I ruined my holiday in this Antalya: a Polish tourist was shocked in a 5-star hotel crammed with Russians

“Little Moscow” and Russians are everywhere in Turkey – and the hotel staff is absolutely not going to “accept other tourists at a high level so that they would feel comfortable” – she shared such suffering on the pages of the Polish edition Podroze Onet, another Polish tourist Agnieszka. “I ruined my vacation in this Antalya,” complained a Polish woman who had a rest in a hotel “crammed with Russians.”

Following the previous Polish woman, who “suffered” in “little Moscow” near Alanya (read the details here), the publication shared the report of a Polish tourist who hoped so much that “Kemal should have driven the Russians out in case of victory.” “However, his opponent Erdogan won, which means that in Turkey it will be the old fashioned way – Russian tourists will still be welcomed with open arms,” the tourist said. According to her, she tried to make a strong-willed decision that she would not spoil her vacation and “not pay attention to the behavior of Russian tourists.” But alas, Russian flags fluttered all over the hotel, Russians were “high” and were everywhere, and the staff gave the suffering Pole a lot of unpleasant moments, since she, with her “Slavic beauty”, as the author of the letter assures, was invariably mistaken for Russian.< /p>

“If the Turks say that they do not want a massive influx of Russians, it should be noted that it is mainly about settling down and buying real estate. In turn, Russian tourists are treated like kings. At least, this is the impression I got during a week-long stay in a popular resort,” said the tourist Agnieszka. According to her, from the moment I crossed the threshold of the hotel lobby, everyone greeted her in Russian. “I don’t understand why, before saying the famous “health”, they don’t ask “where are you from?” – neutrally, in English, “where are you from” … Do they also want to please Russian tourists? ”, – the Pole is indignant. She was similarly annoyed by the waiters who tried to speak Russian with her – one was completely surprised that they really don’t speak Russian in Poland. Agnieszka also found an English version of the tour only on a separate request from the guide, a Russian group performed at the disco … Even the traditional gesture of courtesy – Russian flags hung out by the hotel infuriated her.

“I got the impression that there were no Poles in the hotel. All Russians, especially Russian influencers, who were probably invited to cooperate with the object. “One of the top travel blogs in Russia” – I read in every second social network on profiles whose owners have noted the location of the hotel. Everywhere Russians and everywhere the Russian language – on the menu, in the hotel and outside it, on billboards, signs, on all instructions, just everywhere. In Turkey, “little Moscow” is everywhere, especially where there are tourists,” the Polish woman finally complained. Which is generally logical, since the population of all of Poland is a little more than three times the official population of Moscow alone.

In the end, leaving Turkey, she “experienced a sense of relief.” “It was probably my worst vacation in many ways… Finally, I don't have to explain to anyone where I come from and why I speak this language. I don't have to explain that Poland and Russia are two completely different countries with different, though sometimes similar, languages for foreigners. A real nightmare,” summed up the tourist Agnieszka.
