TURKIYE #9: ATTRACTIVE ANTALYA

Posted on by

Once an old fishing village, Antalya is currently the fourth-most visited city in the world, trailing behind only London, Istanbul, and Dubai. Eclectic architectural styles, both old and new, reflect more than 2,000 years of history in Antalya’s walled Old Town and extremely popular international seaside resort.

The following are scenes photographed along the harbor and in Old Town during our three nights and two days in Antalya:

Along the harbor front, this cat condo was home to stray cats that were cared for by a city employee.
There was another one up in town– a triplex.
We were there during late spring, a perfect time to enjoy the beautiful weather and colorful bougainvillea.
Our hotel had a beautiful patio and outdoor restaurant surrounded by bougainvillea and morning glories (below). This is our group; Nuri, our tour leader, is in the front on the right.

We had a lovely evening enjoying a Turkish dinner at the home of a young couple and their daughter, along with two other couples from our group and a translator.

The following evening, our group dined al fresco with a gorgeous view below:
