My trip to Turkey

Traveling is the most exciting way to change yourself for the better. They broaden our horizons and change our life and attitude towards it, our priorities and values, and help us grow and develop. Traveling is the best education in the modern world!

Each country has its own traditions and culture. Thanks to travel, we not only learn the worlds of different countries, but also enrich knowledge about life in general. Traveling also gives us the opportunity to meet new interesting people, learn new languages ​​and develop our abilities. That is why, if I had the opportunity, I would travel all my life and travel around all the countries of the world!

The best and, perhaps, the only trip in my life was to Turkey. It was almost 8 years ago, but I remember everything as if it were yesterday, and these memories warm my soul. At that time, it was very popular to give free trips to various countries to families in which parents worked in law enforcement agencies and had three or more children. And I was very lucky, as my mother also got such a ticket to Turkey!

At first, I was a little scared: a foreign country, the first flight on an airplane, completely strangers around. But I very quickly threw these thoughts aside, because the view from the airplane window was simply breathtaking! We flew about 3 hours. During this time, I managed to consider how diverse the clouds are and how the cities glow with colorful lights at dusk. I had not noticed this before, but then I was convinced that it was the most fantastic time in my life!

I flew with a small group of children and one adult - our counselor. During the flight, we met a little closer and even made friends with several guys: we discussed common interests, shared our opinion about the upcoming trip and played cards.

Upon arrival, we boarded a large double-decker bus and headed straight to the hotel. The journey took us about 40 minutes. Of course, we were very tired, but there was so much interesting around that we immediately forgot about fatigue and began to examine the hotel grounds.
In addition to a luxurious exotic setting, the hotel had various attractions, two swimming pools - an adult and a children’s, a gift shop and a huge beach! Since the time was later, we decided that it would be logical to consider more closely after a good sleep, and we went to the numbers.

The first day in Turkey was simply unforgettable! We spent the whole day on the beach, swimming in the warm sea and sunbathing in the sun, eating sweet fruits and various traditional dishes. It’s even tastier than in Russia! In the evening, we watched the performance of live artists right at the hotel and sang songs by the fire.

A few days later we went on a tour. At first I thought that we would consider some sights, but the tour was a trip to the local market. And, you know, that didn’t upset me at all, because the prices there were very small! In the market you could find anything you like, from colorful and silk fabrics to all kinds of sweets. For my $ 100 that my mother allocated for the trip, I bought a lot of Turkish delight with different tastes and a lot of souvenirs. I especially liked the Turkish delight with the taste of a rose. I have never tried such yummy! I was impressed by the variety of products in this market and its peculiar beauty.

The remaining days we spent at the hotel. Initially, our trip was supposed to last 6 days and 7 nights, but something went wrong, and our return home was delayed for a couple of days. But it was very welcome! On the last day, we took a lot of photos and even managed to mess up our number, for which later we had to pay a fine of $ 35.

Overall, the trip to Turkey was just awesome! I had a great time and got a bunch of amazing emotions. I hope that one day I can come back here again or visit other countries. After all, travel is so beautiful!
