A Tip:: All posts entitled City - Gün # tend to be full of photos from a weekend trip. The rest of the posts are useless paragraphs, full of my ramblings and random photos.

Antalya - Gün 3

Today we decided to head out early-ish, to spend half the day in Antalya. We took the dolmus up the mountain, and then another to Antalya Otogar. Shammara had been sick that morning/evening, so she took a bus to Ankara right away. We headed off into the city.

Antalya is known for being a touristy town (i.e. they have descriptions in German and prices in Euros), and we tend to try to avoid that atmosphere, but the town was really beautiful.

They're a bunch of Ottoman-style homes built on narrow winding roads, right on the edge of the sea:

We wandered the streets a bit, looking at the various old mosques and minarets buried within the alleys.

We eventually ended up at a nice, rustic pub with live Turkish music. It's almost out of tourism season in Turkey, so we were the only foreigners there making us the only ones who didn't know the words to the songs.
