Alanya/Turkey


As my sister suggested to join her and Rich for a holiday in Turkey , with a price of 250 euro in a 4 star hotel all inclusive +flight, the decision took not longer than 10 minutes and so Walter and me flew on Friday 6/05 to Graz , at the evening we manged to meet our friends Gregor and Tina in Murinsel cafe which had extremly bad loud music so we moved to another cafe!

On Saturday 7/05 we flew to Anatolia with Pegasus a Turkish airways,beside the cheap Price of Ryan air the other advantage is if you fly often with it every other airline feels luxurious!
It took about 2/30 hours to come to Anatolia and there was a bus who picked us up, and brought to our hotel in Alanya,the hotel was neat had a nice swimming pool and was on the beach, for every meal a buffet mostly vegetables and salad was available.
the temperature was about 25 centigrade which was perfect and we swam a lot in the the clear water, one day Walter made us to have a 4/5 hours walk tour to a village near by, the people were very friendly the children gave us flowers and fruit, a mother who was baking bread with her four daughter made us delicious cheese and tomatoes sandwiches with freshly hot baked bread and at our way a woman brought us freshly cut cucumbers and disappeared immediately!
However at the tourist area the people looked a bit greedy and wanted to sell their items even more expensive than in UK in Euro!
At nights there were dancing and music and different kinds of shows at the hotel and we got know some new people and a very friendly homo pair among them.
The seven days passed so quickly and that was time to say goodbye Also the the sun, it is cool and cloudy as usual in London and I still long for a hot summer !
