Historically, our compatriots prefer to rest on foreign shores: in Russia it is too expensive, the service is disgusting, and the costs associated with relations with fellow tribesmen are too high.
In this material, we will tell you about inexpensive, but picturesque Turkish resorts. The ban on air traffic, of course, calls into question the rest there, but for such situations, God gave us ingenuity and flights through Belarus.
Antalya is traditionally in the greatest demand - the Black Sea, apparently, is perceived as not exotic enough (and the service is worse). The swimming season opens in April and lasts until the November holidays. The most famous among Pushkin's fellow tribesmen is the Anatolian resort - Alanya. In the summer months, every second tourist here speaks Nashen, and every first one knows the great and mighty Russian mat.
Alanya
So, Alanya. The most open in terms of tourist trips, the Turkish city attracts with modest prices and high-quality infrastructure. From a demographic point of view, the Russians vacationing here are the youngest and most advanced.
They go here through Antalya, and the flight time is three hours, after which there is another two-hour march-throw by bus, train (not advised) or taxi.
There are many budget hotels where you can relax for a reasonable fee. For example: Lavinia Apart Hotel - the approximate price per night is 1 700 rubles, Le Moral Apart Hotel - the average price per night is 1800 rubles, Aydin Apart Otel - the average price per night is 1800 rubles.
Intracity transport is represented by bus service and dolmushami, and among the attractions most often note the beach of Cleopatra (the Egyptian queen has never been here, but the level of service is worthy of royalty), Ach Kale, the Red Tower, local mausoleums, including Ak-Sebe Turbesi, as well as the caves of lovers and phosphorus, we guarantee: will be remembered for a lifetime.
There are good and cool nightclubs, for example - "Connacles" or "Avsalar", as well as several memorable ethnographic and historical museums, where you can bring children.
Antalya
The center of the province of the same name, numbering 19 administrative units of the district level, and one of the largest Turkish megacities. It boasts dozens of aquariums, an extensive and ancient tradition of market trade, water parks and leisure centers. In addition, there is a place to be a beach holiday and great shopping, not to mention the clubs - there are more than a hundred of them in the city.
In favor of Antalya says not only the size - there is also the cheapest accommodation in the country, the price starts from a thousand rubles per night (hotel "Sarampol"), there are offers in the area of one and a half thousand ("Ersoy Ak Boarding House", "Kamel Boarding House")- this is only the tip of the iceberg, offers in the specified range there are a hell of a lot.
The city is a bizarre layer cake of different cultural strata. There is a little bit of everything: Byzantine and Roman architecture, Ottomans, Lucian, Pamphylian and early Hellenistic sculpture and not only. Before the Young Turkish Revolution and ethnic cleansing, there were many Greeks in the city, but then some were massacred, and some fled to Crete, Corfu and mainland Greece.
The air hub is located 15 minutes (in the absence of traffic jams) drive from the city center. Spontaneous travelers will have to get by bus or tram service (the latter are high-speed here), magnetic tickets are used for payment -"Antalya-kart":the cost of a trip from the airport to the city is slightly less than three Turkish liras. Fans of acute adventures can prefer this option to a taxi: if you successfully agree, you will receive, among other things, a free tour of the city and the surrounding area.
Kemer
This town is a paradise for those who prefer a measured and unhurried holiday in quiet and environmentally friendly conditions for very modest money.
Get here through Antalya, by sea bus or taxi. Inside the city, they usually travel by fixed-route taxis - the aforementioned dolmushas - or by taxi. The price tag is modest: for trips within the boundaries of the settlement will ask from 4 to 12 liras.
Despite the fact that the town is modest, unhurried and quiet, there is an infrastructure for a family holiday - Dinoland and several dolphinariums, an entertainment park "Moonlight", and young people - at their service kite, diving, various surfing (not a couple of Spanish, Lusitanian or Australian, but beginners will come down). But the best thing here will be to come on a voucher: it is both cheaper and more predictable, or whatever.
Outside the city there are many ruins left over from the ancient Greek civilization, for example, Phaselis and Olympis: first they were plundered by the Trojans, then by the Greeks themselves, after which the Mongols, crusaders, again Mongols, Turks successively replaced each other. The latter robbed, killed and raped so thoroughly that nothing remained of the proud polises but ruins. Look at them.
You can stay in the boarding house "Kemer" for a two-bedroom apartment, the apart-hotel "Arda" (five hundred scars more expensive) or in "Las Palmeras" - at the same price.
Bodrum
The south-western town, located on snow-white cliffs, with a wonderful view of the waters of the Aegean Sea and St. Peter's Castle.
Students and golden kids are welcome here. The city is created in order to hang out, scuba dive, dive or various types of surfing. 42 kilometers away is the airport of Milyas Boddrum, get to the city by buses Gavas for 8 euros (this currency is preferred to the Turkish lira).
From public transport - minibuses and taxis, the ticket to the first will cost 50 cents. Suitable for beach holidays, entertainment (everything you need for family and children's happiness, including a water park with the highest slides on the coast) and cultural events. For lovers of antiquities, there is an amphitheater built by the ubiquitous Romans, the Mindosia Gate, the black island and the Milti shipyards, as well as st. Peter's Castle. Is that for shopping the city is not very much: prices here are much higher than in any other city in the country, even in comparison with the capital.
The cost of accommodation "in season" starts from 1500 rubles ("Merhaba Hotel" in Bodrum), most of the proposals are concentrated in the region of two thousand (the choice is wide - from a pleasant "Rose Residence" to hostels "Escisi"), in the segment of a little more expensive it is worth noting "Cavalha Studios" - rooms here from 2000 to 2500 rubles per night.
