The review turned out to be very large and divided it into several parts, look for what interests you by the headings. Hotel, food, shopping, excursions, sea, children, entertainment.
So, on June 27, our family (mum, dad and 2-year-old Maxim) went to the country of Turkey on the Mediterranean Sea in the Side area to the Dionis Sport and Spa Hotel. All the warnings that you can’t carry more than 100 ml of liquid with you did not materialize, but we honestly took only the child to drink. Because at the time of departure, the child was not 2 years old - then he also did not have a place on the plane. We came across glue spots in the middle in front of the cabin of the flight attendants next to the main exit/entrance. The child slept for about an hour. When they began to deliver food, he woke up and did not fall asleep again. The flight attendants were very attentive, often offering water, sweets, bags, etc. After about 2 hours, I started to have a hangover stage, it began to sway, the child began to act up, refused to sit on my knees, in the end I sat on the floor and put my head on the seat and tried to sleep in this position... The child ran around the plane tirelessly. So we landed in Turkey. The time is 24 hours local time, our hour is 3 am. “Overboard 42 *” Coming out of the airport building, I thought “Oh God, I’m in the steam room of our bath, what stuffiness, I’ll probably die” and with horror I thought now a bus like PAZika 37 route will come. We were met by a wonderful bus with a conder and a pleasant guide who gave us some practical advice and helped us fill out the forms. At about 40 min we were already at the Dionysos Sport / Spa Hotel. Within 15-20 minutes we were resettled, and after 5 minutes we entered the room and fell asleep.
Hotel.
Food.
She amazed us with her diversity. A sea of choice - side dishes, main dishes, breads, pastries, fruits, desserts. The child was offered steam-boiled meat, chicken, and vegetables. Sterilizer, children's chairs. But Maxim refused "baby food" instead, he preferred milk, cucumbers, bread, fruits and pasta. In principle, you can always have a bite to eat, not in a restaurant, duck on the beach, not there, duck by the pool, late dinner - you won’t stay hungry. Alcoholic drinks are not bad enough. The fact that the beer is always captivating is cold, moderately bitter, moderately carbonated. I really liked it, my husband said that at first it resembles a Sagittarius, and then a divorced Sagittarius. Juices are disgusting powdered Jupi.
Children and entertainment.
I was struck by the German 2-4 year old children, in the evenings they sat sedately on the carriages, and their legs dragged along the floor when the carriage rolled. In diapers and nipples on the floor of the face, a rope was threaded through the ring and a huge soft toy dangled at its end, which, when walking, dragged after the child. They also bathed in diapers. In general, these children in diapers with nipples and armlets fearlessly climbed the slides in the mini-water park and rolled from such a height on their own, while dads and moms sat on sun loungers and read newspapers. I was also amazed at their discipline and courtesy, they tactfully waited for my child to sit down and slide down the hill, and Maxim clearly liked that a crowd of children stood behind him and waited for His Majesty to slide down, while he still periodically stroked them and clearly said so KAPUT. . . The mini club is something. The first time we went into a cozy little house with 2 rooms, one of them had nice chairs and tables on which were pencils, felt-tip pens, coloring books, dominoes, lotto and other board games, in the other room there were a lot of games like puzzles, constructors, etc. . A lovely girl was sitting, but there were no children. For a minute, I began to shiver from the cold. At the same time, I said that the air conditioner was working very hard and it was very cold, and probably that’s why there were no children here, but the girl answered me with a smile, No, it’s not cold, everything is in order... And she refused to turn off the air conditioner. In the evening at 9 o'clock, a mini-disco begins, and either in Turkish or in German. Every day is the same. 3 songs from which you need to show something on yourself, what is sung in this song. True, the animator shows the children exactly what to do, then Tarkan's song, and then our child's favorite song about a train - while the children stand in single file one after another and move through the tunnel from the hands of their parents standing on the stage. And beloved because our child understood only this song, because. Chuki-chuki-chuki-chuki is sung there....The whole thing with songs lasts about 30 minutes. .
Entertainment.
The hotel has its own TV channel and once a week the hotel hosts a reality TV show, like Sea Battle. Hotel animators - one team, visiting representatives - another team. They sit in rubber boats on opposite sides of the pool, and their captains on the "land" "play" in the Sea Battle. They dance, sing, and some contests are held there. The whole thing is in Turkish. Vacationers at this time sit and watch or go to bars....All in all, I thought it was boring. They show it on TV in real time. Those. we were in the room and could watch this case on TV.
Also once a week days of Turkish culture. They set up tents and sold their souvenirs, knitwear, etc. They danced their dances, etc.
Once a week or in the 2nd contest "Mr. Dionysos". Quite fun to watch.
On other days - various shows, dances, etc. hours till 23. .
Disco in the main building on the -1 floor. The music is mostly either club or Turkish - something like Tarkan. Many went to the disco through the road.
Photographer. I really wanted high-quality professional family photos. They explained that we need a couple of three family sunny photos on the seashore. Natasha (Russian-speaking assistant) assured us that he was super special, that we had to trust him and everything would be OK. Yep, right now. He took us to the pool, let's take a picture of us separately, both standing and sitting and lying down. OK. Come grit in the evening to the beach, I'll be waiting for you there. They came. He takes a picture of a girl. And so between us, too. The sun began to set, we told him like the sun is already that... we would have with the sun... Ok, ok !! ! And then he takes a picture of the lady... Then like me - come on - get up. He handed me some kind of shell, stand like that, legs like that, arms like that, head here and click click... I told him - it seems like I need family photos....Max was tired of standing in one place and began to act up, and the photographer explains to me that the child is very spinning....In short, they spat and left... And then he was also offended - that we left. Later I explained to Natasha that I didn’t need standard poses of the same type. In general, we chose 2 pictures where we are all together and then of average quality... Photo 8 $
Day 1.
We looked at the sights of the hotel, went to an Inful-meeting at which we were told that it was possible / not possible, for a fee / for free. In our hotel there were 80% Turks, 20% Germans and 1% Russian speakers. There are a lot of sunbeds near the pool, but all the vacationers are thoughtful - they will put their towels, T-shirts, books in the evening - like it's busy. But this did not bother us much, because. we swam in the bass, well, a couple of times, and then from the hills, we still came to the sea.
Day 3 Troy Aqua Park and Dolphinarium. 120$ (for 3 persons)
The guide on the bus told us that the aqua park is located on the territory of a 7 * hotel and people live there who can afford a lot and your things will be just like in a safe... Yeah, right now, of course, our things didn’t suffer, but as I understood that the aqua park for residents of this 7 * hotel is open only after 15 hours, and until 15 hours a lot of people from all over the coast and all hotels come there... In general, I get the impression that the guides don’t know anything at all. If you are going to go to this aqua park - a few tips. You arrived, received the keys-bracelets-watches. It is better not to take money in the form of dollars and euros with you or take it only if you are going to take a picture with a walrus or a dolphin in the dolphinarium $ 20, $ 10 on your camera, $ 100 on DVD, or not take them at all, keep them in your bag, because to. you rent in foreign currency - and get back in TURKISH LIRA!!!! ! You will also not be allowed to bring water with you. You went to the water park - immediately, without delay, rush and look for a circle, if you didn’t find it, then they won’t let you on almost all slides, except for 3. If you didn’t find a circle, don’t be upset in advance, someone will throw it anyway him, because I get tired of carrying it around with me. You got a circle, rush and look for a deck chair on which you will leave your things. Everyone ride, enjoy the slides and the wave pool. The queue for the slides moves quite quickly, for Kamikaze there is no queue at all. Do not forget about lunch, it is better to go before 12 o'clock, then there will be a huge queue. Dessert in the form of ice cream you can take after 2 and skip the queue. Dolphinarium. Performances at 11 and 15. We arrived at 14.30 - there were no more seats in the front rows, but because we were with a stroller and with a child we were given a seat on the side in the first row, it was also visible well. Rating: average, not the worst excursion in our holiday.
Day 5. Green Canyon. ($140 for 3)
The guide at the hotel announced to us that the Green Canyon tour and Fishing Picnic are the same. Do not believe me, they generally know little about the tours that they sell. We were picked up from the hotel and taken by bus to this canyon, along the way, a young guy read something about Turkey under his breath into a microphone, immediately interrupted himself, saying that he was reading something wrong, in general, we realized that he didn’t know much at all and stopped listening to him. We drove along a picturesque mountain road, arrived, boarded a trough yacht, and sailed through stunningly clear emerald water with beautiful shores. As soon as the yacht sailed from the shore, "all inclusive" began, a queue lined up for beer and soda. At about 20 minutes we were landed on a wooden pier, they gave us fishing rods and bread, and about 50 people rushed to the priest to go fishing. The rest (women and children) rushed to bathe. Min h / s 30 both began to bother the whole thing and gradually everyone began to settle on the yacht with cans of beer in their hands. The bite didn’t go very well, but it was, I’ll brag - my husband and I caught a fish 20-25 cm each. An uncle jumped up to us and so excitedly asked where the fish was for the day, in general they gave it to him, but I don’t know what he did with it next... Then - lunch. Oh, this buffet, crush and pandemonium for food. For about 20 minutes there was no one, we were given what we ordered on the shore - fish, chicken, meat. We took some vegetables, pasta....Photo on the yacht - $ 5. Then the way back. Another swim stop. There are 5-6 troughs at anchor. We went out while swimming, I look, and our "ship" sailed away. There is a guy standing there - he tells you right here, he put us on another yacht. In general, I was shocked that they took it without saying anything and sailed away, but what if our things had remained there? Yes, okay, you would then returned. In general, the organization is disgusting. 10 people boarded the yacht, 5 went swimming, 3 came, no one is worried about who went where, who went where....Mess. While we were sailing back to the bus, the tipsy aunts arranged dances on the deck like "Hands Up" Natasha, Natasha, etc. The captain of our longboat started dancing with the Russian ladies. My husband sat in a stupor and looked at the steering wheel, or whatever they call it, which was ownerless. And the Captain danced and danced..... Evaluation: in terms of organization - a huge minus, in general, if it were not for nature, no beer on the deck, and swimming, it would generally suck.
Day 7. Local market.
There is a local market about 7 minutes walk to the left of the hotel. Jeans, knitwear, sweets, souvenirs, gold, leather - whatever your heart desires. As in all of Turkey, there are simply no prices. Come-look-measure - and then the price will be. Moreover, the price can easily fall from 5 euros to 3 dollars. The Turks count something furiously and for a long time on a calculator, and then they show, the funniest thing is when they count for a long time, and then they say 1 dollar....The quality of knitwear is of course disgusting, although they claim that it doesn’t get any better - don’t believe it. Jeans $70-40 All Armani, Versace, Dolce&Gabbana… Original! Armani himself did the calculation. It is better to walk around such a market in the evening when there is no heat. Take water with you, if a child then cookies, etc. In local stores - all for $ 1. My opinion: on the Tagansky Ryad I can buy much better and cheaper. Moreover, it’s hard for me to bargain, and I don’t know how to do it. Upon arrival in my homeland, I bought T-shirts for children in my own store - as a gift, Turkish ones at a price of 200 rubles, when in their native Turkey they shoved me T-shirts for 15 euros apiece... So think about it. In general, if you are ready to spend money on quality items of the Turkish company COTTON, then it is better to go to the ZETTA center and there is a huge selection of knitwear.
Day 8. Shopping ZETTA.
The night before, we ordered a free car from our guide to the ZETTA sales center. The car arrived very on time, 10-15 h / o min we arrived at a huge store. There are Russian-speaking sellers there. The service is very, very, very intrusive. Of course the prices are high. I bought a cool skirt there for $77. It seems like it’s not expensive, but for Turkey it seems expensive, you want to buy everything for next to nothing, especially when every $ counts. If you don’t want to buy anything from clothes at such prices, then it’s better not to go, they will process it in full or leave such a mine that you didn’t buy it, that you yourself won’t be happy. Moreover, they order a car for you back, I had an idea at first, now we won’t buy it - how are we going to get to the hotel ???
Day 10. City tour. ($30 for 2)
My husband dissuaded me in every possible way from this excursion, well, he didn’t want to go to the city in the 45 heat with a child. And he answered correctly. This was the worst excursion ever. The guide at the hotel told us that we would go here and there, see this and that, see the temple of Apollo (and in front of our hotel there was a copy of this temple consisting of 5 large columns), see 4-meter turtles..... FIG! We arrived in the ancient city of Side, stood on some ruin, the guide waved his hand somewhere and said that there was a temple of Apollo, but you can go and stare at it on your own in the evening, we didn’t see turtles, t. to. they “apparently sailed away”, we didn’t go to the museum. there “you have to walk for a long time”, in general, we were loaded onto a bus and taken to the Leather Center for a show of leather and sheepskin coats, we hung there for about an hour, then we were dragged to the Jewelry Center, where we also lost an hour. Let's go to the waterfall! Manavgat. Fence, metal detectors, armed gendarmes, bags are checked, you pass through automated gates. Waterfall. At first, I looked for this waterfall for a long time, it didn’t reach me at all that this is the Waterfall. In my view, water falls from the mountain and falls with noise into the river / lake, etc. Niagara is no less. In general, there are no less waterfalls in the Urals. But since in Turkey, it’s hard to see with water - they appreciate what they have. Well done! Water is ice. We ate local ice cream - Marash, made from goat's milk. The seller made me laugh with his Hocus Pocus. Ice cream sticks to a spoon so hard that you can't peel it off, and he made a little performance on this. Lunch was held in a creepy eatery with a disgusting menu.
Departure day
We were evicted from the room at 12 noon, all our requests in the form of $ 50 to leave us in the room until the evening were refused. If it weren’t for the child and his temperature on the tooth that came out, then of course we would have spent this day as usual. But due to the circumstances, we were forced to hang out in the Lobby Bar until the evening. The plane was delayed for 2 hours, then another 2... They took us from the hotel only at 12 at night. We arrived at the airport, quickly went through customs, we had 3 cans of cola, a 2 liter bottle of water, 400g of milk with us - no one even looked at how much liquid we were carrying in hand luggage, but some were slowed down. they had a lot of pebbles, shells and sand in their children's backpack - almost everything was taken away. We didn’t even have time to go to the duty free, we immediately boarded the plane. As we were lucky when flying "there", so we were not lucky "back". It is stuffy on the plane, the flight attendants never came through at all, to my requests to bring water - a positive answer was received, but I never waited for water. Shaking finally horror. Thank God we landed!
Who listened well done. Thank you for your attention. I hope that my advice will give you food for thought. Have a nice holiday!
So, on June 27, our family (mum, dad and 2-year-old Maxim) went to the country of Turkey on the Mediterranean Sea in the Side area to the Dionis Sport and Spa Hotel. All the warnings that you can’t carry more than 100 ml of liquid with you did not materialize, but we honestly took only the child to drink. Because at the time of departure, the child was not 2 years old - then he also did not have a place on the plane. We came across glue spots in the middle in front of the cabin of the flight attendants next to the main exit/entrance. The child slept for about an hour. When they began to deliver food, he woke up and did not fall asleep again. The flight attendants were very attentive, often offering water, sweets, bags, etc. After about 2 hours, I started to have a hangover stage, it began to sway, the child began to act up, refused to sit on my knees, in the end I sat on the floor and put my head on the seat and tried to sleep in this position... The child ran around the plane tirelessly. So we landed in Turkey. The time is 24 hours local time, our hour is 3 am. “Overboard 42 *” Coming out of the airport building, I thought “Oh God, I’m in the steam room of our bath, what stuffiness, I’ll probably die” and with horror I thought now a bus like PAZika 37 route will come.

At about 40 min we were already at the Dionysos Sport / Spa Hotel. Within 15-20 minutes we were resettled, and after 5 minutes we entered the room and fell asleep.
Hotel.
Food.
She amazed us with her diversity. A sea of choice - side dishes, main dishes, breads, pastries, fruits, desserts. The child was offered steam-boiled meat, chicken, and vegetables. Sterilizer, children's chairs. But Maxim refused "baby food" instead, he preferred milk, cucumbers, bread, fruits and pasta. In principle, you can always have a bite to eat, not in a restaurant, duck on the beach, not there, duck by the pool, late dinner - you won’t stay hungry. Alcoholic drinks are not bad enough. The fact that the beer is always captivating is cold, moderately bitter, moderately carbonated. I really liked it, my husband said that at first it resembles a Sagittarius, and then a divorced Sagittarius. Juices are disgusting powdered Jupi.
Children and entertainment.
I was struck by the German 2-4 year old children, in the evenings they sat sedately on the carriages, and their legs dragged along the floor when the carriage rolled. In diapers and nipples on the floor of the face, a rope was threaded through the ring and a huge soft toy dangled at its end, which, when walking, dragged after the child. They also bathed in diapers. In general, these children in diapers with nipples and armlets fearlessly climbed the slides in the mini-water park and rolled from such a height on their own, while dads and moms sat on sun loungers and read newspapers. I was also amazed at their discipline and courtesy, they tactfully waited for my child to sit down and slide down the hill, and Maxim clearly liked that a crowd of children stood behind him and waited for His Majesty to slide down, while he still periodically stroked them and clearly said so KAPUT. . . The mini club is something. The first time we went into a cozy little house with 2 rooms, one of them had nice chairs and tables on which were pencils, felt-tip pens, coloring books, dominoes, lotto and other board games, in the other room there were a lot of games like puzzles, constructors, etc. . A lovely girl was sitting, but there were no children. For a minute, I began to shiver from the cold. At the same time, I said that the air conditioner was working very hard and it was very cold, and probably that’s why there were no children here, but the girl answered me with a smile, No, it’s not cold, everything is in order...

Jeans $70-40 All Armani, Versace, Dolce&Gabbana… Original! Armani himself did the calculation. It is better to walk around such a market in the evening when there is no heat. Take water with you, if a child then cookies, etc. In local stores - all for $ 1. My opinion: on the Tagansky Ryad I can buy much better and cheaper. Moreover, it’s hard for me to bargain, and I don’t know how to do it. Upon arrival in my homeland, I bought T-shirts for children in my own store - as a gift, Turkish ones at a price of 200 rubles, when in their native Turkey they shoved me T-shirts for 15 euros apiece... So think about it. In general, if you are ready to spend money on quality items of the Turkish company COTTON, then it is better to go to the ZETTA center and there is a huge selection of knitwear.

My husband dissuaded me in every possible way from this excursion, well, he didn’t want to go to the city in the 45 heat with a child. And he answered correctly. This was the worst excursion ever. The guide at the hotel told us that we would go here and there, see this and that, see the temple of Apollo (and in front of our hotel there was a copy of this temple consisting of 5 large columns), see 4-meter turtles..... FIG! We arrived in the ancient city of Side, stood on some ruin, the guide waved his hand somewhere and said that there was a temple of Apollo, but you can go and stare at it on your own in the evening, we didn’t see turtles, t. to. they “apparently sailed away”, we didn’t go to the museum. there “you have to walk for a long time”, in general, we were loaded onto a bus and taken to the Leather Center for a show of leather and sheepskin coats, we hung there for about an hour, then we were dragged to the Jewelry Center, where we also lost an hour. Let's go to the waterfall! Manavgat. Fence, metal detectors, armed gendarmes, bags are checked, you pass through automated gates. Waterfall. At first, I looked for this waterfall for a long time, it didn’t reach me at all that this is the Waterfall. In my view, water falls from the mountain and falls with noise into the river / lake, etc. Niagara is no less. In general, there are no less waterfalls in the Urals. But since in Turkey, it’s hard to see with water - they appreciate what they have. Well done! Water is ice. We ate local ice cream - Marash, made from goat's milk. The seller made me laugh with his Hocus Pocus. Ice cream sticks to a spoon so hard that you can't peel it off, and he made a little performance on this. Lunch was held in a creepy eatery with a disgusting menu.
Departure day
We were evicted from the room at 12 noon, all our requests in the form of $ 50 to leave us in the room until the evening were refused. If it weren’t for the child and his temperature on the tooth that came out, then of course we would have spent this day as usual. But due to the circumstances, we were forced to hang out in the Lobby Bar until the evening. The plane was delayed for 2 hours, then another 2... They took us from the hotel only at 12 at night. We arrived at the airport, quickly went through customs, we had 3 cans of cola, a 2 liter bottle of water, 400g of milk with us - no one even looked at how much liquid we were carrying in hand luggage, but some were slowed down. they had a lot of pebbles, shells and sand in their children's backpack - almost everything was taken away. We didn’t even have time to go to the duty free, we immediately boarded the plane. As we were lucky when flying "there", so we were not lucky "back". It is stuffy on the plane, the flight attendants never came through at all, to my requests to bring water - a positive answer was received, but I never waited for water. Shaking finally horror. Thank God we landed!
Who listened well done. Thank you for your attention. I hope that my advice will give you food for thought. Have a nice holiday!
