Antalya
Antalya, one of the most breath-taking places of Turkey, because of its spectacular location between the Taurus Mountains rising to 3086 meters just behind the coastline and the sparkling Mediterranean. It is accepted as a brilliant jewel surrounded by Termessus, Side, and Aspendos, the ancient cities of history and legend.
Small and large streams up-and-coming from the west of Taurus water the plains on their journey to the Mediterranean. This translucent running water, cascading into the sea at points along the coast, is another striking sight. The plant life is extremely wide varied from tropical plants to thriving oaks and pines as the center of a rich agricultural region and is also an important center for the distribution of citrus fruits, olives, sugar beet and tomatoes.
Four seasons only shown on calendars, for there is no winter there, in 1985 for the first time in 60 years snow fell; it was on the newspaper headlines then. The summers are hot and dry while the other seasons are warm and at times rainy, with an average temperature of 18 C. It is very exceptional for the temperature to drop below zero. The average humidity rate is 64%.
The region was inhabited 50 thousand years ago according to the results of archeological digs made in and around city. Antalya having a population of 500.000 doubles, even triples, it in summers as tourists both Turkey and abroad gather to get pleasure from its offerings. In September, the Turkish movie stars visit Antalya for the awards ceremony of Traditional Golden Orange Film Festival. The local people together with the tourists promenade in the evenings to meet some of these stars and watch the stunning sun set."
