Turkey is banal? Or is Turkey interesting?

Turkey is banal? Or is Turkey interesting?

Hello everybody! Many people say - I do not want to go to Turkey, it's banal. And that's it. When you ask a question, why, then the person as a rule is silent. Then, in the opinion of this person, people have never been there, they also begin to say that Turkey is banal (Egypt is banal, Thailand is banal - it is necessary to emphasize).

I also think that these tourists say that they come to rest in another country, interesting and unusual, take the word holiday in the literal sense, and begin to relax, moving only along the route hotel-bar-beach-restaurant. And so the whole vacation. It is clear that on the tenth day of vacation a person will simply be unready, and such a holiday will seem banal.

But, for example, on such trips I try not to rest at all, in the usual sense of the word, I will always have time to rest at home. But to see historical monuments, to see interesting buildings, to communicate with local residents, to visit there, where our tourists do not go - this is what it is worth to go for 5 000 kilometers.

And yes, there is much to see in Turkey! Here are some excursions for example:

1. Pamukkale. Efes and Pamukkale. In general, for example, I prefer the second option - the Ephesus-Pamukkale excursion, as in this version you can see not only the famous travertines of Pamukkale, but also the historical city of Ephesus, which is visited annually by tourists, which has a huge amphitheater, and in which there really is what to look at. By the way - it was in Ephesus that I learned that the beer of Ephesus, in fact, is not being made in Ephesus.

2. Jeep Safari. In general - Jeep Safari in Turkey is not the same as in Egypt or the Emirates. In the first other cars - only in Turkey it's usually open Land Rover, like from Camel Trophy - sort of safari jeeps. In the Emirates and Egypt, as a rule, closed Corn, and in the Emirates these maize is better, in Egypt is worse, but also cheaper. In Turkey, the same safari costs as in Egypt, but impressions like in the Emirates, and even more!

3. Excursion on a yacht. If this excursion is bought on the street, then for $ 20 you get a cool program - you are called at 9 o'clock bus, and you go to the ship, where you swim until the evening. You are entertained, fed and drunk, and fed at the expense of the owners, and at your expense. Perhaps this is the only negative - drinks on all tours in Turkey are incredibly expensive!

And yes, by the way - the author of this article literally just returned from Turkey, and wrote a large report about a visit to Turkey, where he told how to spend time in trite Turkey unofficially, and having gone with a tour operator.

And by the way, our tourists say this not only about Turkey. Many people consider it banal Egypt - they say what to see there? And about the fact that there the Great Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx, the Valley of the Kings, and in general a lot of interesting things, why are they silent.

Thanks to all! With you was the author of the blog Russotouristo! And relax properly, so that for you each country was unbanal, and that if you are suddenly told that this or that country is banal, you could ask this person - why? Are you there at all beyond the hotel area coming out? Where was he?

Have a good rest! That was about what to tell to friends!
