Beware of Strinking206 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.Aug 16, 2019

The Waterfall272 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.Aug 16, 2019

The Amphitheater at Side221 viewsNot as large or well preserved as the Aspendos Theater, but far better placed to view the eclipse!Aug 12, 2019

The Amphitheater at Side266 viewsThe Side Amphitheater was ground zero for viewing the spectacle on eclipse day. I shudder to think of how packed the place must have been, and I think our location on the beach at the Kaya Side Hotel must have been much less crowded and more relaxed.Aug 12, 2019
