Alanya - view of the citadel
Turkey is a country with an incredibly rich history. It is full of places of interest to tourists. It is impossible to list all the sights of Turkey, so we will mention only some of them.
ISTANBUL is the oldest city in Turkey with a large port. Here is the heart of the country's economy and industry. This city is unique - it is located on two continents. In Istanbul you can visit the following sights:
• Hagia Sophia. In 1453, the cathedral was created by a simple extension and over time turned into a mosque, while all the mosaics of the cathedral were covered. In the cathedral there is a copper-plated "weeping column", and there is also a cold window from which a cool breeze blows on a hot day.
• Grand Bazaar. Shoe store – the largest in Istanbul – is located right at this bazaar. The area of the bazaar is about 200 thousand square meters.
ALANYA is the most blooming corner of the earth, located in Turkey. Despite the fact that a large number of tourists constantly stay here, the city has managed to preserve its special character. Rich history and unique nature, as well as developed infrastructure make the rest in Alanya unforgettable.
In the old part of the city you can find ancient buildings, towers, as well as a small beautiful harbor. Above Alanya there is a magnificent landmark of the entire coast - the 13th century citadel. Behind the double walls of the citadel there are 150 towers.
In this city, houses, a caravanserai, a covered bazaar and a Byzantine church decorated with frescoes attract attention with their unusualness. Narrow streets constantly tempt shoppers with colorful boutiques. Women's shoes, copper items, carpets and jewelry - all this constantly surprises and delights tourists.
The history of Alanya begins with the history of Ancient Rome and became famous under the Seljuk Turks. In addition to the citadel, tourists can see the shipyard, as well as the octagonal shipyard tower. Under the citadel you can see sea caves and grottoes. They can be reached mainly by boat, and the most famous Damlatas cave can be reached on foot. This is the most amazing cave, which contains stalactites and stalagmites. It is distinguished by moist and warm air, which has a very beneficial effect on asthma patients.
