Nature is beautiful as always. The hotel was disappointing, so before you say "I want to go there" Read my review about Akka Antedon : )
Istanbul is a super city!
Here is an alternation: 1-2 days of rain, 1 day of sunshine, 1-2 days of cloudy
Winter Alanya... end of January... +20C
Turkish resort town - Side
Turkey is not only the Anatolian coast, there is something to see and 600 km from the sea : )
