In September 2019, we rested in Kemer for the second year in a row. True, this year in another hotel next door to the previous one. And for the second year in a row they used the services of the travel agency "Ginza Travel". Last year, my son and I visited Antalya with a tour, and this year we also decided to visit Antalya. Once again, our guide was Darkar, already familiar to us. Our trip started from the travel agency office in Kemer. The morning turned out to be cloudy and the guide suggested that we visit the Tunektepe Teleferik cable car at the beginning. And last year Tyunektepe Teleferik was our final point.
We drove up to the lower station "Tunektepe Teleferik", got off the bus and went to the cable car. The queue was very small. This is a very popular landmark of Antalya among locals and tourists. Last year we stood in line longer. The weather cleared up, the sun came out, but there was a slight breeze. In case of strong winds, the cable car is closed.
The road was opened in February 2017.36 booths. Each cabin can accommodate 8 people. The ascent to Mount Tyunektepe lasts about 20 minutes (+/-). The height of the mountain is 680 meters. At the top there is a cafe, a revolving restaurant. I can't say anything about prices. Didn't visit. But according to the reviews of tourists on the Internet, the prices can be said to be affordable. The mountain offers a beautiful view of the Turtle Island, the Konyaalti region, the Mediterranean Sea.
After visiting Tyunektepe Teleferik, we went to the old town of Kaleichi. In comparison with last year, the tour route has been slightly changed. We liked it very much. We looked at other streets of the old city. The group approached the monument of Attalus II, again saw the clock tower, the Iskele mosque, the Yivli minaret. Darkar is a very interesting storyteller. He is a historian by education. Excellent command of the subject.
Further, our path lay to Hadrian's Gate. Along the streets of the old town of Kaleichi, we moved to the old port.
We met a local fast food peddler (this is a simit - a bagel sprinkled with sesame seeds). A ship was waiting for us at the port, on which we took an hour-long cruise around the Mediterranean Sea. Returning to the port, the group, again along the streets of the old city, walked up the steep hill to the bus. Last year, on a different route, we took the elevator from the port to the bus. Then we were taken to the Upper Duden waterfall. We arrived at the park and went to the observation deck to the waterfall.
At the end, the group was taken to lunch at the shopping complex "Ozdelek Park". Last year the group had lunch at Mc Donald's, and this year we were fed huge Turkish burgers and watered ayran. After lunch, we had free time to visit the shopping complex "Ozdelek Park".
