Entertainment
Resort Attractions
People come here primarily to relax from the noisy metropolis and to sunbathe on the beach in a relaxed atmosphere. But Konakli (Turkey) also has attractions, although their diversity is not very great.
Interesting. First of all, you should visit Sharapsan Khan - this is a caravanserai (in Russian it means “hotel”) was built in the 17th century on one of the roads of the Silk Road. Many travelers staying here, making their way from Europe to China.
The skill of medieval builders should be learned by many modern masters. The hotel was built very high quality and gives the impression of a fortress capable of withstanding a long siege. The stone walls fastened by limestone reach three meters in height, and the entire structure is supported by carved supports.
The huge area of \u200b\u200bthe caravanserai is divided into nine sections, each of which has its own special purpose - in one there is a hall with a fireplace, the other was used to keep cattle and animals that travelers came to, and a mosque is also located here.
Excursions to Sharapsan Khan
Another noteworthy attraction is the clock tower at the mosque. But you can get here only as part of an organized tour. Fans of hiking can be poisoned by the ruins of an ancient Roman village. The path lies through a pine grove, so aesthetic pleasure is definitely guaranteed.
Against the background of the whole of Turkey or Alanya, Konakli on sights is poor, but, nevertheless, there is something to occupy yourself in terms of entertainment.
Excursions and other activities at the resort
First of all, the resort is rich in orange and pine groves, palm alleys. Going to the outskirts of the village, you can see whole plantations of orange trees. If desired, you can climb the mountains with a professional guide.
Despite the poor list of nightclubs and discos, it was Konakli that became the place where people come from neighboring cities for entertainment. All thanks to the Summer Garden nightclub, which was opened back in 1991, and since then has been holding the palm among other discos located on the Turkish coast.
Aquapark
The club is recognized as one of the best for a reason. Its interior is simply stunning - tropical plants and huge aquariums with live exotic fish, a large pool and even its own artificial waterfall. The huge site with spotlights is divided into two parts - one located directly in the building, and the other in the open. But life in it begins with the sunset, therefore, having come here, one will have to forget about a dream.
The owners of the institution value the earned reputation very much, therefore they invite only the best DJs in Europe and world pop stars. Thanks to webcams, you can monitor what is happening in real time on the official website.
Excursion programs outside the city
Since there are few entertainments in the village, most tourists go for emotions and in search of excursion walks to the neighboring city of Alanya.
On a note. You can buy a tour directly at the hotel or at one of the local travel agencies.
Konakli beaches
Most of the beaches of the village are pebble, there are many boulders in the water, which makes swimming with children unsafe. Before traveling and booking a hotel, it is better to clarify questions regarding the beach, since there are very few really good ones and almost no sand ones.
The exception is the sandy “Turtle Beach”, which is owned by the restaurant “Conan Beach”, so it must be included in the list of places to visit. It is really a great beach, with beautiful sand and everything you need for a good vacation. A gentle descent into the water makes it safe to swim with children, and the coastline of the beach at 800 meters ensures the absence of fuss and noise. The fee for a one-time visit is only 10 lire *, when buying a subscription a 50% discount is made.
Important!When making an order at Conan Beach, you can stay on the beach for free all day.

Shopping as one of the entertainments
Surprisingly, one of Konakl's entertainment is shopping. This is a vibrant town with cafes and restaurants, but coffee houses have a special place in his life, where you can try aromatic coffee brewed according to traditional Turkish recipes. Here on the street are a variety of souvenir shops, small shops with a variety of goods and other institutions that form entire shopping arcades. Here you can buy interesting gizmos.
Note! Turks are born traders, so tourists are overpriced for tourists. No need to be afraid to bargain, another thing can be bought for 10% of the initial cost.
Under the clock tower, mentioned earlier, is a cozy watch shop. Thus, the attraction attracts buyers. The owner, no doubt, knows a lot about marketing and PR-moves. But the most interesting begins on Wednesday, when the main square turns into a real oriental bazaar. It’s worth going here not only for shopping, but just to feel the flavor of Turkish life.
The market is full of offers. Oriental sweets and cheap fruits, a variety of meat delicacies and seafood. Here you can buy almost everything, including rare handicrafts, which are very much appreciated in Europe. So, for little money in the outback, real national goods are purchased, which can then be resold much more expensive.

Useful information for tourists
Going to Konakli, you should remember that this is a Turkish city, so you should not photograph local residents, even if they look very colorful. When visiting a restaurant or cafe, you need to leave a tip - about 10% of the total cost of the order. So you can arrange the waiters and get good service on your next visit.
Separately, it is worth taking care of the money. It’s better to take cash with you. The resorts accept both Turkish lira and euros, as well as dollars. It is also quite possible to pay here in Russian rubles, but the rate will not be entirely profitable. It is better to acquire dollars, since on the market what is sold for 5 euros can be bought for 5 dollars, which is much more profitable.
There is also one valuable piece of advice for lovers of card payments and cash withdrawals from ATMs - you don’t need to withdraw money after the bank closes: if the ATM “eats” the card, it will be more difficult to return it the next day than with direct contact.
Turkish ATMs do not give back the card if the operation lasts a long time. He “thinks” that the owner simply forgot it, and “swallows” the card.
This is a quiet town suitable for a relaxing family vacation. There are not a huge number of offers for leisure activities, but a minimum of entertainment, a good beach and the hospitality of the Turks can be found here.
In Turkey, there are many large resort cities where a motley crowd of holidaymakers stormed the local cultural monuments, shops, hotels, pools almost the whole year. Here you can have a lot of fun and interesting time, get a lot of positive emotions.
True, many city dwellers, tired of the hustle and bustle in their native lands, going on vacation, long for peace and tranquility. In this case, Konakli is a great option where you can simply enjoy the sun and the sea, and to yearn for the joys of civilization, if it suddenly arises, quench in neighboring Alanya.
