Pros and cons of burning trips, or how I travel to the Turkey

Significant plus of "burning trips"

In the summer, there is a real “fire” in the tourist market! "Hot" offers travel agencies dozens sent daily. However, upon closer examination, it turns out that, at best, their prices were reduced by $ 100, or even left completely unchanged.

“This burning tour“ burns down ”in two, maximum four days, and therefore the discounts on it are quite substantial,”. Everything else is nothing more than the advertising course of travel agencies. After all, "burning" can be called anything!

Actually, it is precisely in the low price that the only plus is of the burning tours. It is important to bear in mind that a discount for a ticket cannot be either 90 percent or even 70. The maximum that you can count on is half the cost, and in order to understand this, you need to be aware of where the burning tour comes from. For checking this tours I use https://pro-agent.kz/

Revolutions, riots, and natural disasters in the destination country provide a reduction in demand and, as a result, a price reduction. Also, a cheap tour may arise due to a “refuse” (that is, a person who, for whatever reason, refused to go at the last moment) - true, in this case, the agent will not be involved in selling the voucher. But most often the reason for discounts are strategic miscalculations of the tour operator.

- The tour operator pre-buys seats in the plane and, quite understandably, in order not to remain at a loss, he must sell them. - Therefore, even the hottest ticket is unlikely to be sold at a price lower than the cost of space in the plane.

Hence the important conclusion: a potential traveler should be alerted not only by the high, but also extremely low cost of the tour. If the price is cheap, think about free cheese in a mousetrap and do not fall for this trick.

So, I checked all burning trips at the https://pro-agent.kz/hottours/turkey. Then I pick up a tour for myself, by the end of which there are quite a bit left, a few days ago. Redeem it. Thus, I learn to save a few hundred dollars.

After a long wait, endless gatherings at the tour operator and tedious fees on the road, I finally aboard the plane Almaty - Antalya. The upcoming journey responds within the same time and sweet anticipation and a little fear. The thing is that I fly abroad for the first time and at the same time completely alone, but I don’t worry a bit and I’m sure it will be the most memorable holiday. To my great regret I did not manage to see the Antalya coast “from a bird's-eye view”.

We flew to Turkey around 05:00 in the morning, but at this time there is total darkness. Having quickly figured out everything, I plunged into the tour operator's bus and after 2 hours we drove up to the Blue Sky hotel, which is located 61 km from Antalya, Kemer, Kirish district. Immediately I’ll clarify that before I left, I was rather upset after reading a lot of bad reviews about this hotel, but still I didn’t lose heart, because I think that the main thing in leisure is mood, and the hotel is the tenth thing. Especially since I was going to appear at the hotel maximum sleep at night and then for 4-5 hours, because I came to relax and have fun, and you can sleep off at home.

Having quickly formed at the hotel, having thrown things in the room and having breakfast, despite 8 am, I rushed to the beach. And here it is ... the Mediterranean Sea !!!

It is really so blue, blue as in the pictures. It captures the spirit of such a vast expanse, sea freshness and bright sun. An unforgettable view of this landscape is added by the incredible beauty of the mountain, which completely surrounds Kirish.

Despite the early morning, the beach was packed to capacity, because life dies down much after midnight, and begins at dawn, no one wants to waste time. Lying on the beach for about an hour, I managed to get acquainted with a company of young people from my hotel, who turned out to come to have a rest alone, and met only a couple of days ago. So in the first 2 hours spent in Turkey, I managed to get a fun company and then we continued our rest together.

On the first evening we went to a local institution at the invitation of a familiar Turk to drink beer and smoke a hookah. The cafe was simple, it was nice and cozy, it belongs to the wonderful hotel “Aura”. I do not turn out, but I can not say that for the entire vacation somewhere I was impressed by the hookah. Even in our "non-kalyannoy" country, I tried hookahs cooked much better. Beers all mostly drink Efes. And of course, “Black Eyes” is playing almost every song.

On the second day of my stay in Turkey, we took an excursion to the water park. The water park is a separate chapter of my story, I can write about it endlessly, as visiting the water park has been my dream for many years, but I will try to explain briefly. Maybe someone will come in handy note: a tour we took in a street agency «Ginza». It is worth the pleasure of $ 25, and includes in addition to the trip itself and the entrance, as well as lunch. Of course, the Turks guides, but what did you want when you arrived on holiday in Turkey?

Wonderful guys, ALWAYS IS INSURED, great, comfortable buses, fun, good Russian-speaking guides. And here we are, with our entire large company, after 2 hours of the road, we are standing in front of the AQUALAND water park, which is located in Antalya, and do not believe our eyes. Dozens of pools with blue water, an unreal amount of various slides of unimaginable height and the sun, the sun !!! Without hesitation, we change clothes and quickly run to the very first attraction, not knowing what to expect. The entrance is located in a cave, you go in and for the first few seconds you go without seeing anything and fearing to fall into the pool.

Then his eyes get used to the semi-darkness, a small waterfall opens before you. Still not accustomed to the cool water, we all huddled in turns, sit down on buns and a young boy, the Turks, briskly pushing you into the abyss. It is terribly breathtaking, it seems that there is nothing to breathe, but the soul rushes somewhere after it and cannot catch up with it. The sensation is lost in which direction and in what position you are flying. Unreal adrenaline spills out and overtakes the feeling of unlimited happiness. The whole day we rushed to the water park like little children who have gone mad.

I would like to pay special attention to another slide, on which, unfortunately, I did not dare to ride, despite all my thirst for adventure and adrenaline.

Unreal height, steep slope and you fly straight vertically to the ground. Really an attraction not for the faint of heart. We drove back to the hotel so happy and tired, no one wanted to talk and remembered in its own way every moment of such an amazing and wonderful day. Sometimes it is very useful to remember childhood and throw out emotions. And most importantly: you should definitely at least occasionally go into the shadow: we burned down unreal.

A few days later, completely calmed down after the water park, we gathered in Pamukalle. I suppose that everyone at least once in my life has heard of this miracle of light, otherwise it can’t be named. We took this excursion according to the tradition in “Ginza”.
