Whoever said that Turkey is all a banal resort, I am pleased to rest here to relax. More than once, being in Alanya, I can say what is really, this is the most common zone of summer holidays with beaches, shops and marine attractions. But most batch tours to Turkey are a beach vacation, so all lovers are not dangerous on warm pebbles or gold sand and get a chocolate tan will like it.
When I arrived here for the first time, I was impressed by the open coastline and the lack of concrete walls and wire on the beaches, unlike the Crimean Yalta. Even if the beach is fixed for some kind of hotel, absolutely everyone can go here. We even used the sun loungers of another hotel and played volleyball with other tourists on the beach, and no conflicts arose.
But, despite the "All Inclusive" system, I still advise you to take money with me, at least $ 500-1000, since the hotel guides will offer a lot of interesting excursions. From my own experience I can advise those who are going to Turkey for the first time, go to Green Kanyon to swim in Emerald Water, take a tour of the "Demrem-Kekov world" to visit the amphitheater and the temple of St. Nicholas, and also go to Pamukkale.
Personally, I was especially impressed by the second excursion, because the amphitheater will really surprise with his beauty. At the end of the excursion, a walk on the yacht is held, and you can see the ancient burials of the pliers, as well as go to the so-called love bay. In general, we swam on a yacht with a transparent bottom, through which an ancient city had to see, which went under water. However, the bottom was so dirty that did not work out. Nevertheless, it did not spoil our impression of the excursion. I am very advised to buy on a blue crab on the yacht, which is considered a delicacy, because only $ 10 will try to taste very tasty meat.
Of course, Alanya can not be called very exotic, but Turkish baths, palm trees and markets where you can bargain here. As for the beach holiday, I liked him much more than in the same Crimea.
