600 years old Turkish Bath SEFA
by marsistanbul
In terms of bathing culture,however,not much has changed since Ottoman times.After undressing cabins around the camekan,the entry courtyard,and wrapping in the PESTEMAL,a colourful checked towel,the visitor proceeds through the SOGUKLUK,a room of moderate temperature,to the HARARET,the steamy hot area of the bath.This marble clad central room of the bath is covered by a dome with round glass openings that allow daylight to fall inside in a beautiful pattern.
The walls are ringed with individual marble basins where bathers wash themselves.The center of the HARARET is occupied by a large platform(GOBEK TASI),where the hamam attendant treats visitors to an exfoliating body scrupy mitt(KESE) and an invigorating,if not occasionally rough,massage afterwards..

Kaleici - old town
by mvtouring
I loved walking around the Kaleici area, which is filled with old restored Ottoman houses that now serves as pensions, hotels, restaurants or souvenir shops. Many tourists stay here, but we were staying way off on the other side of town so just came here for a tour by ourselves which we enjoyed tremendously. The best thing for me was to discover the little back streets and see where they lead and what they have to offer. You always discover interesting things when you get lost, but somehow one always finds your way back to the main streets.

An Outline Of the History of Antalya
The Antalya Region has been subject to settlement since the Paleolithic (Stone) Ages. Since there are names of this region in the Iliad legend of Homeros, it is clear that this region housed an indigenous settlement, called Pamphilia, around 1200 B.C. The region was ruled later in history by the Lydian Kingdom, the Persians and Alexander the Great. The Western part of Pamphilia was acquired by king Attalos II. of Pergamon in the 2nd Century B.C. Attalos founded as a port on the western coast of the Mediterranean sea, naming it Attalia, the present derivation of this name is Antalya. The city was bequeathed to the Roman Empire by Attalos III., after the death of Attalos III., and to Byzanthium at the beginning of the 4th century A.D. During the Middle Ages the city was a Byzantine stronghold and an important embarkation point for troops going to Palestine during the Crusades. After the Seljuq ruler Kay-Khusraw gained control over the city in 1207, the Turkish-Islamic period began. The region was ruled later on, towards the end of the 14th century, by the Ottoman empire. The city continued through all periods to serve as an important port in the southwestern region.
Romantic Ruins and Breathtaking Sights
by Travel_Gal
Located on the Meditteranean, the city of Antalya is a beautiful city, and surrounded by countryside and historical sites. The details in the ruins of places like Side, Termessos, Perge, Aspendos are amazing, and worth taking the time to explore. The photo is one of the Temples located in Side (just can't remember if it was Temple of Apollo or Athena).
