Quoting sophie:
The city that has stolen my heart is Antalya. Istanbul is stunning but somehow, Antalya and the area around it are my favorites. Olympos mountain and beach, Taurus mountains, all those waterfalls and caves, together with the beauty of the old marine and the privileges of the modern city of Antalya, give a fantastic result. |
I absolutely share Sophie’s oppinion: I’ve also left part of my heart in Antalya. And not only because of Antalya’s attractions which Sophie mentioned, but mostly because of kindness, warmth and hospitality of the people.
I’ve just came from my holiday, spent in Alanya. At the first sight everything was perfect: beautiful city, all in flowers, with many attractions and breathtaking views, amazing beaches, lots of shops, bars, restaurants; our hotel completely renewed, at the perfect location not to far and not to close to city centre, with excellent service. We went to ineteresting excursions to the places we didn’t visit before, guided by experianced guides. Everyone was kind and helpful. Anyway, I went back home pretty dissapointed: I didn’t feel there as at home, like I did last two years in a small, modest hotel at Antalya’s Lara beach, with people who’s smile was not false but honest and who treated us as a part of the family, not someone who came to spend its money there. And one day spent visiting those people was more valuable for me then all other days of our holiday.
As I’ve already said to my friends: my eyes were full, but my heart was empty
So, Jo_Anne, I don’t think anybody can give you advice as “go there†or “don’t go thereâ€, everything depends of what do you expect of your holiday.
