Day 14 - As we arrive in Antalya it makes us a little homesick as the coast line is a little like Vancouver. The weather is warm......sun is shining and we decide to extend our stay here for an extra day. Our poor tour director has to change all of our arrangements. This is the beach prior tourist season which gets going full force May 1st.
Antalya is a very modern city but we are staying in the Old Antalya .........Kaleici. We sit at our supper table at the Hidirlik Tower, (1 st Century AD ) overlooking the Mediteranean and the mountain background. It is 100 meters from the Old Ottaman Pension we are staying at.
The old Tower Clock.
The Broken Minaret was the site of the Roman temple ( 2 nd Century) Byzantine Church of the Virgin Mary ( 6th Century ) and Mosque ( 9th century ) before turning back to the church! Quite a history!!!!
