Alanya View from TEPE (The Peak)

It was Saturday (September 6th, 2014), I and daughter went to Tepe (the peak) by bus No. 5. Cloudy afternoon and the rain welcoming us at the top. It is 4 km distance from our home to Tepe. We were planning to have walking to our house from Tepe. We did it. But in the halfway, my husband's friend took us in her car. Lucky to get on that car. A few minutes later it was raining when we got home.

Here are the gorgeous view of Alanya that I took from Tepe :)

Rainbow in Alanya (mon, 28 feb'11)

Yesterday (mon, 28 feb'11) was a nice day that i can see a beautiful rainbow curving on the sky of Alanya. i could see the end of the rainbow's curve. the red, yellow and green were united in the curve to be a great painting of nature.

at that time, i was watching tv while my daugther looked outside the window and.....
dauhter: Anne...yağmur (mom... raining)
I: no....  no rain (because the sun still shining)
then i turn my head over the window, i saw the other part of Alanya was dark (exactly over the hill) and rain but the opposite part was sun shine. then i realized there is a beautifull rainbow.

directly i went to my bedroom to take my digital camera. then i go to the balcony first to take the pics there. then continue in the living room taking the pics over the window.

here are the pics......

alanya, tea, and the view

“Please come again even only for drinking tea with us” that's the sentence which will always says by the shop owner when the customer will leave them.

That is one of the hospitality from the people in Alanya. Small town at the seaside of Mediterranean sea which is famous with the turquoise beach and thats why called Turkish Riviera. In summer time, this town will be full by the european tourist, they are looking for the sun shine.

turkish riviera, the turquoise beaches of alanya

turquoise beaches along the bay of alanya, that's why alanya is famous by turkish riviera.

The Turkish Riviera (also known as "The Turquoise Coast") is a popular term used to define an area of southwest Turkey encompassing Antalya, Muğla and to a lesser extent Aydın and İzmir provinces. The combination of a favorable climate, warm sea, and abundant natural and archeological points of interest makes this stretch of Turkey’s coastline a popular tourist destination.

alanya harbour

alanya harbour (iskele) is located near to the red tower. there are many cafe and restaurant in that area. you can drink tea in the cafe near to harbour while you enjoy the beauty of alanya. every two times in a week, the cruises will come to the harbour. it brings so many tourist. while the tourist are walking around and go shopping, the cruises are staying rest at the dock.

alanya in the nite

beauty of alanya is still shown in the nite. with my pocket camera, i tried to capture it. the scenery in the nite is very beautiful. especialy when the shadow of the full moon is appear on the beach, i think that is perpect. and another nice view in the night is the cevre yolu (main street of alanya) seems like a snake.

impression of alanya

alanya is a seaside resort city in mediteranian region of turkey which is in antalya province. in summer time, it will be full of tourist from abroad especially from europe. the beauty of alanya become a magnetic for the tourist to comeback again in the next summer.
