Two city of Antalya waterfalls: Upper Düden Waterfalls and Lower Düden Waterfalls. Both tumbling from the same river – but two completely different personalities! One – Upper Düden Waterfall – is the natural beauty of a tranquil green space. The other – its lower counterpart – is all about the beauty of the ferocious power …
For many years, we’ve been almost annual visitors to Antalya old town, Kaleiçi. We’re suckers for an old town, especially when they’re a seemingly never ending maze of narrow streets in which to lose yourself. And the old town in Antalya, one of the most beautiful along the Turkish Riviera, certainly doesn’t disappoint in that …
Achingly pretty, slightly bohemian, quietly confident; the small town of Kaş on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast is all of those things. And more besides. We fell in love with Kaş the first time we visited in the late 1990s. And that has never left us. A pretty harbour, packed with small boats and traditional gülets. Cobbled …
It’s always a tough one, deciding whether or not to write about bars and restaurants we visit when we’re elsewhere in Turkey. Nice to offer tips to you, should you go to that place, but the reality is, any of these eateries and watering holes could close down and we’d have no idea about it. …
This is how it came to pass that we ended up staying in the rather elegant 1207 Boutique Hotel in the old town of Kaleiçi. This year’s trip to Antalya for the Runtalya event was a bit different. You know us; we’re happy in a small pension. ,s long as there’s a clean bed and …
Dantel Pension in Antalya’s old town, Kaleiçi, ticked all of our boxes. Clean room? Check. Comfy bed? Check. Decent breakfast? Check. In a good spot? Check. Great for our budget? Check. Yeah, these are all the things we look for when we’re booking our digs for any little jaunt we do. Whenever we go to …
One of our favourite places to while away a bit of time in Antalya is Karaalioğlu Park. (Pronunciation: Kara-ali-oh-loo) The more we visit the southern Mediterranean city of Antalya, the more we love it. That’s the beauty of slow travel. We get more of a feel for what makes a place tick. Rather than racing …
Perge is an ancient site of ruins in Turkey’s Antalya province. Just what is it with us and the centre of Antalya? Whenever we’re in this city, there’s always a little travel (mis)adventure where something goes slightly array. All good fun, nothing serious…but all the same… every single visit? When we were there recently, we …
From the castle at the top of the hill, we’d looked down across the bay to our next destination: Üçağız. We were on the final stop of the westward route of our gulet cruise along Turkey’s southern Lycian coast. Lazing in sheltered bays around the area known to sailors as Kekova Roads, we’d traversed the …
We’re going for a little stroll along the Antalya city centre seafront in this blog post. And there’s no rush. How long it takes you to complete this journey depends on how fast you walk, whether or not you want to detour off down to the old harbour (don’t worry, there’s a lift with views) …
