ANTALYA

Because of the archaeological and natural riches of the area, Antalya is also known as the Turkish Riviera. The sun, sea, nature and history combine to form a very popular resort, highlighted by some of the cleanest beaches in the Mediterranean. The 630km shoreline of the province is liberally scattered with ancient cities, harbours, memorial tombs and beaches, secluded coves and lush forests, many of which are easily accessible from the city.

With its palm-lined boulevard, internationally-acclaimed marina, and old castle with traditional architecture, all set amidst a modern city, Antalya is a major tourist centre in Turkey. In addition to the wide selection of hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops, the city also plays host to a number of sporting events throughout the year, like International Beach Volleyball, triathlon, golf tournaments, archery, tennis and canoeing competitions. The Cultural Centre, which opened in 1995, hosts cultural and art events in the fields of music, theatre, and creative arts. The main area of interest in the city is central old quarter within the Roman walls, known as Kaleici, and there are many good museums.

Districts: Akseki, Alanya, Elmali, Finike, Gazipasa, Gundogmus, Ibradi, Kale, Kas, Kemer, Korkutali, Kumluca, Manavgat and Serik are all towns in the province of Antalya.

Elmali

The exact founding date of Elmali, which is located within the borders of ancient Lycia, is unknown. Excavations to the east at Karatas near the village of Semahoyuk, and to the west in the village of Beyler indicate that the area has been inhabited seen the Bronze Age.

Throughout history it has suffered the rising and falling fortune of the Lycian region, being ruled respectively by the Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman empires.

Tumuluses There are several tumuluses in nearby villages. The first is west of the city in the village of Mugren, on top of which sits a small fortress dating back to the Roman era. Surface-level archaeological research indicates that the area was inhabited in the Bronze Age by various civilisations. Another village to the west, Semahoyuk, has a tumulus but due to the fact that an Ottoman cemetery is located on top of it, no research has been done. The third and largest tumulus is in Beyler, south of the city on the Elmali - Kas road. Excavations conducted here show that the area has been continuously inhabited from the Bronze Age right up to the present time. The items unearthed in the excavations are exhibited in the Antalya Museum.

East of the city 6 km from the village of Elmali near the village of Bayindir, there are several tumuluses side by side. Artifacts dating back to the 7th century BC were unearthed during the excavations. Now on display in a special section of the Antalya Museum, these findings represent a cross-section of life during that era. A statuette of pure silver and two of ivory bear witness to the fact that the art of sculpture in ancient Anatolia had reached a level of some sophistication.

Memorial Tombs There are tombs in Karaburun and Kizilbel. The walls of the King's Tomb in Karaburun, on the Antalya - Elmali road, is decorated with frescoes of scenes of hunting and war. The tomb in Kizilbel is west of the city on the Elmali - Yuvayol road, and is a single room made of limestone blocks.

Define Described as the Treasure of the Century, this was discovered in 1984, just north of the Antalya - Elmali road between the King's Tomb and the village of Gokpinar. Consisting of 190 pieces of ancient silver coins, the treasure was smuggled to America by antique treasure thieves. It is still on display in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts as part of a private collection. The Athens Decadrachme, 14 pieces each worth US$600,000, is said to be the world's most valuable treasure find.

Mosques The most interesting mosques in the area include Selcuklu Camii, Kutuk Camii, Sinan-i Ummi Camii, Omer Pasa Camii and medrese.

Korkuteli

Located 67 km from Antalya, Korkuteli is surrounded by Antalya on the east, Burdur to the north, Mugla to the southwest and Elmali and Kumluca to the south. The effects of the Mediterranean climate can be felt here in this region of lakes but the further one goes inland, the more continental the climate becomes with cold winters and hot summers.

3 km west of Korkuteli is the Alaaddin Mosque, only the door of which is still standing. In the same area is the Seljuk religious school which bears the name of its founde,r and was built by El Emin Sinaeddin of the Hamidogullari dynasty in 1319.

Gundogmus

There are numerous ruins of ancient cities in the district of Gundogmus, 182 km from Antalya. The important ruins are those of Hagiasophia city, 7 km north of Guzel Bag Bucagi, but no excavations have been conducted here. There are also the ruins of Asar at Sumene (7 km from the city centre), Kese (2 km east of the village of Senir) and Gedfi (11 km southwest of Gundogmus).

Other places to visit in the area include the Cem Pasa Camii; the ruins on top of Sinek Mountain, 15 km east of the city centre between Gundogmus and Pembelik; and the ruins of Kazayir at Tasagir, on the Gundogmus - Antalya highway.

Gazipasa

Situated 180 km from Antalya, Gazipasa is a charming little town with a beach 10 km long, beautiful forests and turquoise blue coves. Iskele, the site of the Koru and Kahyalar beaches, is an important breeding ground of the caretta caretta turtles. Mostly undeveloped up until the present time, Gazipasa is on its way to being an attractive tourist centre with accommodation, recreation facilities, an airport and yacht harbour still under construction, as well as the natural and historical treasures of the area.

Antiocheia Ad Cragum 18 km east of Gazipasa, and within the village of Guney, these ruins gets its name from the Commagene King Antiochus IV, and are found on the three hills that stretch out towards the sea. It has the ruins of a castle dating back to the Roman and Byzantine era, a column-lined boulevard, agora, baths, victory arch, a church and the city necropolis. The barrel-vaulted memorial tombs with their pre-entrance porticoes are well preserved and reflect a style peculiar to the region.

Adanda (Lamos) This ancient city is located 15 km northeast of Gazipasa, and was founded 2 km north of the present-day village of Adanda, on top of a high and steep hill. It is a walled city with a large tower south of the city gate, and among the ruins are a fountain carved into the living rock and two temples. Other significant ruins are the tombs in the necropolis made of single pieces of carved stone. These remains are a good representation of the culture and art of the mountainous Cilician region.

Nephelis This ancient ruin can be reached by going through the village of Muzkent 12 km out on the Gazipasa-Anamur road and taking the gravel road south for about 5 km. The southern area is surrounded by the sea and steep cliffs. The city consists of the acropolis and the remains of dwellings spread out in an east-west fashion. The only standing structures date back to the Roman and Byzantine periods and include a Medi******* Castle, a temple, a musical hall, irrigation system and the necropolis.

Selinus Located on the slopes southwest of Hacimusa Creek by Gazipasa Beach, the ancient city of Selinus is one of the most important cities in the mountainous Cilician region. On top of the hill is the acropolis as well as the walls and towers of a medi******* castle, which are fairly well preserved. In the Acropolis, a church and cistern have survived the ravages of time. The other buildings of Selinus are near the beach and on the slopes, among which are the baths, agora, Islami Yapi (mansion), aqueducts and the necropolis. Most of the bones in the Alanya Museum were brought from the Necropolis and allow the workshop in the museum to e

ABOUT CAPPADOCCIA

It is the region surrounded by the provinces of Niðde, Nevþehir and Aksaray in Central Anatolia. Its original name of Kapatukya derives from Persian and means "country of beautiful horses". Cappadoccia came under Hittite, Phrygian, Persian, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman rule. It is renowned for its "fairy chimneys." During volcanic activity millions of years ago, a layer of ash and lava accumulated on the plateau which was then in part covered by a layer of basalt. Pounded by rain and wind, the basalt took the shape of cones while the exposed ash and lava were eroded and created valleys. Human beings carved underground cities and sanctuaries into the rocks and caves some 10 thousand years ago and completed the amazing picture of Cappadoccia.

The town of Göreme, built in the center of these intriguing volcanic formations and the open - air museum are places to visit. Some of the unique experiences in Cappadoccia are contemplating the fairy chimneys from on top of a hill especially at sunset, experimenting with making ceramics in one of the workshops in Avanos, tasting the internationally recognized local wines and riding on horseback.

General Information About Turkey

Turkey is a large country in the shape of a rectangle - the only country bordered by four seas: the Mediterranean, the Aegean, the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, the smallest sea in the world. Teeming with fish, it belongs solely to Turkey where it is known as the "sweet sea".
The country's size is such that it takes seventy-five minutes for the sun to rise on all sixty-seven pro¬vinces. Turkey is a glorious, fascinating country, a perpetual divide between West and East, the past and the present, secularism and Islam, and between conservation and progress.
The natural beauty of the landscape, from the steep mountains in the interior to the undulating steppe, from the lunar landscapes of Cappadocia to the translucent seas, from the pebble and sandy beaches to the remains of ancient temples and other traces of the past, all make this a most enchan¬ting country. Herodotus, who was born here, said that the Turkish coast and sky were the most beautiful in the world. It is a country where over the centuries twelve civilisations have taken root, each one building on the former, and where each one has left its mark giving shape and origin to an immense culture of which we are all, at least in part, children and heirs.
After Palestine, it is the country where Christians can rediscover the origins of their faith, - the source of both the Tigris and Euphrates, the biblical rivers of Paradise and the progenitors of humanity.
Turkey is also a country described in art and literature as a dissolute place, where voluptuousness and sensuality ruled in the harem where the Sultan reigned over plump and ravishing odalisques. Lycian society, in Turkey, governed by a parlia¬ment, was the world's most ancient republic. Turks are hospitable, generous and helpful. In the big cities people are frenzied and always in a hurry, but in the interior people live according to the same nomadic and peasant rules and traditions that have existed for centuries. For nine thousand years, stretching back to the Neolithic period, women in Turkey have woven and stitched carpets; mostly Kilims which abound in religious and mythological symbols, and are called, not by chance, the "carpets of the gods". Turkish cuisine, the third most important in the world after French and Chinese, has a long tradition of giving pleasure in order, at one time, to titillate the sophisticated palates of the Sultans. Indeed the ancient Romans employed Turkish cooks to work in their kitchens.
Turkey is the paradise of the olive, the vine, citrus fruits and vegetables: it ranks sixth in the world in terms of wine production. It is the country of cashmere, the highly-prized wool, and of cotton and linen: in the south of the country vast acreages of plantations are found alongside modern oil refineries. Turkey is a country with fifty-seven million inhabitants, and it has been a republic since 1923 when Ankara became the capital.
This great city is modern, accessible and filled with tree-lined boulevards. It is also a European political city and the seat of parliament.
But Istanbul is still the centre of ancient attractions that will never be forgotten in the souls of the Turks. Today the city looks like an old lady, with its silhouette of minarets and its long bridge, a city of magic and mystery.
It has kept its magnificent ruins of the past and the glory of a place at one time dominated by three empires, fabulous Byzantium, then Constantinople the magnificent, and today beautiful Istanbul.

Turkey's tourism potential which thrived during the past 15 years, its natural beauties, clean seas, natural beaches and sun shining all through the year made Turkey one of the centers of the world tourism.

Thanks to ist national parks and natural protection sites, bird sanctuaries, luxuriant fauna and flora, mountain and pasture tourism activities, location on the Silk Way, attractiveness of its natural, intact bays for yacht tourism, location at the intersecting point of world religions, rivers being suitable for canoeing and rafting, hunting possibilities, shores convenient for underwater diving, beauty mud baths, numerous thermal spas and Sivas Balikli Cermik ( Hot Spring with Fish ), which is the only one of its kind in the whole world in which the doctor fish inside improve ill bodies, Turkey is also the heaven of alternative tourism. Accommodation facilities with the highest standarts in the world are situated in Turkey.

The increasing number of tourists and tourism every year coupled with the Turkish cuisine, the third largest in the world, and the Turkish hospitality and friendship, created and unparallelled sector.

And we thought just writing a scathing review on TripAdvisor was one of the ways to strike back at a hotel for not holding your reservation (and writing a Hotel Hell for us, of course).

But it seems a bloke by the name of Neil has started a blog about his bad experience at the Novotel Manchester Centre, called the Novotel = No Hotel blog.

Here's how it all went down, according to Neil:

On Saturday 28th 2006 I turned up at the Novotel in Manchester, expecting to check in quickly then relax in my room after a 3.5hr train journey. Only, things didn't happen as expected. Instead I was told my room had been cancelled and the hotel was now full. So now, apparently, I was expected to go out into the rain, with my case, and find another hotel.

When Neil presented his "confirmation of reservation" print-out, the front desk staffer told him that even though he received this, the room had not been reserved since his credit card had been declined.

Read the blog for all the backing and forthing that went on but since then, Neil has written a letter to the hotel, which he posted, and the hotel has written him a letter back, which he also posted. But it seems now, the hotel has gone dark on him.

At first, we suspected something fishy was going with this blog because the first post was dated October 26th. However, Neil didn't check into the hotel until October 28. When we contacted Neil about this he said:

Certainly, it all happened on the 28th, but to keep the story at the top I’m backdating the blog entries so they appear below the main de******ion. Confusing, I know, but it was the only way I could figure out how to keep one paragraph at the top.

Neil says he would just like the hotel to extend him a complimentary night in a Novotel or at least pay for the cost of his hotel room that fateful night in Manchester. Otherwise, he'll continue writing the No Hotel blog.

So now, whether Novotel Manchester likes it or not they have their own hotel blog.

It's been a while since we last gave you a Hotel Blog Watch, so this time around we are giving you a two-for-one deal. The first hotel blog is the The Fowley Hotel, whose blog details life at the hotel in Cornwall. For instance, right now the hotel is very excited about Christmas.

Our hotel staff Christmas Party took place at our sister hotel, The Falmouth last weekend (10th December). We joined forces and had a combined party with 2 of our other hotels, The Idle Rocks and The Metropole. As expected heaps of fun was had by all. Greg Henry ( Falmouth hotel manager) and Jason Parry (our Group Operation Manager) put on their Lou and Andy sketch from Little Britain which had us all rolling in the isles. A casino and disco had also been arranged and the night went on well into the early hours. Everyone had a fantasic time and as always it was a great to meet up with fellow colleagues. My team is still talking about the evening now!!

It sort of sounds like a bad "Office" party to us. As for the rest of the blog, there's a lot of information about Cornwall such as where to park, ferry and car services and beaches to visit. The hotel news is scarce except to announce any events going on at the hotel. Overall it's a tad ho-hum but still, A for effort.

Then there's the News at Garbe blog about the goings on at the Hotel Garbe in Algrave, Portugal. This blog does the same as Fowley in that it offers up useful surrounding area information and talks about events at the hotel, some with pictures.

But on the blog's Index Page they list "Reviews and Comments from our Guests". Of course, these are all oustanding reviews including one guest's poem submission, entiteld Ode to "The Garbe." Still these blogs are a bit more informative than a standard hotel web site and you get to hear and see more of the hotel in real time rather than judge late 1980's marketing photos on the internet.

Our only question is how come it seems to be only international hotels that are blogging? Why can't someone start blogging (from the hotel's perspective) about the Chateau Marmont or even the downward spiral of Six Columbus? But on the other hand, we guess that's what we're here for.
