Going to traveling in Turkey, I wanted to explore as many interesting places and cities as possible. Using the Council of Friends, Antalya was chosen to the centerpoint for trips. This resort has attracted attention not only to the fact that it can be accessed by almost all cities of the country, but also the immending number of monuments.
What can be viewed at this resort for a couple of days? Inspection of the city should be started with walking along the street Ataturk With visiting shops. To get acquainted with the history of the country, it is better to go to Kaleichi district (Kaleiçi). On the old streets of this part of the city, it is possible to suck all the centuries-old architecture on the example of mosques, the Roman gate of Adriana, Hammamov and the famous Tower of Hadyrlyc. Her destination is still not solved.
Walking around the quarter, travelers will be hard to avoid one of Antalya characters - the corrugated minaret Jiivley.
Relaxing and acclimatizing in Antalya, you should look at Museum of Mini City (Minicity Antalya). This unusual park of the open-air miniature is located at Arapsuyu Mah. 600 SOK. Near Water Park Aqualend. You can reach it by bus. By taking care of the fleet among reduced copies of temples and mosques, tourists are provided with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the architectural and historical values of the whole of Turkey. A audio guide who is located near each exhibit will tell visitors to interesting facts about attractions in one of five languages, among whom Russian.

In addition to historical and architectural beauties, Antalya can show tourists picturesque natural monuments. Is it possible to go around the side of the waterfalls Nizhny and Upper Dudy . The largest waterfall in the sea is the Mediterranean waterfall (Nizhny Dumad). Locals are called drippedaran. Admire the flow of water dropping from a height of 42 meters is better in the evening when the backlight is turned on. It is especially superb it looks like a spectacle from the sea. From the berth Kaleiçi Marina tourists to the waterfall carry the boats.
Upper waterfall is 14 km from the city center. Amazing is that traveleled to a waterfall on public transport, tourists turn out to be practically in a residential array, where at first glance, there are even hints for a natural attraction.
In order not to get lost in search of the park with a waterfall, it is better to seek help to local residents. They will gladly prompt the road. Or use the GPS navigator, pre-clarify the coordinates of the park. Visiting the park, perhaps exclusively for the lira. There is a pleasure of 2.5 lira for an adult and 1.5 lira for children over 6 years old. In the park is not crowded. Numerous benches in the shade of trees, and playgrounds, allow tourists to enjoy the surrounding beauty, while children have fun. In the park there is under a waterfall Natural cave or a cave of desires (Dilek Magarasi). It has numerous grots, corridors, natural windows with a unique view due to waterfall and metal bridges. However, the feature of the cave is a spacious room with barbed fossil. Thanks to him, the caves received its name. It is believed that a thread or rope attached to one of the barns will fulfill any desire.
Unfortunately, I'm described by a small part of the sights of Anatalia. There are still so many places in the city that you should visit. That's just the time, as always, passes quickly, and sorry.
