A fun but leisurely day began with a nice breakfast, followed by some quality chill time at the hotel pool. Later in the afternoon, we made a our way via a circuitous path to the Antalya yacht harbor. We walked through Karaalioglu Park, which is very lovely, right against the sea, and which has some interesting features, like a house to store wild cats, which seem to be omnipresent in the city. We made our way along the shore, past the Hidirlik Tower, then though the southern end of the old city (Kaleici) — lots of handcrafted trinkets being hard-sold to tourists. We then worked our way down, past the most aggressive peanut salesman I’ve ever seen, and eventually into the harbor.
We got on a boat ride that went along the coast out to Duden Falls. It was near sunset when we were getting back, so it made for great light for photographs. I think I got ripped off on the price, but I need to be tougher in negotiating with these local salesman. Nonetheless, it was a great way to see the sights. We were actually able to see our hotel and the fact that there is a waterfall on the cliff below it; and from the restaurant across the street there is sea access and a swimming area. We’ll have to go check it out and do some swimming in the Mediterranean.
