Antalya old town

Saturday, March 29th, 2014
After breakfast this morning, we walked about 15 minutes to a bus ticket office to buy tickets for tomorrow to Denizli near Pamukkale. A shuttle van will take us from the ticket office out to the main bus terminal outside of town. It's then a 3 1/2 hour bus ride to Denizli where we'll find a smaller bus to take us to nearby Pamukkale.

 After the business was done, we wandered through the old town and down to what used to be the Roman harbour and is now the yacht and tour boat harbour. Antalya was founded over 2,000 years ago and the walls above the harbour are remnants of the old city walls.

 Throughout the downtown area outside the old town, we have seen over a dozen of these whimsical statues. This one is of a boy and girl playing hopscotch. There is another of about 6 or 8 human size green frogs sitting on park benches and laying on the grass. Another statue is a man in a Roman toga collecting money out of a stone ATM. Nice.

The view from our hotel roof top terrace. Although it was 22C and sunny this morning, the weather seemed to change late this afternoon. Even if tomorrow is not what we've become accustomed to, we'll be spending a lot of the day on buses. Antalya has been nice.
