Good day to all. I would like to tell you about our visit to the landmark and historical site in Antalya, Hadrian's Gate. We rested at the Siam Elegance Hotel & Spa in Bogaskent. One day we decided to have some fun and visit this monument of ancient architecture. We rented a car at the hotel ($40 per day) and drove to Antalya. A visit to the amphitheater in Aspendos and shopping was planned, so it was dark at Hadrian's Gate.
The rhythm of movement in Antalya is quite peculiar. Understanding the rules of the road among the local population is still something In the old part of the city, where this architectural monument is located, the streets are narrow, and this also applies to the roadway. Finding parking is extremely difficult. The gate itself, i. e. the arch, looks impressive. Columns and porticos go up very monumentally.
The track from numerous carts, pressed into the stone pavement for hundreds of years, makes you freeze and think about the passage of time and the history of mankind. You can touch a piece of history with your own hands, although the place, in my opinion, has turned from a historical place into a tourist one.
The surrounding area is full of inexpensive shops and cafes. Walking through the narrow streets, you involuntarily wonder if the film “The Diamond Arm” was filmed here, you look under your feet in anticipation of a banana peel and the fatal phrase “Damn it! ” In a word, I recommend it. Here, both party-goers and lovers of antiquity will find entertainment for themselves. Be sure to visit this place, the impressions will remain for many years.
