Antalya Old Town

Antalya is often called the Riviera of Turkey. The old part of town dates back over 2,000 years. The 1st two pictures are of Hadrian's Gate, the main gate into the old city: the arches and one of the watch towers. 3rd shows the original road surface where it passes through the arches of the gate, well worn by chariot and cart wheels. 4th is another Roman era watch tower. The Romans had some amazing technology, but the clock was added by the Ottomans. The last 2 pictures are of typical narrow old city streets.Weiterlesen
