalls - Kursunlu, Upper and Lower Duden. You can ask the hotel guide how to get from your hotel, or taxi drivers (they know). You can get to the Upper Düden (Düden Şelalesi) from 5M Migros by bus number 36, dolmush number 31, stop "Düden - 2".
Even in Antalya, you can go to the archaeological museum (if you are interested in history). Located on the embankment Konyaaltı Cad. next to the Falez hotel. Yes, in museums the entrance is only for lira.
A fountain show is held on Ataturk Square (Independence Square).
There are many cafes along the embankment, so you can stroll calmly in the evenings.

1. do not contact the excursions from the representative of the TOUR OPERATOR, on the beach it is half the price.
2. Take cigarettes if you smoke. Average in Turkey 5 dollars a pack.
3. Do not eat salads with mayonnaise, just take vegetables if you do not want to relax on your "white friend" for a week. Good luck .

Thanks a lot, everyone! I didn't expect such great responses! In Antalya, I am scheduled to meet with my uncle, whom I have not seen for 40 years and found through "classmates". I'm worried that everything will go well.

Just from Antalya, and I would like to note about the Nevroz travel agency - the name is really frightening, but they took 5 tours there, and everything went great, including rafting and climbing the mountain. And so correctly people write that there is no difference in these travel agencies, only in price, everyone is put on the same bus. It makes no sense to take a hotel from a tour operator. For example, an excursion to Pammukale this year from the hotel $ 95 per person, we went from the same Neurosis $ 50. Perhaps there is cheaper. And about the name - maybe in the Turkish way it is somehow translated differently, here DURAK for example in Turkish - this is a stop)))) Happy holidays to everyone!
