Tiptoe Traveller in: Antalya, Turkey

September 2010 - 10 days in the sun

1. Accommodation: Mediterra Art Hotel - excellent location right in the heart of the old town
2. The old town (Kaleiçi) and the private beach (hard to find but well worth it!)
3. The Turks: very friendly and helpful
4. Backgammon: the local favourite pass-time to be enjoyed while drinking Efes beer and eating roasted chick peas
5. Public transport: brand new tramway; buses are good too once you have worked out the system.

1. Food: not bad but the same tourist menus everywhere - the kebabs are delicious though
2. Souvenirs: same old stuff everywhere - Turkish delights are a good thing to bring back to your friends. I bought some local honey and a set of Turkish tea glasses at a bargain price.
