We found three wonderful restaurants. The first one is Cabanas. It's found by the Hiderlik Kuber (an old Roman tower thought to be a lighthouse). It has seating outside overlooking the tower and the bay and must have the most beautiful view in Antalya (and there are many beautiful views). The food is wonderful, but the wine wasn't all that good (it got better as I got half way through it).
The view and the hospitality were memorable. We went back to eat there a second time and they greeted us like long lost friends. Jackie had the shrimp and I had the grill chicken. Both were superb.

We passed by this old bridge many times, but I couldn't take any better photo from the bus. Our local guide, by the way he was a very good one, told us, that this bridge is very, very old. Unfortunately I didn't remember how old exactly.

Antalya is situated in the southwestern part of Turkey, on the Gulf of Antalya. The city is the seaport capital and the main economic center of Antalya Province. A brief history (from Microsoft Encarta ) : "Antalya was originally settled in the 2nd century BC and named Attalia in honor of its founder Attalus II, the king of Pergamum. Bequeathed to the Romans in 133 BC, Antalya played an important role during the Crusades as a starting point for troops heading for Palestine.
Although briefly occupied by the Turkish Seljuks in the early 13th century AD, Antalya was an incorporated part of the Ottoman Empire until World War I. Claimed by Italy in a postwar agreement, Antalya did not become part of what is present-day Turkey until 1921, when Turkish forces drove out the Italian troops".
Today, Antalya is a major touristic resort in this part of Turkey.
