| Visitors to Antalya take to the
streets and hidden courtyards of Kaleiçi or along
the Yacht Harbour, where an ice cream and a stroll down
the jetty are accompanied by sea breezes and waterside cafes.
The downside is that several slow seasons have resulted
in increased hassling by those idling outside their shops.
The yacht harbour and surrounds offer awe-inspiring views
both day and night that have moved many a local and foreign
painter, poet and writer to achieve great works.
With the arrival of Konyaalti's Beach Park, Antalya can
now assume its place as the pre-eminent seaside resort
on the Turquoise Coast. Stylish and tasteful cafes line
the seaside beach park promenade at Konyaalti, sharing
the lawns with decadent arrays of cushions, and backed
by a handful of characteristic meyhanes.
Meanwhile, residents looking for a quiet evening out
descend on Karaalioglu Park for a seat at one of the welcoming
tea gardens dressed in bright red or for a go at a line-up
of balloons with an old army rifle. When the heat and
humidity become too much to bear, there's bound to be
a Turkish Nights show at one of the hotels in town. |
