Where is the location description
The five-star Cenger Beach Resort (Turkey) is located a few dozen steps from the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, in the new and still slightly developed resort area of Kizilot. This is approximately on the border with the resort of Alania, which has long been chosen by Russian tourists. Manavgat, famous for its waterfalls and canyons, is only 13 km from the hotel. This is the third largest city by area and population in the region. By public transport, the trip there takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on how many stops there will be at the request of passengers.
A little further, literally 5 minutes from Manavgat, is the ancient city-museum of Side. The nearest airport is Antalya, about 90 km from Cenger Beach Resort. If you use motor transport, the journey will take about 2 hours, which should be taken into account by tourists with kids. Excellent asphalt highway stretches along the coast almost all the time. The windows of the car or bus offer sea views on one side and hills with rare groups of trees on the other. Arriving guests are immediately struck by some privacy of the hotel. In other resorts, sometimes from the windows of the rooms you can observe what is happening in the rooms of neighboring hotels - they are so close. This is not here, so you can enjoy a real vacation from worldly fuss. Even the nearest store is a 7-8 minute walk. But the highway is very close. Dolmushi regularly “runs around” here, so it is very easy to get where your heart desires. In addition to cities, there are a couple of villages near the hotel with small shops and taverns. The nearest is Kizilot (3 km to it). The second is Okurcalar (4 km to it). You can walk to them if the weather permits.

Sea, weather conditions in Kizilot
Cenger Beach Resort SPA is very close to its own beach. Before him, you need to walk 400 meters through the tunnel. The sea in this area of Kizilot is crystal clear, but open to all winds, so there are waves here. On the one hand, this is a small problem for vacationers with young children, on the other - a paradise for surfers. Sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach are free, which is not often found in Turkey. Staff at the Cenger Beach Resort SPA hotel also provides clean beach towels every day for free . A feature of this section of the coast is that the beaches here are not sandy, but pebble. There are even large stones, so it is advisable for vacationers to have special bathing shoes on their feet. Sunset at sea is not particularly gentle, which some like, but not others.
In addition to the beach bar, there are many activities, such as riding a banana, on boats with a transparent bottom. Yacht and scooter rentals are also available.
The weather conditions in this region allow you to have a great rest from May to September inclusive. In summer, there is practically no rain, it is very hot (quite often the mercury column rises above 30 degrees Celsius, and in some years it generally froze at around +45). The sea off the coast during these months warms up well: the water temperature is from 25 to 28 degrees Celsius. In May and September it is comparatively “cool”: +25 ... +30 . Even in April and October it is relatively warm (during the day the air temperature varies between + 22-26 degrees). The sea warms up to +20 ° C and above.
