Great trip beginning with Lara waterfall which is a river flowing down to the sea. A beautiful view 💕 Secondly, we went to the market to see Sultan Diamond 💎 which changes it’s color due to the light. This treasure can only be seem in Turkey. 3rd photo is a cruise tour from Antalya’s Old town. It was so exciting and we took so many photos with beautiful ocean backgrounds.

Gazibegendi Park - Kusadasi, Turkey

Gazibegendi Park is a place where you can see all Kusadasi town from a hill. It is a beautiful spot to take pictures and have a nice, very reasonably priced, meal in the cafe owned by the Kusadasi Municipality with an amazing view. When you arrive to the park, the first thing you see is the statue of Ataturk, sitting and looking at the view. It is very impressive. One of the best moments of the day to see the view from the hill at sunset. So many travelers are going there at sunset to take pictures and enjoy the wonderful scenery. #mountainview #themepark #cafe #summervacation #beaches #staycation #awesomepic

NOT WORTH A SECOND SHOT :(

I tried this coffee shop/ restaurant last year in 2020 as most locals and foreigners in Antalya come here. Back then the experience with food and drinks was awful (ordered a salad and Turkish tea as clear as water). Recently in 2021 I’m back in Antalya and told myself to give it another shot. I ordered San Sebastián Cheesecake and it was very hard and dense. Chocolate syrup was obviously reheated again and again and mixed with water to liquify. Turkish tea this had more color but still tastes like water :( It was not worth another try. #food #cheesecake #antalya #wintergetaway #tigeryear2022 #staycation #beachlife

Antalya - Turkey

Antalya is one of the most attractive tourist cities in Turkey because of its unique geographical location on the Mediterranean coast. Antalya has beautiful natural places and historical sites. The region covers 600 kilometres of coastline with gorgeous sandy beaches, hidden coves and beautiful bays. Antalya is the country’s second biggest tourist destination after Istanbul. Antalya is not only about beaches, it is also a classically beautiful city, rich with history and traditional Turkish food. The city is bustling with markets, shopping malls, fancy hotels, cafés, restaurants, bars, beach clubs and etc. There’s so much to discover in this sunny, seaside city such as: Old Town (Kaleici), Old Harbor, Hadrian’s Gate, Perge Ruins, Aspendos Ruins and Theatre, Termessos Ruins, Duden Waterfalls and many more. #historicplaces

Upper Duden Waterfall - Antalya, Turkey

The Duden Waterfalls are one of the most visited sights around Antalya city center. Duden Waterfalls is a group of waterfalls, there are Upper Duden Waterfall and Lower Duden Waterfall. The Upper Duden Waterfall is pretty impressive and it is located in a beautiful national park Duden at a distance of 12 km from the Antalya city center. It is easy to get there by taxi or a city bus. The Upper Duden Waterfall can be seen from behind too as there is a cave where tourists have access. The view is really impressive! There are also few restaurants just next to the waterfall where you can sit and enjoy the view. #themepark

Hadrian’s Gate - Antalya, Turkey

Every tourist coming to Antalya should see this beautiful monument of ancient architecture. Located on Ataturk Boulevard in Antalya’s city center, Hadrian’s Gate is a stunning historic ruin which was built in the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who visited the city in the year 130. Hadrian’s Gate is one of the main entrance’s to the Old Town (Kaleici), the city’s beautiful historic quarter. I highly recommend to spend one day in Antalya city center and visit the Old Town (Kaleici), Old Harbor, Karaalioglu Park and Hadrian’s Gate at once because they’re all located in the walking distance from each other. #historicplaces

Lara Beach - Antalya

Lara Beach is one of the most visited beaches in the whole Antalya province. It is 15 km long beach, but only 2 km on the west side are public areas. The rest is owned by 5 stars luxury hotels! The western beach section which is 2 km is public and free of charge. There are shower cabins, restrooms, changing rooms on the beach and if you need sun-bed and umbrella it is easy to find them along the beach for a small fee. Lara Beach offers all kinds of beach & water activities. You can enjoy paragliding, kitesurfing, windsurfing, jet skiing, and catamaran or banana boat rides. There are plenty of beach clubs, restaurants, cafés and shops along the beach. You will always find something to do there! #beachlife

Walk down memories lane #aramistemple #visitturkey

Going to Antalya to feel the sunshine of the Mediterranean Antalya, is a beautiful coastal city on the Mediterranean side, with blue-green emerald-colored water in the port of the town, with a bright eye and A variety of hospitable locals. In addition to the superior natural environment, there is the Antalya Archaeological Museum, which displays various artifacts from the Paleolithic and Ottoman Empires, including the Apollo statue, the sculpture of the son of Zeus, Hercules, and the still intact Turkish for 400 years. The hand-made carpets are stunning, and the museums introduction also reveals the history of Santas living in Antalya.

Turkey|Antalya Antalya is a port city in southern Turkey. It was built in the second century BC. During the Eastern Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire, it was already one of the important ports in the Eastern Mediterranean, so the whole The ancient city has a deep trace of history. The climate is still typical of the Mediterranean climate. However, there are about 300 sunny days in a year. The annual sunshine is sufficient. The once important economic and trade port has now become a tourist city, except for historical sites. You can swim and surf in the summer, and you can go skiing in the winter. The small city can receive tens of thousands of tourists a year, far below the price of Europe, but it has all the elements that other Mediterranean resorts should have, so here Basically one of the cities that Turkey must travel to.

The scenery of the pier is attracting us, so we slowly walk towards the beach. Antalya is located on the Mediterranean coast, where the coast is like an emerald. The dock is docked with a wide variety of boats, and the free-spirited friends should be much cheaper on board the cruise. There are many types of cruise ships, and the appearance is also very strange. There are all kinds of pirates, which are very fun. In addition to the cruise ship, I also saw some small yachts and simple fishing boats, which should be used for fishing. It is conceivable that the morning in the morning should be full of fishermen and very lively. There is a long dam at the dock, sitting here to enjoy the scenery, listening to the sea breeze, so good. There are a lot of lovely people near the wharf , who are ashamed to ask the tourists who want to take photos with you, the old people who are dedicated to fishing, the humorous and hustle and bustle of the boatman, etc. They add a beautiful landscape to the coast. The scenery is beautiful, but to remind the little friends, there are all kinds of melon seeds here. The Turks really like to eat roasted seeds and nuts and nuts. It is a happy life for them to enjoy the shells. As a Chinese, we must travel to ensure our own quality.

This is the landmark of the Library of Celsus, which is also the attraction of a large number of travel enthusiasts who like us to appreciate and explore a history that is not hidden: this year only allowed men to enter. The library, originally hidden inside a tunnel leading to the brothel, provides an excuse for men to return to the land they are really interested in. The wife also thought that her man could study tirelessly in the library for a whole day. The size of the library was then the second largest in Asia Minor. It had a collection of 12,000 books, second only to the city of Bergama. The building faces the east, so the reading room can make the most of the morning light. The library has survived fires and earthquakes, and its front door is still standing. The most recent renovation was in 1970. The four goddesses are clearly visible in the porch of the gate, behind the stone pillars, representing wisdom, destiny, learning, and virtue. Currently seen as a replica, the authenticity is hidden in the Vienna Museum in Austria.

The romantic St. John's Church is a very old Gothic church in the old town. On the way to the Old Town Square from the Palace Castle, you can see the beautiful St. John's Church. This Gothic building, with its dark red spires towering high, is very different from the surrounding architecture. The top of the church, arranged in red and pink, looks like a huge harp, which is particularly eye-catching. In addition to the exquisite and beautiful appearance, the history of this church is also quite legendary. It used to be a very old building. It was born in the 13th century and has been transformed into a larger scale. However, unfortunately, the church was destroyed by fighters during World War II. The church that I see now is rebuilt by the descendants according to the style of the church that year. The entire church is red in appearance and is decorated in a classic style. Especially with a historical background about it, there is an inexplicable tribute to it. It not only brings together the wisdom of the local people, but also the people's good wishes for peace. Next to the church in St. John, there is also a Temple of Grace Temple. Although the two seem to be closely intertwined, the styles are quite different. Next to the Temple of Grace Temple is the late Renaissance, it seems a lot simple, but the "Angel's Gate" carving on the door of the church is amazing, the whole sculpture is exquisite, and it is only wonderful. The interior of the church is bright and elegant. Many newcomers will hold weddings here, which shows that in the eyes of local people, they still have a very high status.

This is a unique existence because it spans three seas (Turkey "Desert Sea", Mediterranean Sea, Love Sea). Overlooking the beauty of the emerald coastline in the sky, I am so impressed by the beauty. The color of the sea varies with the depth, like the palette that God overturned. The same salt is very high here. People with large buoyancy can basically float naturally. Friends who can't swim can also try it. Although the buoyancy is not comparable to the Dead Sea in Israel, the sea is really salty... because the basic world I have been drinking all over the sea, hahahahaha... [Raiders] Tickets: Free Opening time: All day Travel mode: We choose the charter boat, it is relatively light Extravagant. So the price is a little expensive, it is 4,000 dollars a day, you can go to up to 15 people, drink endless drinks, have Chinese food, you can play kayaking, snorkeling, and afternoon tea. Of course, if it is not a team, just a person or a couple to play, you can hold a group in the local town center, or take a boat at the pier, not so advanced, about 25 dollars a person.

St. John's Church and Aya Soluk Castle St. John's Church is an inconspicuous place hidden behind Aya Soluk Castle. Unexpectedly, here is the Gospel of John written. The place below. So it has also become a holy place for Christianity. However, there are not many people to visit, and tickets for Aya Soluk Castle already include it. The whole ruin is very majestic and you can see the whole picture of Selcuk here. Isabe Mosque At the foot of Aya Soluk Castle, there is an Isabel Mosque, which is a magnificent architectural style that belongs to the post-Seljuk forward Ottoman transition period. style of. Remember to bring a headscarf and take off your shoes when you visit. It is very interesting that there are even more free Qurans in various languages (including Chinese version). Artemis Temple Speaking of the Seven Wonders of the World, we may all think of pyramids, sky gardens, etc. But who will first think of the Temple of Artemis? Who knows that it is on the edge of Selcuk's insignificant path? Its like being forgotten by everyone. When I came here, no one was visiting. The Temple of Artemis was originally built to be larger than the Parthenon in Athens. It is a glorious presence in the Western world. Its 127 pillars each The part is engraved with patterns. Now, there are only a few broken roots left. There are even ducks running around inside. The seven wonders that are really lonely.

After browsing the ancient theatre of Aspendos, we drove to the old town in the city center, which is the most representative place in Antalya. Kaleic Old Town is the city centre of Antalya and a hub for a variety of hotels and travel agents. It is surrounded by the Republic Avenue, Ataturk Street and Cala Ariolu Park. There are many quiet alleys in the northern part of the block, making it the most suitable place for travellers to explore. Antalya is located on the Mediterranean coast, surrounded by mountains, with an emerald coast, beautiful beaches, boulevards of palm trees and a delightful historical town, which is the wealth it possesses, making it Recognized as a tourist paradise in Turkey, it is a perfect combination of the sea, the sun, nature and history. Every corner of the city is a dreamland. The city was built in the second century BC. It is an important port in the Eastern Mediterranean, both in the Eastern Roman period and in the Ottoman Empire. The climate here is pleasant, slightly humid, with an average temperature of 30 to 35 degrees in summer and 9 to 15 degrees in winter. It is a good place for swimming, surfing, water skiing, white water rafting and mountain climbing. Quiet town, no jealousy, no noisy, some just, quiet and cozy.

As a person who can't swim, flying a paraglider is only on the shore, but it is also very pleasant to be able to walk on the shore. The Dead Sea in Turkey is really beautiful. We have been driving along the mountain road and the coastline is really beautiful. However, some bays can't get through. If you want to see the Dead Sea at close range, you can sign up for a pirate ship and pick it up together!

Now the Ephesus, the glory scattered away, leaving only some broken walls and broken stones, the metropolitan style of the year can only be recorded in the literature. However, even if you are not interested in history and monuments, see the spectacular facade of the Celsus Library, and the gorgeous sculptures will also admire its beauty. The Celsus Library is one of the few double-storey buildings in Ephesus. It is extraordinarily conspicuous in the ruins, and there is a closer relationship between the library and the brothel. It is said that the library There is a hidden underground passage connecting the brothel. Oh This round theater is also a good relic left in the ancient city. It is also worth a visit.

The Temple of Alphas is known as one of the Eight Wonders of the Ancient World. It was burnt down by the Black Josteds, leaving only a spliced pillar. The majesty of that year is still evident. Although it was rebuilt afterwards, it was still looted and destroyed. It has disappeared completely, leaving only the land to be lost. However, there are still many people who come here to take photos with the pillars. BTW, the barbecue outside is delicious!

If you go to see the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus, then the museum can't be missed. Many of the boutiques are moved to the museum to protect them. Even the headless stone statues are seen in the monuments. Its head may be in the museum It is said that the treasure of the town hall here is Priaps, but I prefer the goddess of harvest, and friends who like history should not miss it! Definitely a visual feast

Do you still remember the surprise and curiosity of the word "Dead Sea" in the geography class? Do you know that in addition to the well-known Dead Sea, there is also a place called "Dead Sea", located in Fethi, Turkey. Yeah~ The name of the Dead Sea sounds chilling, but it is actually called water wealth. The water here is not shocking. It has a soft beach with a view of the Mediterranean coast, a dressing room, a shower room, and an open air. The bar is fully stocked and is a typical example of a Turkish-style beach.

When it comes to the Dead Sea, everyone must think that it is the magical waters that can make people float on the sea, including I have always had this misunderstanding before. But the well-known Dead Sea is actually an inland salt lake between Palestine and Jordan, and Turkey's full name of the Dead Sea is Oludeniz, 15 kilometers south of Fethiye, and the stretch of coastline is roundabout. A large-slewing bay, because of the calmness here, the reflection in the water is almost static, so the name of the Dead Sea. The paragliding is the best way to play the Dead Sea. With a paraglider, you can see the entire Dead Sea, and you can even see the Greek island of Rhodes on the other side when the weather is good. Of course, the premise is that you will not stun the umbrella, otherwise the process will not be very enjoyable. There are many local paragliding companies. The best word of mouth is Gravity's home, 360 Lira all-inclusive (hotel pick-up + hilltop flight + photo video), interested can go to search, but here is more to introduce. Finally, we must remind everyone that we must not greet the small companys paragliders, many of them take off in the middle of the mountain, and even landed on the roof....

Antalya is located on the Mediterranean coast and is one of the best vacation cities in Turkey. The most worthy of the show here is the well-preserved old town of Kaleic, a protected area that is isolated from the downtown area. The narrow alleys are Ottoman houses transformed into hotels, shops and restaurants. Walking aimlessly in these red buildings, I feel the charm of the Ottoman Turkish Empire that has flourished for centuries. Antalya's tourist season is from June to September. During this time, not only foreign tourists, but even local Turkish tourists flocked to Antalya. After the 11th Golden Week, many corners of the ancient city will not see the tourists, and strolling in the light and shadow of this road is full of satisfaction. If you must compare the old town of Kalejic with an ancient town in China, it is probably only comparable to Lijiang, which has not been overexploited 20 years ago. Although it is commercial, it is not strong, architecture Half of the group is a residential. It is best to describe it with the words literary and fresh. I don't know when, many countries' tourist attractions began to hang colorful umbrellas in the air, and Antalya is no exception. Antalya's Umbrella Street is located in the ancient city near Hadrian's Gate. The whole street is a restaurant. The original ordinary road attracts many tourists because of the embellishment of these umbrellas. The most beneficial thing is the owner of the restaurant. .

Antalya can be said to be the most beautiful place in Turkey. Although I like Istanbul very much, the most beautiful scenery is still in Antalya. Antalya means paradise, a veritable city. This small town on the Mediterranean coast is surrounded by mountains. The street trees are all orange trees. The oranges that fall on the roadside are often seen. The color of the whole city is very bright. . Stayed in Antalya for two days, it all rained, although it was a bit disappointing, but it did not affect the beauty of the old city. I felt that there was too little time here. I should stay for more than three days and walk the old city. The most beautiful part of Antalya is the old town of Keleici. It is located on a cliff with winding roads. The old town also retains Ottoman-style architecture. Every corner is beautiful and I am amazed. Under the cliff is beautiful. The bay, the bay is a charming blue-green, even if it rains these days, it is so clear. In Antalya, we barely watched the Raiders, did not look at the LP, followed the feeling of walking, letting them get lost in the old city, but found more beauty.
