Perge
by balfor
Perge is an old Roman ruin pretty much out in the middle of no-where, which goes a long way to explaining why it is still a ruin and not a town built out of recycled marble. It is a pretty cool town though. See travelogues for more photos.
I'd give you more information about where it is,etc, but I have absolutely no idea about where it it or anything. The tour I was on was arranged by the Navy and I just signed up for it... Leave it to a sailor to be in the middle of a desert and not know how he got there! :-)

Chrissy3's new Antalya Page

I have been to Alanya in Turkey twice this year in May and again in July and I am returning in September. It is a beautiful place and I found the people very friendly though obvious precautions at night as you would anywhere. It is very cheap to eat in the real Turkish cafes and restaurants but expensive on the harbour. Alanya is very beautiful also at night with Cleopatras castle lit up on the mountain. Can't wait to return.
