Reisebericht einer 7-tägigen Rundreise durch die Westtürkei mit Reiseziele Antalya, Bursa, Istanbul, Troja, Pergamon, Ephesus, Hierapolis, Pamukkale und zurück nach Antalya

Monday, 17th March (1-st day) - one week before Easter it went in our Easter vacation - an extension of the tour of 2007 when we travelled around the region around Antalya, thus the Mediterranean region. This time we had with the takeoff harbour more luck - starting point the airport was away in Erfurt - about 24 kms. About 9.35 o'clock the Boeing 737-800 of SunExpress started with cloudy and cold 8°C. Because we were measured only few days ago the distances of the rows by different airlines, we just checked it sometimes. The row 14 ABC had only 73 cms of distance, the row 14 DEF improves 76 cms. If one still draws off the armrest strength from it, better one standing place remains for a 2-m giant. Because, however, about Easter dank weather were predicted, it could only become better. The clouds were preserved to us to shortly before Antalya, with the landing around 12:35, thus after three hours, the sun illuminated us with about 18°C. As usual - a speedy dispatch and suitcase expenditure - to numerous tour operator already serviced a big number of tour guide of the different companies.

Quick still the clocks one hour preturn - wait, until the thus different airplanes landed which could start for the hotel feeder-bus. We had the sixth and therefore last hotel and thereby received an in addition small city tour. Shortly before 16 o'clock we checked in at the **** Antalya hotel. Here we also got to know our new tour guide to whom for the coming days to us the places of interest point, but will also accompany by the advertising destinations like Teppich-Knüpfereien, silk products and the golden workshops.

Sometimes we were this a little clever - we brang along a coke to ourselves already with the journey, because the entrainment is not seen by outside purchased drinks with pleasure. Now - they we need to make our whisky from the Duty Free a little thinner. The drink prices also have here meanwhile proud prices.

Because still enough time was up to the dinner, we still did a small town stroll to have again a feeling for the prices. As the first we cleared up at a bank the day course. He lay with 1.97 Turkish lira for a euro - to convert easily - a course of about 1:2. In a big supermarket we found out that a lot of products of the everyday demand are to be had substantially more for a good price in Germany than here. This was also to be seen in quite a lot of empty shopping cart. It were astonishing the presence of security staff in and before shops as well as the security sluice at the supermarket. However, everything seems to know the Prozedere and gave voluntarily and unsolicited mobile phones, pockets and bags to the security staff to the hand control.

On time to the dinner against 18:30 we appeared in the dining room. Because the occupancy kept to a certain extent, no scrum was also to be ascertained. Food was simple and plentiful, indeed, adapted of the Turkish kitchen, but prepared on the Central European taste. Therefore something was present for everybody. It si also do not forget - these are only four stars.

The drinks are not inexpensive rather - 3.50 euros which are to be paid with departure in the reception are due to a pint red wine. But, nevertheless, we still had our own reserves as a good night drink.

It was advantageous that is available in hotel lobby WLAN. With the code-word what one can ask in the reception one is " already in it ". Reception is only there - till the rooms it does not suffice of course. Therefore we could deal with our necessary mail transport.

Nevertheless, the evening could not be extended very much - for morning 6 o'clock reveille is announced - departure for 7:30.
