Has anyone been to Aska Lara in Turkey?

[LaurenM1997]

Just wondering cause I am going there on Saturday and was wondering if the food there was good or is it bad?

[KostasKouvalis]

Are you, really?

I've been to Antalya, but I stayed in the Best Western. No idea how the food is in the resort, but the food in town and in general all around Turkey was actually quite disappointing. I hate to admit this, but European versions of Turkish food are better. I also got a really bad case of the shits from one of the fast food places there.

I would personally avoid eating in the tourist areas, because those fuckers will scam you, and the food isn't even that good.

And 100% avoid Kaleiçi Kebapçısı in Old Town. Bald mother fucker charged me 660 Lira for a 100 Lira dish, and that was before inflation. DO NOT pay with credit card and avoid any fuckers soliciting you to their restaurants. And watch out at Lara Beach too, they'll try to get you to rent a bed. And if you need to take a taxi somewhere have your hotel arrange it for you and tell them exactly where you want to go and how much it will cost.

I don't know if that was helpful, but that's the best I can give you.

You must be pretty rich to be staying in a hotel like that.

[LaurenM1997]

I think we are just planning on staying at hotel but will go to the main bit wet’n wild sometimes

[KostasKouvalis]

So, let me get this straight. You're traveling to one of the most fascinating countries in the world, to chill at a hotel?

[LaurenM1997]

Well yeah we are

[LaurenM1997]

We’re not going to explore we are there to relax and sunbathe

[KostasKouvalis]

That's so typical of Europeans😂
How long are you going for?
Who you going with?

[LaurenM1997]

I’m going for a week with my fam

[KostasKouvalis]

Well have fun chilling at the beach/resort then :p

[KostasKouvalis]

You don't want to? You don't have that kind of stuff in Scotland

[bowenw]

Sadly no. Have fun. Please feel free to share any pics you take.

[LaurenM1997]

Thanks ☺️

[bowenw]

Thank you for the MHO. 😊
Enjoy your trip!

[Veles]

I didn't stay at that hotel but I went to Turkey a few times. Good luck with the scammers, and pervs who secretly take pictures of you on the beach.

[LaurenM1997]

Not leaving hotel so won’t be any of those

[Veles]

So you're going on vacation just to sit in a hotel room, interesting.

[KostasKouvalis]

@Veles That's exactly what I said but it's HER money.

Only really met one pervert, but the scammers are EVERYWHERE, and they completely ruined what otherwise was a really incredible trip. Then Turks are surprised that they're so disliked.

[KostasKouvalis]

I've noticed Europeans don't seem to care about cities or ancient ruins. I met one Scottish guy there, who said he'd been three previous times, and this was the first time he actually decided to take a tour and see some of the sites.

[LaurenM1997]

Not to sit in a room go into pool and stuff ….

[KostasKouvalis]

They don't have swimming pools in the UK? For goodness sakes, you at the very least should see the beach and the waterfall.

[Veles]

@KostasKouvalis It seems to me that she will be watching Netflix in her room and eating nothing except hotel food during her entire vacation lolz.

[KostasKouvalis]

What did YOU see/do?

[LaurenM1997]

No I won’t be sitting in the room and watching Netflix if you read my actual comments instead of posting stuff that isn’t true @Veles

[ellefia]

Yes I went there, the food is amazing, I'm sure you will be satisfied

[LaurenM1997]

Yay ☺️

[ellefia]

☺️☺️

[TonyMetal___86]

They are good in making kebab sandwiches 😌 but for sure not all the restaurants there makes it the same, one might be tasty, the other average and some others might be a yuck!

Enjoy your trip miss Lauren 😌

[LaurenM1997]

Thanks I am excited even though it’s my first time in Antalya ☺️ the rest of my fam has been several occasions my brother has been to this resort so hope it’s good

[TonyMetal___86]

Enjoy your time and be happy, also go easy on your baby's heart 😊

[LaurenM1997]

Thanks I will do ☺️

[TommyMountainFigure]

No I haven't, but I hope you have a great time :D

[DrPepper12]

No but I REALLY wanna see Gobel Teke excavations. It's rewriting human history as we speak!

[worldscolide]

Unfortunately I have never left the US.

[LaurenM1997]

Oh dear so much to see here in Scotland you’d love it here

[worldscolide]

Scotland and Ireland, As well as Italy are on my bucket list to visit, as my heritage comes from all there places.

[elaphe]
