First vacation in Turkey
In September 2016, we gathered for a vacation in Turkey. Previously, always rested in Egypt. But since Egypt and the Red Sea, alas, are not yet available for us, we decided to bask on the Turkish coast.
We chose the Bone Club Sunset Spa 5* hotel, tour operator Sunmar. The flight from Moscow was early and at 8-30 in the morning we were already at the hotel. We liked the hotel, the staff is very friendly, they speak Russian well. We were immediately put on bracelets and sent to breakfast. After breakfast, we settled into a room on the 5th floor (the elevator worked fine). The hotel consists of three five-story buildings, along these buildings there is a long swimming pool. The only drawback of the hotel is a very small territory. The hotel is located on the second line, there is a bus to the beach. But this is not annoying at all, waiting for the bus is no more than 5 minutes, the driver is very helpful, helping women and passengers with children to board. The bar on the beach works fine, you can have a full meal there if you don’t want to go to the hotel for lunch. The beach is sandy, the water at the time of our stay was very warm, we swam and sunbathed enough, but, of course, you can’t compare it with the Red Sea. Animation is so-so, mostly for children, for adults there are competitions performed by local animators, but I would like to see Turkish performers with a national repertoire.
The hotel guide took an excursion to Antalya - $50 per person (visiting EXPO-2016 and Tarkan's concert). Exhibition EXPO-2016 - ecological. Each country has its own pavilion. I was very impressed by the huge figures made of plant material. In my opinion, Taiwan presented the most beautiful pavilion. The whole pavilion was in blooming orchids. The exhibition is huge and, of course, we didn’t manage to get around it all, because. I still had to make it to Tarkan's concert. The concert was great, Tarkan is great. There were no entertainers, no other performers. The concert lasted 3 hours and all 3 hours the performer did not leave the stage. He sang all the hits known to us: Shykydym, Du Du and others, sang many new songs. There were many residents of Turkey. They idolize him, it was evident from their reaction.
The impressions of this trip were very good. I liked everything: the sea, the hotel, the EXPO, and Tarkan.
