Antalya, Turkiye

[róisín_dubh]

I’ve been pretty absent here because, well, life. But I spent a few weeks in Türkiye over Christmas and New Years. Antalya is a fabulous and old city on the Mediterranean coast

Kaleiçi (old town and harbour, including Hadrian’s Gate)






Aspendos Greco-Roman amphitheatre


Perge Ancient City






Side Temple of Apollo


Lara Beach

4. There was much we couldn't do

As it’s winter and the mountain roads aren’t safe. But someday I’ll go back and explore some more.
Next stop, however, is either Egypt or Vietnam (at least for big trips).

5. Remarkable photography! Beautiful scenery, historic ruins. I really like No. 7, your shot of the cats

relaxing in the sunshine with their shadows showing and No. 14, the close-up of the dog (yours?) Thanks róisín_dubh!

6. Cats rule Trkiye I think.

They’re everywhere and mostly well cared for from the looks of it. I love cats, but am unfortunately rather allergic.
The dog, ah she broke my heart. I’m fairly certain she belonged to one of the security guys from the hotel next door. But I wanted to bring her home. She was so mellow.
I really loved Türkiye. The people are lovely, the food is amazing, and everywhere you look is something very ancient.
