How does snow-capped mountains cascading into a crystal-blue sea sound to you?  It sounds like “Antalya” to me.  Antalya is a city located on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, or the Turkish Riviera as some call it.  If you count the photos you will find that there are actually 22.   I couldn’t cull any of these!  Antalya is too beautiful!  This modern metropolis is built atop the ruins of the ancient city of “Attaleia.”  Some of the ancient features of the city, like Hadrian’s Gate and the sea port, can still be seen today.  The city has beautiful beaches, a cool aquarium, and great shopping, so it attracts a lot of visitors each year.  There are also TONS of ancient cities and natural wonders in the areas surrounding Antalya just waiting to be explored.  So if you have a hard time deciding between mountains or sea and resting or exploring, Antalya would be a great destination for you.

To our friends in the West, keep looking East!
