Antalya is the largest city in the Antalya coast. 12 kilometers from it is located airport where aircraft delivering new batch of tourists from different countries to Turkey. Some of them are trapped along the coast, and the part remains here in the city. This is a resort city, but not only. Life in the city in the literal sense "boils", because a large number of people live here, there are the largest shopping centers on the coast, for example, "Migros", in which you can disappear all day. Many in Antalya monuments of ancient architecture, preserved since the time of dominance of the Roman Empire. The city itself was founded even to our era in 159. At first he belonged to the Romans, then entered the Byzantine Empire.
If you relax in Antalya, then "flag to you in hand", as they say. There is a unique opportunity to independently make hiking around the city, inspecting his sights, and there is a lot here. The larger part of tourists come here in the framework of sightseeing excursions, which suggest a visit to a number of landmarks. Among them, the waterfall is the lower deud. All who rested in Turkey, in their photo album have a photo against this waterfall. After all, he is a business card of Antalya.
Especially beautiful Waterfall in winter and very much. In the summer, part of the water from the Dhared River is used for the irrigation of the lands, so the amount of falling water in the Mediterranean Sea is significantly less. In the evening, under the spotlights looks like the lower Duada is simply amazing. There is another waterfall - the top deud. It is located in some removal, in the park area where local residents are very like to come, because it is possible to get a pleasant coolness, take a break from the forever scorching sun. Tourists here are also a lot.
The city is very remarkable monuments that have survived since the Roman Empire, for example, the Gate of Adriana. They share new Antalya from its historical part. The gate is very beautiful ornamented. Therefore, if you walk under them, pay attention to it.
There are in the city and its water park. The cost is about $ 25 for the whole day. Yes, even the day may not be enough. Especially happy with water entertainment children, there are many of them. Yes, and adults do not mind trying all the water rides, different types of slides, including the most terrible "Kamikaze", having an angle of inclination of almost 90 degrees. In the water park there are many bars, cafes. Here you can simply lie down and near the outdoor pool, this is if fatigue has come and you just want to passively relax. Many impressions, emotions overwhelm, mood rises.
The city has its own monument to the first president of Turkey - Ataturk. Another monument saw in Side on the embankment. Here, of course, the monument is larger. The Turks are very honored by his president, because thanks to him the country came out at the very different path of its development, became more prosperous.
As for still marked places, I would like to tell about Aspendos. It is located not far from Antalya.
Previously, this is an ancient Greek Roman city. In Aspendos, compared to other regions of Turkey, the amphitheater is best preserved. It was built in 155 by the Greek architect. Then he fell into decay, repaired. It was famous for magnificent acoustics. It is still carried out once a year festivals of theatrical art. True, a new Arena-Aspendos was built nearby in order to preserve the monument of ancient architecture.
In such cities like Antalya, each resting will certainly find for themselves those iconic places that will enjoy the most, will cause strong emotions and which they want to tell their familiar and friends. Being in Turkey and not to see the country, its history is a bad tone. Of course, you can spend time exclusively on site, but this country is not among those whom you should not consider, study. The history of Turkey is the history of the development of the world, but in a separate country presented.
