Turkey, Side, June 2017

In Side on summer in 2017 hotel prices rather expensive so i've been living in average or common level 3-4* star hotel called Hera, it was in third line from sea coast, only 4min to walk to the sea.

First line hotel Barut Cennet that next to Hera Park was 6or 7 times expansive, Hera is much loyal to people who travelled, it has full board food table. So i don't need to pay extra money eating outside, the things like wine&beer are also free.

This 2017 year i was rather surprise by local prices on beer it's rise up for the same price as European countries. On first day after registration in hotel, and all days i've been enjoy sunbathing and sea swimming.

Sea swimming is one of my favourite sport when it's more 47C degrees outside. the heat waves usually starts at 10 in morning and temperature is high till 6-7 O'clock  in evening. When you or if you're coming from western Europe can be fit to walk or to do something under the sun.


Turkey is much about agricultural country and local trade, I've been in Turkey 4-5 times before, so turkish people are very familiar to me, but not yet language is much common with Uzbek, Tatarian or Eastern asian like Arabic. Many people of eastern russian province can speak Turkish, but for me it sound 2 much Asian.

This is typical market street in Turkey where sellers trying to sell local made stuff to tourists, just you should remember all depends from your own view.

This is East.. Sellers don't have a fix price, they look where are you from and name his own price it could be 10 times higher than in shopping center, all depends from your own talent to offer your own price on a souvenir, or clothes.

Turkish people are not fond of the artists, and there was a talks about paying to smbdy while i paint.

I also admit that drivers in Turkey are  wild uncultural people who stop the car on my way

in this photo car stop accurate behind my tripod and than driver came out and went to the shop for 20 min.

this was a several examples of Turkish manners.




















But if you came from Russia, you had an immunity from maybe worst examples boorishness, or rude behavior, because simply what you can meet in Moscow, you've count a sad incident.
Turkey has low culture yet, because of its Muslim tradition to demolish and destroy ancient and Byzantine architecture goods and sculpture, simply they descendents of Arabs who destroy the high cultural but non violent civilisation.

Turkey wants to join European Union but in order of how they care of their own cultural heritage their true ambition should be to educate themselves from middle east savages  to keepers of ancient Byzantine that was High Develope mother of Roman Empire.
