Camel Rides460 viewsIn this case the "ride" was limited to sitting on the camel, which remained motionless, and having your picture taken. We would have to wait until we went to Morocco, many years later, to take a real camel ride.

The Waterfall533 viewsThe Kursunlu Waterfall is on a tributary of the Aksu, the major river of Antalya Province. We were lucky to see it in springtime; it's reported that it dries to a trickle in the summer.

No Swimming490 viewsHaving a picnic here by the waterside was also a no-no. But since we had already enjoyed our lunch on the nearby picnic ground provided by the park, it didn't matter to us.

Beware of Strinking441 viewsWe didn't know what "border" we might be crossing, let alone what "strinking" meant, so it was hard to avoid doing that; nevertheless, we escaped without any dire consequences, although as far as I know we never made it to Geziyolu, whatever and wherever that was.
