The uniqueness of this place, located 10 kilometers from Alanya, is that there are few hotels, and therefore tourists, and banana plantations are suitable close to the coast. Previously, the rich landowners gave their sons more fertile land away from the sea, and the daughters had a worthless coastal strip. Overnas, together with the tourist boom, women sold their land on the first line under the hotel became rich, and sons to this day continue to grow bananas. Greenhouses, adjacent to hotels allow you to collect a lot of yields per year, and after all there are still endless banana plantations in the open sky, walking between which you can imagine themselves as anyone, especially if fantasy is heated by drinks obtained through the All Inclusive system.
Kargyj's himself was a regular village with a minimum of homes. Several traditional houses of landowners are in this village and the present time, but as explained to me the familiar Turks, some of these houses are used by the owners only at the time of harvesting, and then they move to another similar "temporary" house closer to the place of collecting the following crop Bananas or strawberries. These Turks wear real wide Turkish sharovars with a red belt, saw many times, and they also chase teas with a male company in a shabby cafe.
Unlike the neighboring village of Mahmutlar, roads and sidewalks are not covered here, but asphalt, which melts from the heat. There are already enough new buildings, chic multi-storey houses that manifes us with their luxurious layouts and low rates during our short rest.
On Fridays in Kargydzhak, a mobile collective farm market comes with an abundance of fruits, vegetables, spices, rags and souvenirs, it is certainly less than the Sabbath market in Makhmutlar, but for the absence of the best can be visited.
By and large in Karghak, two long streets running along the sea - one busy track is completely close to the shore, the other is a little away, more like the rural settlements. Other streets go perpendicularly and go to the mountains. At one of the intersections there is a fountain around which a circular motion is organized, which is unusual, even for these resort towns.
In Kargya, there is a municipal bakery, which supplies tourists in the mornings with tasty odors and hot local buns, something like bagels, as well as fragrant bread. There is also an improvised post office, more like a clumsy interior-salon. The usual hotels, just one of them is interesting that before it seemed to be a purely female institution. But today, this hotel is tuned to deeply religious Muslims, suggests a separate bathing of floors, etc., in it, judging by the lack of light, few guests. Neighboring hotels with plantations entertain tourists in full and night silence. So, it is broken by the roar of discos and quack of frogs, which ridge like horses and on volume are ready to compete with the thickness of the speakers. Unfortunately, the entrance to the sea throughout Kagyjak is a stone slab with sharp and dangerous edges and if the hotels do not break through the narrow passage for tourists in this solid stone, it remains only one salvation - Pier!
