Turkey: Duden Falls, Old Antalya, Aspendos

The morning started with a short tour fof Kaleici aka Old Antalya. Today it houses some old Ottaman houses along steep cobblered streets and the marina- which was where we took a short boat ride.

Setting sail off the Turquoise Coast where the sea is truly turquoise! Pretty! (And there were a number of handsome looking sailboats too.)

And here comes Duden Falls.

After the boat ride, we traveled to  Aspendos to visit a very well preserved theatre.
 Aspendos

This Roman theatre was built in 155AD, which means it's close to 1900 years old! That's mighty old and it's mighty well preserved. Theatre is still in use.

And we met a Gladiator at Aspendos too.

Gladitor and victorious sign. I wonder who he defeated?



Returning to Antalya for the night, we spot a road side bazzar not too far from our hotel.

I heart random local markets. Ok, actually I heart shopping la!

We managed to purchase Turkish Delights and dried fruits and nuts at a lower price than compared the shops which the tour guide has brought us to. Look at the fresh vege! I love Turkish egg plants! They taste juicy when cooked and look, they are shiny and fresh in the picture below!
