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, …

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. Places …

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 a shower, we're good …

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) to look …

Budget's the name of the game when ever we go away anywhere - and recently, when we were in Antalya for Runatolia, we again went on an online hunt for budget accommodation for our 3-night stay. We've learned the hard way with this, though, and past experience has taught us it's a bit of a gamble …

There are many cities and regions in Turkey that are famous for particular recipes or foods - and Antalya is no exception to the case. On so many occasions on this blog, we've written about our love of köfte; yeah, you know we love our köfte - we've done various köfte recipes in the past such as …

That's the overriding memory of both last year's Runtalya 2014 and this year's Runatolia (there's been a name change); just a mass of colour. Last year, I perched myself on the bridge over the start line to take photos and to try to spot Barry in the mass of runners. Of course, that was a …
