Old City Gate

by Bregman

The entrance to the old city. On one side you'll find the main street with all the stores in it, but once you step to the other side of the wall you will find yourself in another world, wandering in the narrow alleys of the old city.

Antalya - Konya by bus

by chrisvandenbroucke

Take a taxi from Antalya centre to the Otogar (busstation), too far to walk

The bus the 365 km in approximately 7 hours

We didn't know there are almost no stops on the Turkish roads so we didn't bring enough food with us.

Won't happen a second time

I paid 12 million TL per person

"lots of fun learning to be a tour guide"

I joined a training programme for getting a tourguide with the German tour operator travel & personality (http://www.reiseseminare.de). It was a great fun and I really learnt a lot. So I've got the opportunity to start my own tour guid business. My first tours will be with the Swiss tour operator background (http://www.background.ch) to Israel in November and to Liverpool, European Capital of Culture 2008 in Sept. 2008. More coming up soon....
