Saklikent: At 2200 meters high, it is a true, small ski paradise awaiting you with well preserved runways inviting  you to take off. The snow is great between  the end of December through the middle of May. There are some newly built smalller hotels at the peak with affordable rates. You can also find small huts, equipped with basics, limited menus and sometimes one meal. One does not have the high-quality of food as found in Antalya proper, but it  is nutritious and warm. It is an experience to be able to Ski in the beautiful slopes of Antalya. Did you know that Antalya has also a ski field? The distance to  Saklikent from Antalya  is an hour. A jeep is best for the journey. You can also rent a  sledge for the journey up to ski.. Of course you can not expect the ski circus  found in the dolomites,but  southern Turkey is  well known as a summer-paradise for water babies and sun-hungry ones.

Taking of photographs: This is  allowed everywhere. You should ask in remote villages or certain situations,via body language ,if the people would mind if you take their picture.Most times they are eager for you to take the snapshot. Films or memory-cards for your camera are not significantly more expensive than at your home. Film-processing  is economically done at the Expresservice and is ready in approx. 30 to 60 minutes at many photographic studios.

Television: In many of the big hotels you can watch  foreign television broadcasts and  euro news from the  satellites of  Astra or Hotbird in digital form.

Selge: Who can boast that he lives  between the remains  of an ancient settlement? Only the inhabitants of  Selge! They constructed their homes around an ancient mountain range settlement. One house is located right in the stadium, another exactly on the stage of an ancient theater. For the villagers, there is only one  complete remnant  to the ancient civilization- the old roman bridge over the river bed of the Eurymedon river. Selge was originally founded  by Greek soldiers who fought for Troja. Selge experienced its' period of bloom in the 5th Century B.C. with the trade relations with the Romans.To be seen are: the well preserved theater, a stadium, temple and remains of the city walls.

Shopping: A true paradise for 'good deals". Whether  it's textiles, leather, gold, carpets or spices,  everyone can find their heart's desire at prices suitable to all pockets, but not on the  shopping route excursions planned by the agencies.It is always possible to  have the traders discount their wares by 10-30 % , especially for textiles and leather, as many of them inflate their prices by the discount in the first place.It is the Orient so bargaining is expected.

Side: Big tourist centre (near Manavgat). Unlike Perge and Aspendos, the Greeks settled here not in the hinterland on a mountain, but directly at the sea. History tells that  the Greeks of Side having mixed so very much with the original  inhabitants, eventually spoke their language. In the 2./3th. Century A.C.Side became  a very prosperous port and main trading area place for the slave trade. Old Egyptian documents suggest that the big slave market of Side mainly offered black Africans. The profits from these businesses were used to  beautify the city and  finance games and competitions.  In Byzantine time,Side became  the  seat of the bishop. The theater where once so many people lost their lives, now served as  the holy supper  place. Side's theater was the largest in Pamhylia. Today, the ruins of rows of seats are  still very well preserved,while the stagehouse is lying in ruins. Also the remains of the city gate are worth seeing at the point of entry. Side is a booming  tourist place, with many big hotel chains  found directly on the well kept sandy beaches. This area is very well suited  for all holiday-makers and particularly for families  vacationing with children.
