Ataturk (el padre de la ındependencıa Turca) descrıbıo a Antalya como el lugar mas bello del mundo. Yo no lo calıfıcarıa ası pero sın duda esta dentro de mi top 15.
La cıudad de Antalya esta dıvıdıda en la cıudad vıeja y la cıudad nueva. Nosotros solo exploramos la cıudad vıeja porque solo estuvimos 1 dia ahi. Con sus calles adoquinadas estrechas, casas del imperio otomano de madera, ruinas de iglesias y mezquitas recuerdan un poco a las calles de Guanajuato o San Miguel de Allende pero, a diferencia de estos dos, Antalya tiene unas vistas increibles al mar al final de cuentas es el mediterraneo.....
El mar es increiblemente azul, azul turquesa, y con solo eso se entiende porque un color hace referencia a un pais especifico.
La noche la hicimos lo mas turca posible…. Junto con un amigo australiano, Mark, que conocimos ese dia en el hostel, fuimos a jugar backgamon, fumamos en un nargil, vimos un partido de foot ball Beshiktaş vs. Liverpool, bebimos çay y cafe turco mientras escuchabamos nostalgicas canciones turcas cantadas por un trio turco con instrumentos tradicionales: saz.. un violin y un tambor.... :)
Ataturk, the father of Modern Turkey described Antalya as the most beuatiful place in the world. Alejandro doesn't seem to agree with this comment, but I would probably have to wait till a visit in the summer when we can really appreciate the mediterranean to comment on this :)
We only explored the old part of Antalya, as we were really only there for half a day. Since it was cold and raining, going to the beach was out of the question. Its cobblestone streets, wooden houses from the Ottoman empire, and ruins of ancient churches and mosques can only be matched by the beautiful blue, Turqouise blue of the Mediteranean!
This evening, we had as much of a Turkish night as possible. With our new Australian friend Mark, we went to a local nargile cafe to play backgammon, drink çay (turkish tea), watch a Besiktas vs Liverpool soccer game, and of course smoke nargile. We moved on to a bigger restaurant and ordered kahve (extremely concentrated and thick Turkish coffee!) and clapped along to live Turkish Folk music performed by a trio. One played a stringed lute like instrument called the saz, the second played the violin, and the third sang. What an awesome night.
