Antalya, Turkey Travel Guide

My favorite city in Turkey is Antalya. This is a warm little city, and the most bustling old town is only a dozen kilometers from the airport, making it very convenient to get around. Here, I saw the best-preserved ancient theater of Aspendos, which is still in use today. You can hear sounds clearly from any corner of the theater without any amplification equipment. Behind the theater is an abandoned city, with only ruins remaining. I was amazed at how this theater survived the war. Here, I saw the most beautiful Mediterranean Sea, with warm waters and majestic snow-capped mountains on the other side. Occasionally, a few cruise ships pass by, giving it a fairytale-like feel. Here, I saw a bustling ancient city, with the still-standing Hadrian's Gate as the boundary. This gate is like a magical tool, with ancient and exquisite old houses inside and a bustling new city outside. Here, we visited the Antalya Museum. Antalya was founded in ancient Greece, so this museum preserves many exquisite statues. The best part is that you can download an app with Chinese explanations. There is also a small toy museum here, with exquisite toys from different periods. We met local children on a study tour, and they greeted us warmly. Here, the most beautiful scenery is overlooking the entire city and the sea from the cable car, with a wide view and beautiful scenery. There is a drink shop on the mountain top, and Turkish black tea for just over a dollar is really affordable. Here, we also experienced many stories. A friend's child had a problem with their braces, and we received help from many people. A driver who didn't speak a word of English communicated with us through body language and provided us with meticulous service. Someone would offer a helping hand when we were afraid to jump down the steps... Here, in this small city, we found our own romance...
