Excursions from Konakli

Turkey is rich in various architectural monuments and attractions. Those who come here to relax, in addition to the sea and the beach, tend to visit at least a few excursions. And since the choice is large, sometimes it can be difficult to stop at something specific. Let's try to figure out which excursions are more in demand among holidaymakers at the Larissa Holiday Beach Club.

1. Demre - Mira - Kekova

Quite a long, but very interesting tour, which includes visits to three significant places.

First, tourists go to the city of Finike, where they transfer to a yacht and sail to the place of the city of Kekova sunk after the earthquake. Parking and swimming in the sea are organized not far from this place.

Further, the tour includes a visit to the ruins of ancient Myra, rock burials and an amphitheater. Then lunch is organized and a visit to the Church of St. Nicholas. In the temple issarcophagus where Nicholas the Wonderworker was originally buried.

The tour lasts all day. Approximate cost - 40-70 dollars.

2. Cappadocia

Two-day excursion to the central part of Turkey. As a result of the volcanic eruption and evolution in Cappadocia, natural phenomena arose - lunar valleys, rocks of incredible colors and shapes, bizarre mountains. In addition, there are entire cave cities, monasteries and churches that are included in the UNESCO list. The tour is very informative and exciting.

3. Pamukkale

A natural object that many call the eighth wonder of the world. Located in the southwestern part of Turkey.

It included seventeen geothermal springs and snow-white travertines resulting from s alt deposits. Tourists arriving in Pamukkale have the opportunity to swim in these springs, as well as visit the nearby Cleopatra pool. The tour is long, there are options with an overnight stay. Travelers who have visited this tour note that they will remember Pamukkale for a lifetime.

4. Yacht trip

Very popular tour. It includes a trip along the coast, swimming in scenic spots and lunch.

The cost of the tour is about $15.

5. Safari

A short program that involves riding around the resort on ATVs. Costs an average of $20.

6. Jeep Safari

Longer journey. Tourists are taken in jeeps along mountain roads and introducedthem with sights and places of interest. Some tours include lunch. Tour price - 15-20 dollars.

In addition to the excursions planned by the guides, from Konakli you can take a minibus or taxi to Alanya and Antalya on your own.

7. Alanya Fortress

City card. The fortress was built in the 13th century and currently has the status of a museum. You can get to it from Konakli on your own by public transport. Entrance to the fortress costs a little less than $3.

8. Dolphinarium

It will be of interest to tourists who come to Konakli with children. The program is good, it includes performances of dolphins, sea lions and seals. Ticket prices - from 15 to 18 euros.

If you go to Antalya, the choice of entertainment places will become even more diverse. For children, "Aqualand", "Aktur Park", "Aquarium" are perfect.

In principle, the excursion programs that are organized from the Larissa Holiday Hotel in Konakli do not differ much from those offered from other hotels and resort areas in Turkey.

What guests say about the hotel

Reviews about Larissa Holiday Beach Club are quite contradictory. There are guests who would gladly return here again, and there are tourists who do not advise to rest in this hotel. If we objectively look at all the nuances and aspects of the hotel, based on the reviews left by travelers on the Internet, we get the following.

Pros. First of all, I would like to note that the hotel isbudgetary, designed for people who choose a place of rest on the principle of economy. So if you are looking to save money and do not consider yourself a pretentious tourist, then Larisa may well suit you.

The main plus of the complex is its close proximity to the sea, it takes no more than five minutes to walk to it at a calm pace. The beach itself is clean, equipped, there is a bar.

The territory of the complex is small, but, according to the guests, it is clean and well-groomed, with an abundance of flowers and greenery. There is a spacious swimming pool with clean water and one water slide.

Accommodation at the hotel also practically does not cause any complaints from vacationers.

Many people consider silence and the absence of insects to be the positive qualities of a hotel.

Opinions are different about food, but the majority of vacationers note that they were not hungry. As in many four-star hotels in Turkey, the food is standard: a lot of greens, semi-finished soy products, cheese, eggs, sweets. From meat there is chicken, but in limited quantities.

After the restaurant closes, you can have a snack on the beach with french fries and hamburgers. A nice plus of the hotel is that you can take food to go, and in the bar you can get an unlimited number of drinks in one hand. You can immediately take 5-8 glasses and take them to the sunbeds.

The staff, especially in the bar and in the dining room, are very pleasant and diligent, they do their job well.

Now for the downsides. Many guests who have chosen the Larissa Holiday Beach Club 4hotel for their vacation note the poor conditionits number fund. People complain about neglect, old furniture and bedding, bad plumbing. Cleaning, according to almost all tourists, is either done terribly or not done at all. Many guests did not like the fact that s alt water flows from the taps in the rooms.

Entering the sea also seemed uncomfortable to some vacationers. There are many slabs, stones, dirty sand near the coast.

Free Internet is available only at the reception, and it works very poorly.

The road from the airport to the hotel is quite exhausting, taking about three hours.

Conclusion

Summing up, we can say that the hotel is focused on budget tourists and people who come on vacation with children. It is quiet, calm and comfortable here.

For those who love an inexpensive beach holiday, "Larisa" will be a good option. The price of the hotel is fully consistent with the quality.
