    The seaside street along the marina is a one-way street from city center to Bardakci beach, so that's why taxi driver couldn't use that street to bring you back. But he could have dropped you off at a closer location to the castle.

    Hi Olga,i am an avid follower of your most interesting and informative videos.What I appreciate most is the fact that you mention prices /costs of goods and services,which in turn helps future Tourists or relocators/retirees as far as affordability is concerned.Because Antalya and or Alanya have been on my radar for a little while. If it’s not too much trouble,
    I would appreciate it if you could find out and advise me of the current costs of employing an individual to look after someone on a full time basis,that has perhaps developed Alzheimers or another disease and can no longer look after themselves and hence this requirement becomes necessary.
    Needless to say that not everyone that relocates or retires in a new country has a partner and the dilemma starts when you get hit with health issues and you may not have anyone to look after you. What do you do then ???

    • @OlgaProGoingPlaces

    The entrance and the conditions of the public beach was unbelievably bad. It is embarrassing that Turkish people are treated this way in their own country. I think that hotel should be demolished and beach should be given completely to public. Corruption in this kind of touristic places is rampant. They probably rented the land from the city for 50 years for cheap after bribing come city officials.

    Ah Ha! You finally got hit with a "Service charge"!! I mentioned in your previous video that a few Istanbul restaurants do that at different amounts. I got hit with this "service fee" 4 times so far. One of them defended it by saying they give the money to their employees & that it's normal to charge service fee for "fine dining". It's just rubbish to get more money for poor quality food & nothing-service. The "service fee" they charge can buy at least a supermarket food or drink. 10% of your total bill, 16.40 lira, 30 lira of the bill. It's whatever they like to charge. And food reviews on Google never mention the service charges. So I give negative reviews to such restaurants so that people are aware when they read the Google reviews.//For the beaches, there is a Turkish news report that the beaches are supposed to be free & open to everyone but these companies charge money & block up the area (which is not allowed). But there is nothing stopping these hotels & companies from hogging the beaches for themselves.///Wow, 533.50 lira?!! I haven't spent that much at a restaurant in Istanbul for 2 persons. Anything above 200 is already expensive by Turkish standards.
