The pleasure of Hammam bath at Antalya


Antalya is a small town and clean as Singapore. there is no waste is divided The old town consists of the Ottoman buildings. Ottoman model home has been renovated but not leave their home form.


Mostly, they sell souvenirs and carpets due to the small streets of this old city in the part visited by many tourists to the old port old port Antalya.Many people who have a motor boat and offer services to surrounding coral islands surrounding Taurus mountains.

But, if you want to relax, we can hang out at fish restaurants around the harbor. Once dinner for 2 people, including red wine, about 22 Turkish lira, or 12 Euros. After lunch, you are always offered a Turkish tea or coffee free. But, I suggest better to drink coffee because Turkish tea is very concentrated. Plus 4 teaspoons of sugar alone, were still very bitter.

While the new city, more modern forms of buildings and many shops, but almost no mall. So, if you like shopping is not here. To break the city of Antalya is an attractive city. Throughout the city and in every corner there is a beautiful city park and well maintained. Every garden overlooking the sea and the Taurus mountains.

Interestingly, the people here, including young children or very young discipline in keeping the city clean. For example, school children who sat sitting in the garden is always throwing drink cans or plastic bags of garbage place. Sometimes I am as a person wondering Bandung, Bandung when ya can clean like this and there is no mound of garbage.

For food, the price also quite cheap. But unfortunately, there is no variation. Their main meal of chicken or lamb kebabs are eaten with bread without yeast and given a piece of fresh carrots, fresh red cabbage, red onion and salad. Then given citroen (lemon acid) for refreshment. As for rice, because Samin cooked with oil, so too oily. Bored with the same menu, we could go to a restaurant meal in China. Your shadow, surely it is a restaurant that China's taste standards.

You can order roast duck and fried noodles. and you'll get another taste of the cuisines of China in general. Because people here are also cooked China using oil. So, noodles cooked with oil Samin. After dinner is usually the person sitting in the back seat while enjoying tea garden Turkey. The funny thing is no matter where you sit, whether in parks, at the bus station or on the side of the road though, there are always people who sell tea with a very low price.

You can also get experience that can not be forgotten that bath Hamam. In every corner of the city, is where the public baths whose name Hamam. to pay 4 lira your family can enjoy this hamam bath. This place provided a room for men and women. After opening the clothes, we will be given a big towel and wide.

Covered only a towel, you go into a room with no water but filled with hot steam. Within 3 minutes you sweat out all the way in the sauna. When finished, we had to go to the room to shower to bed wet, ie, sleep dibangku of stone without steam. After that will come one who brings a kind of coconut fiber, but very smooth and your body is polished by a massage with oil and olijf (made of tiny little pieces of green color and can be eaten) for 15 minutes.

In the room that you have a massage bath with other people, about 10 people there in the bathroom Hamam. After that I had to shower with hot water and soap were also made by olijf oil. Turkish community friendly and polite. So, do not be afraid because there are no pickpockets here. If anyone dared to lift, let alone lift a tourist, will be severely punished.

For urban transportation, similar to urban transportation, but more polite on the road. They also did not stop at random. By paying 1 lira, you take the play around the city of Antalya until bored. After 3 days of our city is by renting a car without a driver went out of town to Pamukkale, Perge, Aspendos and the city history, Myra. and Well.
