Rent a Car

If you need a car for the entire holiday, it is convenient to rent it directly at Antalya Airport. For one-time trips around the surrounding area - to the ruins of Aspendos and Perge, in Side or shopping centers, it is better to take advantage of the hotel's offer - there is a rental office in almost all of them. The lowest prices are in local companies. An economy class Renault Clio car here will cost 214 TRY per day or 1400 TRY per week. You can pay in cash, but in this case you will have to leave a cash deposit of 600-2800 TRY. There are also offices of international Avis and Europcar in Belek. Renting a car of a similar class is more expensive here - 417 and 1800 TRY, respectively, but you don’t have to worry about its technical condition.

The cost of a liter of A-95 gasoline is 6.25 TRY, diesel fuel is 5.50-5.90 TRY. The fine for speeding is 154-90 TRY, for parking under a prohibitory sign - from 70 TRY, for not wearing a seat belt - 50-70 TRY.

All parking in Belek is free, and there are almost no traffic jams. Local police practice installing portable radars on the roads to detect speeding. At some distance behind them there is a mobile post that stops and mercilessly fines violators. For those who do not know Turkish, the police have prepared a “cheat sheet” in English.

Communication and Wi-Fi

To save on calls to Russia, you should purchase a SIM card from local operators cellular communications. The largest Turkcell offers the largest coverage area in Turkey. Vodafone has good coverage in cities and resorts, but in rural areas you may be left without communication. The large coverage area and affordable prices of the Avea operator have made it popular among young people and tourists. SIM cards are sold in operator offices, supermarkets and newsstands for 10-30 TRY. At the same time, a tariff package worth 10-50 TRY is purchased, which includes a certain number of minutes of calls and Internet traffic. With the Alo Avrupa tariff package from Avea (29 TRY), a call to Russia costs only 0.17 TRY per minute.

According to Turkish laws, a phone imported into the country must be registered at the operator’s office, which costs 150 TRY. Otherwise, after 60 days the local SIM card will be blocked.

You can call Russia from street payphones using Turk Telecom cards, which are sold in all stores. A card worth 50 TRY is enough for 60 minutes of calls to landlines or 30 minutes to mobile phones. Free WI-Fi is available in all hotels, in most restaurants, cafes and bars, and on many beaches.

Belek Hotels

The pride and main attraction of Belek is the five-star hotels lined up on the first line. Each one is similar to small state with its own territory, beach, swimming pools and a bunch of everything necessary for complete detachment from the outside world. True, living in such a country is not cheap - at the peak of the season, a double room costs at least 920 TRY per day. As an undeniable bonus - all-inclusive meals.

4* hotels are almost as good as their more “star” counterparts. Their main disadvantage is their distance from the sea. And although everyone has their own beach, you have to either walk (10-15 minutes) or take the hotel’s free shuttle to get there. The all-inclusive rate is TRY 855 per night. This is probably why rooms in “four-star” hotels are the most scarce in Belek.

3* hotels in Belek can be counted on the fingers of one hand. They are located a 10-minute drive from the sea, and a room with full board costs from 420 TRY. Despite the modest prices and small areas, hotels always have a restaurant and a swimming pool.

Beaches

The 16 km long coastal strip of Belek is almost completely divided between 5* hotels. Their wide beaches with golden sand and a gentle slope into the sea are framed on one side by pine and eucalyptus forests, on the other by the clear blue sea. Every evening the sand is cleaned and leveled with special machines. The beach infrastructure includes a lifeguard service, canopies and sun umbrellas, racks with beach towels, sun loungers, changing rooms, showers, toilets, cafes and minibars. Guests of all-inclusive hotels can use all this completely free of charge.

“Strangers” from other hotels are easily recognized by the color of their bracelets and are resolutely expelled by security.

For hotel guests on the second line and the residents of Belek themselves, there are two public beaches - in the east and west of the coastal strip. You can get to them by dolmus, which run every 30 minutes, or by free shuttles from hotels. The cleanliness and infrastructure of these beaches is not much inferior to “five-star” beaches. True, you have to pay separately for umbrellas, sun loungers, lunch in a cafe, cocktails in a bar and other beach pleasures. But there are football and volleyball courts, picnic areas in the shade of pine trees, karting tracks and a variety of water activities - windsurfing, kiting, jet skis, bananas and bagels. Renting an umbrella and two sun loungers on a public beach - 43 TRY per day, banana boat ride - 56 TRY, parasailing behind a boat - about 200 TRY.

Shopping

Respectable Belek - not the most cheap place for shopping. Prices here are about 25% higher than in neighboring Antalya. You can go shopping without leaving the hotel premises - each of them has shops, boutiques and souvenir shops. It’s even better to go to the village of Belek itself. Its streets are, in fact, one large counter with a huge selection of jewelry, high-quality clothing made of leather, fur, and textiles. There is an unusually large assortment of blouses, jeans, tops, skirts and, of course, swimsuits.

Local specialty - shops with clothing, accessories and golf sports equipment.

In addition to Turkish brands, there are also world brands, but their prices are excessively high. Many stores represent well-known Turkish retail chains such as LC Waikiki. Almost every one has Russian-speaking staff. You can pay in Turkish lira, dollars, euros and even rubles.

With such an abundance of shops, it is difficult to leave Belek without souvenirs. Among the most popular are all kinds of ceramics, Turkish sweets, embroidered slippers with curved toes, coffee pots with a copper bottom, fruit teas and traditional tulip-shaped glasses for them. On Saturdays from 9:00 to 15:00 a bazaar is held on the streets radiating from the mosque. There is a brisk trade in fruits and vegetables on Mehmet Akif Ersoy Caddesi, and things on Ataturk Caddesi Street. The initial price, as elsewhere in the East, is conditional, but the sellers of Belek, accustomed to wealthy buyers, are reluctant to make concessions.

Cuisine and restaurants

It is difficult to go hungry in all-inclusive hotels in Belek. But sooner or later, many people have a desire to break out of these tenacious embraces. For this purpose there are “a la carte” restaurants, the menu of which includes best dishes world cuisine - from Turkish and European to Japanese and Mexican. But don’t forget - Belek resort is very expensive, and prices in such restaurants are steep. A romantic dinner with signature dishes from the chef, with sea views and wine will cost 300-500 TRY per person.

Even if a service charge is included in the bill of an a la carte restaurant, this money is unlikely to reach the waiter. Therefore, tipping is quite appropriate.

Affordable prices and authentic cuisine can be found outside the hotels. There are several in the center of Belek interesting restaurants and cafes that enjoy a high reputation among tourists. One of the most popular is Adana Ocakbasi, which specializes in meat dishes. Particularly good in it are chicken kebab “tavuk shish-kebab”, fried wings “kanat izgara”, lamb ribs “kaburga-kebab” and, especially for vegetarians, vegetable “sebzeli-kebab”. Lunch here will cost a quite humane 100 TRY. Deniz restaurant serves fish and seafood, and Pinokyo serves lasagna (30 TRY) and spaghetti (20-23 TRY), and is no worse than in Italy itself. You can have a snack on the go by buying a bagel with sesame seeds (2-3 TRY) or doner kebab - fried meat wrapped in a flatbread (10-12 TRY) from street vendors.

Entertainment and attractions in Belek

It is wrong to believe that Belek is exclusively beach holiday. 30 km from it lie the ruins of ancient Perge, founded by the Achaean Greeks who fled from the defeated Troy. Just like 2000 years ago, the entrance to it lies through the South Gate with huge round towers. From them begins a street with a colonnade leading to the agora, where public meetings once took place and the incendiary speeches of the Apostle Paul were heard. Under the rule of Rome and the patronage of the goddess Artemis - “Queen of Perge”, the city experienced its heyday. A significant part of its buildings belong to this era: baths, remains of temples and fortress walls, a nymphery, a theater and the largest stadium in Asia Minor.

From the Eastern Gate of Perge begins the road to ancient Sillion, which lies on a plateau about 80 m high. This city of ancient Pamphylia has hardly been touched by an archaeologist’s shovel and, turning off the beaten path, it’s easy to feel like Indiana Jones. In 1969, Sillion was heavily damaged by a landslide, which demolished part of the amphitheater; caution should be taken when visiting it.

The Aspendos Amphitheater, 18 km from Belek, is perfectly preserved. By its gigantic size one can judge how large this city was in ancient times. Today, plays and concerts are still staged on the 2,000-year-old stage. Behind the amphitheater, further down the mountainside, the ruins of an agora, baths and basilica are scattered. And below on the plain you can see the largest aqueduct in Anatolia, “built by the slaves of Rome.”

The hit of the season is the annual International Opera and Ballet Festival, where the best theater groups in the world perform.

Aspendos lies in the lower reaches of the Köprüçay River, which in its upper reaches makes its way through a picturesque mountain canyon. At its narrowest point, the ancient Roman bridge Oluk, 27 m high, spans it. Köprüçay - popular place rafting (price from the hotel with transfer, lunch and insurance - from 140 TRY; on site about 10% cheaper). The descent begins 100 m from the Roman bridge, where the river, expanding, forms a quiet backwater. The length of the route is about 11 km, the difficulty category is 2-3 points on the international scale.

6 things to do in Belek

1. Enjoy the sea, sun and clean air on one of best resorts Turkish Riviera.
2. Polish your heels on the varied sand of the local beaches, which burns on a hot afternoon and gives you coolness if you dig deeper.
3. Taste the delicious trout, which is found in abundance in the local Köprüçay river and, accordingly, is often served to the table of tourists arriving in Belek.
4. Admire the Köprülü Canyon, which stretches along the river for 14 km. By the way, this is just one of seven picturesque gorges formed by a mountain river.
5. Go to a semi-wild beach 8 km from the city, which belongs to the Robinson Club hotel and, if you’re lucky, go for a walk accompanied by a guide in the picturesque surroundings.
6. Dare to go rafting - however, with experienced instructors, the water adventure promises to be more exciting than truly dangerous.

Spa centers

The names of many hotels in Belek contain the word “spa”, indicating that their guests can recover from their rooms in slippers and a bathrobe for relaxation and restoration of mental strength. However, customers “from the street” will also be welcome here.

The spa at the resort cannot be called cheap, but some hotels include some procedures in the list of free services. In addition to regular spa care, thalassotherapy is actively used here. Algae, mud and sea water intensively saturate the skin with microelements, speed up metabolism, strengthen the immune system and promote weight loss.

Cost of treatments at the spa center of the Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort&Spa: hot stone massage - 400 TRY, foam massage in the hammam - 180 TRY, seaweed wrap - 440 TRY, thermal lifting - 600 TRY, facial or chest treatment - 320 TRY.

The treatment programs contain the most popular courses: “Anti-cellulite”, “Weight loss”, “Anti-stress”, “Anti-tobacco”, “Detox”, “Anti-allergy”, “Young mother”. Their optimal duration is 6-10 days. Among the most effective procedures: Balinese massage, intensive Shiroabhyanga massage, which has a positive effect on the hormonal system and is especially recommended after childbirth, Charcot's shower and fusion massage under jets sea ​​water with variable pressure and the use of aromatic oils. Turkish baths, many of which are quite worthy of Ottoman sultans, add an oriental flavor to spa centers.

Golf in Belek

Belek quite rightly claims the right to be called the golf capital of Turkey. Its 8 golf clubs meet the highest global standards and are designed to natural beauty the local landscape. One of the best is the National Golf Club (office site in English), with two courses of 18 and 9 holes, built to host international tournaments. It has repeatedly occupied honorary positions in various ratings, including 4th place in the “List of the 100 Best Golf Courses in the World.” National is intended primarily for professional players, and its high status is confirmed by a strict dress code and corresponding prices (2400 TRY for two for 6 hours of training).

The golf season in Belek begins in September, continues throughout the winter and ends with the onset of the summer heat.

Beginners can take a closer look at Tat Golf Belek International Golf Club, where special express programs have been developed for those who pick up a club for the first time.

Belek for children

A visit to the Troy water park in Belek with children is the sacred duty of every self-respecting parent. It is truly made in the style of Homer's Troy - with towers, walls, a legendary wooden horse 25 m high, antique amphorae and animators dressed and armed in ancient Greek. Every day it is besieged by thousands of tourists from all the surrounding resorts. True, unlike its prototype, the modern “Troy” opens the gates to everyone who has paid for admission (the price of an adult/child ticket is 370/about 200 TRY). In addition to a variety of slides for children and adults, waterfalls, pools with standing waves and other attractions, there is a dolphinarium in the park. At 11:00 and 14:30 there is a show with dolphins, sea lions and walruses. For 170 TRY you can take a photo with a dolphin, and for another 500 TRY you can ride on it.

Mild winters, plenty of sunny warm days and indoor swimming pools help maintain a constant flow of tourists even in the low season. From the end of October to May, hotels are filled with golfers - at this time the weather is simply ideal for them. But in the evening a warm jacket may come in handy.

I have returned to Turkey for the fourth time. I came to Antalya for the first time in 2010, and I want to emphasize that every time I get to know this country from a new side. Trips to Turkey are always full of vivid impressions, hospitality and national flavor. This time, my friend and I bought a tour completely spontaneously - it was difficult to refuse the offer, and I had been wanting to relax for a long time. Having packed everything we needed for two days, we waited at the airport for our flight in anticipation. The excitement was pleasant, because we were flying to a resort that was previously unfamiliar to us - Belek. Unlike Alanya, where, as the travel agent stated more than once, the hotels are economy class and generally simpler, Belek promised us an incredible premium vacation in a beautiful room overlooking the sea.

Airports near Belek

The vast majority of tourists and those who simply need to travel to Belek fly into the main international airport of Antalya. In addition to it, there are several other regional airports, but their connections are mostly local.

If you plan your trip in advance, you can avoid many unwanted nuances. This time, although we bought the ticket in a hurry, we finally decided to try to rent a car for free movement around the outskirts of Belek. We didn’t regret it at all, because along the way we got to enjoy incredible scenery and be left to our own devices, we got to the Kursunle waterfall (about 20 km away) - we really liked it! We booked a car the day before departure. We worried in advance about good roaming during the trip, so booking a car was not difficult. Prices and conditions for this service can be found on special resources on the Internet. You can rent a car here or on other similar sites.
