Excursions
Like any other hotel, Klas Dom Anex Hotel 4 * has a staff of guides who organize excursions for its guests. However, an analysis of guest reviews indicates that the price / quality ratio of the review program from the hotel is not higher than, say, a tour agency from Alanya. We have studied on this score the reviews of many tourists. The most experienced of them have reserved for themselves informative trips via the Internet before flying to Turkey and, by the way, were very pleased with this.
Of course, all the all-inclusive hotels in Turkey have their own excursion program. Prices, however, are twice as high as those of professional agencies. The fact is that even at the stage of their planning, hotel guides come from overpriced profitability. Trying to offer their own program, they use the techniques of unfair competition: they tell vacationers about the risk of being robbed or even worse on "outside" excursions. They also say that insurance "works" only during their excursions (the latter does not correspond to the truth). However, in practice, such “heavy” arguments turn out to be a bluff, and the facts show only one thing: the price ratio is twice as good with the tour agency from Alanya.
Pamukkale
One of the most anticipated tours by tourists is to the Pamukkale Natural History Museum. This place, called the "cotton castle", is hard to miss. It stands out from afar with its white color. His beauty was appreciated before our era. An antique pool was built here. Numerous picturesque travertine baths in ancient times were surrounded by a portico with columns (time turned out to be stronger, the ancient structure was destroyed).
The water of the baths is exceptionally pure, mineral (with bubbles) and very warm. The main thermal spring of Pamukkale is romantically called the Cleopatra Basin. It is quite spacious, has a shallow and deep part. Outside there are natural baths - travertines. They are covered with picturesque snow-white deposits of salt. However, the legendary queen never visited this place. And her name brings a raid of mystery to this object. Water in the pool is heated by a geyser. Above it, the ancients built Roman baths, which, unfortunately, could not stand the test of time. Their ruined columns still lie here, creating a special flavor of antiquity to this miracle of nature.
Cappadocia
Tours to Cappadocia, a unique area of volcanic origin, are traditionally in demand by tourists. Rocks 40 meters high conical outlines are truly original. A peculiar rocky relief created by nature is complemented here by ancient underground cities and large underground early Christian churches. This bewitching sight as if plunges tourists into the lost world. After all, even the houses of modern residents of this ancient land are cut down in the rocks. This is a tribute to tradition.
Discovery Park
One of the favorite places for tourists to visit in Antalya is Discovery Park. Traditionally, adults and children are attracted by giant dinosaur figures. They are quite complex mechanized devices with automatic control elements. In particular, the breath of ancient dinosaurs is imitated. The motion sensors installed in their bodies capture the movement of oncoming spectators and make these giant mannequins move and make a sound. It looks impressive and the kids really like it.
In addition to demonstrating the models of giant dinosaurs who lived on Earth millions of years ago, an exhibition of sand figures is regularly shown at Discovery Park.
Here, in the combined terrarium-aquarium, viewers have the opportunity to personally see various snakes, spiders and very photogenic fish. There are children's attractions, there is where to eat.
In memory of their stay in this fabulous place, visitors take pictures with a parrot, iguana, lion cub.
Alanya city tour
Regulars of Klas Dom Hotel 4 * also often and willingly choose for themselves a tour of Alanya. After all, this resort is rich not only in clean mountain air, palm groves, warm sea and golden beaches, but also in historical sights, as well as modern entertainment and cultural centers.
Shopping in Alanya
Many tourists staying at the hotel limit their purchases in Turkey to visiting nearby shops. This gives them an incomplete picture of Turkish trade and limits their contacts and purchases. They should pay attention to the advantages of the price range of products of the local light industry (in particular, the quality and price of leather products). First of all, it is worth visiting the eastern bazaar of Alanya with its endless shopping arcades.
There are many jewelry shops and boutiques in Alanya. Many tourists find interesting and sophisticated pendants, brooches, earrings, pendants, necklaces for themselves at the Baran Jewelery store, located in the center of Alanya.
Good shopping is famous for the Alanium supermarket known in Turkey. It is possible to purchase high-quality branded clothes and shoes in it.
Ich kale
The preserved Byzantine fortress Ich-Kale with powerful fortress walls erected around the perimeter of 7 km deserves special attention. Inside the ancient stronghold, visitors can see structures built 800 years ago: churches, castle ruins, water tanks.
Grotto Dalmatash
The creation of nature, created more than 15 thousand years ago and located in the vicinity of Alanya, is the Dalmatash Grotto. It is located below sea level. It is distinguished by a constant year-round temperature of + 22 0 C. In the grotto, the stunning spectacle of stalactites and stalagmites is enhanced by special lighting. This place has a story connected with piracy: here once corsairs hid from prying eyes.
Lovers cave
Of course, it is worth not only seeing, but also relaxing on the beach of Cleopatra, one of the best in Turkey. But a visit to the Cave of Lovers (which is not at all easy to do), according to existing belief, guarantees the couple who committed this brave deed, a long joint family life.
Conclusion
For many Russians, the words Turkey, Alanya have become a synonym for good, quality rest. 5 * hotels or 4 * hotels ... What does it matter? The main thing is that the vacationer should be charged for a quality rest. Even in the Land of Stars and Crescent, where the spa industry initially guarantees the turquoise of the Mediterranean Sea and a quality guesthouse, the charm of relaxation will depend on the chosen excursions.
We also note that an important factor in the quality leisure of a tourist is his culture and a tolerant, friendly attitude towards the hotel staff. After all, the philosophy of well-being is extremely simple: smile at the world - and it will smile at you in return.
