The continuation of my story will no longer be about the hotel.
In addition to the hotel, we have been somewhere else. Namely: in Manavgat, in Side, and at the bazaar "around the corner". We have already been on official excursions there 2 years ago, and now we decided to go on our own.
Thursday. 3rd day. June 17.
We went after 17:00 to Manavgat. Where are the minibuses: you leave the hotel and stomp right to the highway (to go - well, like from the hotel to the sea, only the road is better), and there is a stop immediately on the left. There are minibuses to Manavgat, there are to Side (maybe there are still places - we didn’t need it). Travel in them - 3 lira (or $ 2) per person, the child is free. Drive 15-20 minutes. We were once at the waterfall, so we clearly went to the bazaar. There were few buyers, many sellers. In general, everywhere is almost the same. There were interesting things that came across only in 1-2 places. Liked the sweatshirt. Asking $35. We say that it's expensive, we leave. They shout after us: $25. Elsewhere the same thing. I say: "Your last price? " He told me: I'll give it for 25. Husband: no, I'm not sure something (it's true, the quality is something that alerted), and we're leaving. They are already shouting after us: $ 15. It was already, however, not even in the price, they did not take it. These are the Turks. They beckoned us there with $10 sweatshirts for one, $15 for two...., denim skirts for $1. A circus on a dart... ))) Then, going back to the stop, we went to the store "for locals", by chance. I was amazed that I didn’t see such bottles of DOVE shampoo 700 ml each or JONSON`S BABY - 1 liter in our regular stores, only in METRO, perhaps, and even then I’m not sure that there were such. We bought Turkish-made underwear: a men's T-shirt - 4.5 liras, women's bodysuits - from 4 to 6 liras apiece, a set of panties-shirt - 10 liras.
Ice cream "Turkish" - 2 lira.
In official exchanges (often found) the rate is:
1.54 lira = 1$, about 2 lira = 1 euro.
Friday. 4th day. June 18th.
After 17:00 we went to Side. Buses run strictly according to the schedule, the interval is short, up to 10 minutes. Let's go to the amphitheater, because. It was closed for restoration 2 years ago. Entrance to the amphitheater is 10 lire ($6.5) per person, the child is free. The amphitheater is still being restored, and it was not possible to climb everywhere. Then we walked around the city. The city was turned into a big market. All the first floors are shops, less often restaurants, more often they are on the 2nd floor. Everywhere sellers at the entrance, invite, beckon. It's boring. We went into one quiet street, to the right of the central one, there is a small beach, a pier, and a restaurant on the left. Come in. We are told: for 50 lire we will feed the three of you. We went in because we were already hungry, and the price was bearable. They ate potkebab: eggplant, tomatoes, bell peppers, chicken, mushrooms, onions, garlic stewed in a clay jug. It's tasty. Before serving, the neck of the jug is beautifully beaten with a hammer. Two side dishes were served to him: boiled rice and french fries. They served a sliced loaf and a plate of yogurt with chopped young garlic. Ordered 3 more orange juices. For 50 lira we were promised to eat, and coffee with ice cream. Husband asked for a bill. It turned out there: 50 lira potkebab, 12 lira - 3 juice, 8 lira - service. The husband called the “barker”: “Like, what is it? He promised everything for 50 lira, but here it’s 70. Let’s go without coffee and ice cream, since we have already eaten and drunk (it’s true, the potkebab is very satisfying! ) - 35 lira and we parted? The Turk was dissatisfied and promised to serve ice cream and coffee immediately. Barely refused. As a result, we bargained for 40 lire, and we left.
On the street "Turkish" ice cream 3 lira (Manavgat - 2). Temple of Apollo, embankment with barkers. Everything as usual. Only palm trees have grown noticeably in 2 years.
In the evening, somewhere after 22:30, we went to swim in the sea. Since there was almost no one on the beach, and it was dark - they swam naked. The sea is very warm.
Saturday. 5th day. June 19.
In the evening we went to the market in Kyumkö y. It is to the right of the hotel to walk for about 7 minutes. The bazaar, rather big, stretched along the streets in all directions. Women's sweatshirts (the Turks call it a "jacket") should be taken no more than $ 25, you have to bargain. The husband was called the price for his sweatshirt initially 50. They bargained for $ 23 and 2 lira (there were no more dollars with me). In any case, it is more profitable for us, Ukrainians, to buy everything in euros. We paid most of our purchases in euros, we also bought a visa in euros (also more profitable). We trade in dollars, and then my husband translated them into euros at their rate (approximately $ 1.29 - 1 euro). Tip: for sweatshirts more expensive than $ 25 - do not agree, leave, believe me, instead of 50 they will call you 40, then 35, and then call 25 yourself - they will not go anywhere, they will sell, believe me (we bought them for me and my husband - in different places). I don’t remember the prices for T-shirts, but also try to divide their price by about two - and call them without blushing, and without reacting to their exclamations: “this is quality! I can’t get cheaper, I bought it more expensive. ” And in the course of the conversation, already reach an adequate price, which is not a pity to pay for this thing.
