The Downtown

---

This one is going to be brief as there's really nothing to tell. We walked around and in the old city of Antalya. Antalya resides in the middle of history with its old harbor and antic city. This city was surrounded by a historic wall from Roman Empire. Today, there's only a part of the wall and a clock tower remain intact at the North gate. On the East side of the wall, there's another entrance to the old city called Hadrianus Gate. Once you're in the old city, all the paved roads will lead to the harbor. The modern city of Antalya didn't really start to appear until World War II. Until then, the Old City was Antalya, with its massive stone walls, meandering streets, and picturesque old houses built so close they often overshadow the narrow lanes. Following the paved road we arrived to the harbor. It was a little different from how I remember it. I am told the harbor is undergoing a construction so that more yachts can anchor. I'll have another entry for the Harbour. Don't forget to look at the pictures and drop a comment if you like them.

Antalya
Okay, that place is awesome. Putting it on my bucket list of places to visit. I love the architecture, the woodwork - especially the arches. You look rather bored sitting by them, though. Very cool place
