With
its vast beaches, historic sites, the innumerable fish restaurants
of its modern hotel and motels and its cafes and bars, Alanya,
is an outstanding holiday getaway. The first thing that
greets the visitor is the 13th century Selçuk Castle, which
sits like a crown atop of Alanya Peninsula. Besides the
impressive castle, there is the shipyard, which has no parallel
in the world, and the fabulously beautiful Red Tower (Kızıl
Kule). All along the road which runs beside the port are
late night cafes and bars and boutiques selling handicrafts,
leather clothing, jewelry, handbags and local gourds painted
with extraordinary colors. If you like to explore caves,
then you must see Damlataş Cave.
Near the cave is the Ethnographic Museum.
By boat you can reach three other caves: the Phosphorous
Cave with its phosphoric rocks, Girls Cave (Kızlar Cave),
where pirates held their women prisoners, and Lovers Cave
(Aşıklar Cave). The cool shade of Dim Çağı Valley, 15 km
east of Alanya, is an ideal place to get away and relax.
The sea all around Alanya is excellent for swimming. Alanya
is a paradise of sun, sea and sand.
Antalya
Because
of the archeological and natural riches of the area, Antalya
is called the Turkish Riviera. The sea and sun, nature and
history all come together in magical harmony here where
the best and cleanest beaches on the Mediterranean are found.
The 630 km shoreline of the province is literally strewn
with ancient cities and harbors, memorial tombs and golden
beaches and it is laced with charming little coves, lush
forests and streams.
With its palm-lined boulevards, its internationally
acclaimed marina and the charming castle with its traditional
architecture set amidst the bustle of a modern city, Antalya

Triathlon, Golf Tournaments, Archery, Tennis, Canoeing competitions
and many more. The Cultural Center of Antalya, which opened
in 1995 host cultural and art events like plastic art, music,
theater and a number of exhibitions.
Bodrum
Homer's
description of Bodrum as "The land of eternal blue"
and the words of another resident of Bodrum, Cevat Şakir,
who said "The heavenly bliss of life in Bodrum is better
than any eternal bliss that may await us" were not
without foundation in reality. Throughout history Bodrum,
known as Halikarnassos in ancient times, has always been
fought over and people have been unwilling to share its
beauty with others.
Built on a peninsula formed by the meeting
of the eastern and western harbors, Bodrum, with its narrow
streets winding down to the sea, is famous for its castle,
its world-renowned yachts, its shipyards and the dazzling
white houses and tombs lining the shores of its two harbors.
Today
Bodrum has everything that one would expect to find in a
vacation getaway. It is an important tourist center in both
winter and summer. Bodrum has what it takes to make everyone
feel at home, from the rich yacht owners who come from around
the globe to the penny-counting tourists who just wants
a reasonable room so that he can stretch his budget to make
his vacation last all summer.
Çeşme
Çeşme
is a charming convergence of healing mineral springs, excellent
beaches, crystal clear waters and sun, perfect for vacationers.
Çeşme is 94 km west of İzmir, on the very tip of the peninsula
that bears its name. It was called the 'little harbor' by
sailors, but with the passing of time, the area became known
as Çeşme due to the ice-cold waters in its fountains, which
is çeşme in Turkish. The colony of Erythrai, settled by the
Ionians in the 10th century BC, is at Karaburun, east of the
harbor at Çeşme and 15 km to the north. The regions archeological
and historical remains consist of the ancient city of Erythrai,
discovered in the village of Çeşme-Ildırı, and the Ottoman
fortified inn at Kale Kervansaray, as well as numerous fountains
and other examples of civil architecture from the ancient
city.
Statuettes offered in the Temple of Athena Pallas were
found during excavations in the Acropolis located on the
top of a hill in the center of the city. One of the most
important findings is the statue of a woman belonging to
the Archaic Age. It is on display in the Izmir Museum of
Archeology. There is an international music festival held
here every year in July.
Datça

Fethiye
"Virgin
of the Illumination Country " Fethiye, is in a bay open
through north, surrounded by pine forests within Fethiye gulf,
in which large and small islands distributed within Mediterranean.
It descends from rocky tombs and the front of the castle to
the plains, from Karagözler to sea. Its horizon is composed
of şövalye adası (knight island), Günlükbarı and mountains
towards them. It is known with monuments belong to Persians,
Lycians, Carians and Romans. It is one of the most important
tourism centers of our country with its cultural wealth, natural
beauties and geography.
Finike
Finike,

doga ve denizin birlestigi bir turizm beldesidir. Portakallari
ile taninan kent, Limyra kenti kalintilari ve Arykanda antik
kenti kalintilari ile ilgi görmektedir.
Göcek
The
Gulf of Fethiye is thought by many sailors to be second only
to the Indian Ocean in terms of the beautiful seascapes it
offers. Until a few years ago the only land based option for
those wanting to enjoy this magical corner of the world was
the characterful, but hardly tranquil, town of Fethiye. However,
in recent years a small amount of accommodation has become
available in the pretty village of Gocek. Set at the deepest
point of the gulf of Fethiye, Gocek nestles at the foot of
the pine clad mountains looking out over the '12 islands'
of the bay.
With a large natural harbour Gocek has grown up to cater to
the needs of yachtmen. One of the pleasures of a visit here
is a stroll around the Marina to admire the array of boats
of all shapes and sizes moored here. The waterfront is lined
with bars and restaurants. Inland life revolves around the
pretty market square which is lined with little shops selling
antiques and crafts as well as the more usual carpets.
In the daytime it is possible to swim from the small town
beach, but you will probably prefer to take a trip to one
of the beaches in the local nature reserves or a boat to one
of the lovely islands in the bay. Thought this area is called
the 12 islands there are, in fact, far more than that and
you could easily explore a different one each day of your
holiday. On some you will find a simple restaurant, on others
fragments of classical or Byzantine ruins, on others nothing
but glorious peace and quiet.
If you are tired of exploring the immidiate area Gocek is
well sited for other parts of the coast. The bustling port
of Fethiye, or the pretty town of Dalyan with its mud baths
and the Carian city of Caunos can both be reached in under
an hour. A little further afield you could visit the ancient
sites of Letoon, Patara and Xanthos, or the spectaculargoge
at Saklikent. An overnight trip to Ephesus and Pamukkale is
also possible.
Gökova
Akyaka is one of the most beautiful villages you can sea on
the Turkish Turquoise Coast situated right at the tip of magnificent
Gokova Bay, on the road between Mugla and Marmaris. Make sure
to stop over either to stay a few days, to experience the
calm beauty of the pine forests and clean Mediterranean Sea
or even a few hours to restaurants on the outskirts by the
clear Azmak River, observing ducks and geese which live there
year around. You won't regret it !
You can stay either in one of the small, family-run cozy apart
hotels or in one of the more exclusive hotels.
Akyaka has one of the best picnic grounds surrounded by pine
forests, by the sea where you can watch glorious sunsets,
make your own barbecue or have a snack in the cafe.
Various modest tea-houses offer fresh tea, toasts and peaceful
hours by the sea or in the town center. Fresh fish is best
served here, all year round in all restaurants by the Azmak
River.
Akyaka is also well known for the authentic architecture of
Mugla area where Nail Cakirhan, the Turkish architect has
his prize winning house. It is open to public as a cultural
center during the high season.
You can easily enjoy drives or hikes to the nearby picturesque
mountain or beach villages from Akyaka. Sakar and Sandras
mountains are only half an hour away from Akyaka yours to
discover !
Sedir Island, in the Gulf of Gokova, is the ancient Cedrai.
Its old city walls, theater andtemples can be visited by driving
from Akyaka, south to Gelibolu Bay and then crossing by boat.
This voyage also offers an unforgettable panoramic view of
the mountain scenery across the bay.

Kekova
A day trip to Kekova, Ucagiz and Kale could be the highlight
of your stay in Lycia, the region of Turkey roughly between
Fethiye and Antalya. Usually reached by boat from Kas or Kalkan,
this little bit of the coast is full of surprises and history.
Your typical trip will take in the sites of three ancient
cities, Aperlae, Teimiussa and Simena (Kale). You really don't
need to know anything about the history of the area to enjoy
the trip but here's a little background anyway.
As you pass the little Greek island of Meis on your right
your boat may take you into the bay that housed the harbor
of Aperlae, founded by the Lycians and never a very important
city . There's not a lot to see here but its fun to pass over
the sunken remains of the harbour buildings.
The island of Kekova will probably be your next stop. As trade
between the Lycians and the other Hellenistic Greeks increased
so did piracy and many harbours and ports were fortified in
the same way that Kekova is. Again you'll see the remains
of buildings and walls beneath your boat, and, depending on
the knowledge of your guide, various bits and pieces will
be pointed out to you. You'll stop a couple of times for swimming
and snorkelling, a couple of caveats for you here. You should
watch out for the spiny sea urchins that hang out in the ruins
and you should be aware that skin diving near the submerged
buidlings is prohibited, as is the removal of any old looking
stuff that you might find. You will regret it if you don't
tyake a snorkel and mask with you but exercise a little restraint,
your captain should know where its OK for you to dive.
As you move on to the mainland village of Kale (ancient
Simena) you'll notice the unusual shapes of the islets and
outcrops that you pass. These are the result of quarrying
to the water line to provide stone for the buildings you've
been looking at all day. The approach to Kale is delightful.
The medieval castle sitting high on the hill is surrounded
by the remains of the ancient city and the climb to the
summit, through the little village where you'll probably
have lunch, is worth it just to sit in the little theatre
and gaze out over the bay to Kekova. The odd Lycian ogival
tomb lying around reminds of where you are, you'll see them
throughout this part of Turkey, and the village itself is
charming in the way that it is built in to the remains of
what was here before. Don't forget to check out the other
side of the castle with its view to Ucagiz, where you'll
probably go next.
The 'three mouths' of Ucagiz are the two openings east and
west of Kekova island and the channel to the village itself.
Ucagiz is accessible by road from the main Kas - Kalkan
highway and is therefore a little more developed although
its still fairly sleepy and laid back. There are pansiyons
and restaurants here and you could plan to stay a couple
of days to take in the delights of the area more fully.
