History, Culture, Nature in Antalya and the Western Mediterranean History, Culture, Nature in Antalya and the Western Mediterranean “As a result of a series of excursions to ancient cities in the Pamphylian plains within a few hours’ ride from Adalia, I was astonished to find out that there existed numerous ancient monuments, mostly dating to the Late Imperial period, either on which nothing has been written and researched or which have not received the attention they deserve, extending over a few miles. Nevertheless, its landscape, more beautiful than all the places I have known, had captured me the most.” Karl Graf von Lanckoronski Städte Pamphyliens und Pisidiens, 1890 Olympos Çavuşçu Çavuşçu Dam

Surrounding the gulf and south of the Western Taurus Mountains, approximately 25 kilometers from the Antalya city Ertokuş Han centre, are a series of caves located 500-600 meters above sea Gelendost Uluborlu Mount Gelincik level. Situated on the slopes surrounding the springs that feed Senirkent Nature Park D330 Şarkikaraağaç Kırkgöz Lake, these caves tell the stories of the prehistoricDinar past to us today. Barla Lake Artefacts discovered during the excavation of these caves distinguish Eğirdir not only the periods of Anatolia’s distant past, but those of humanity as well. The most notable of these caves is Karain Cave. Gönen Atabey Keçiborlu Karain Cave, located on the upper slopes of the springs of Kırkgöz D695 Lake near Yağca village in the Döşemealtı district has been a host D330 to every era of human civilisation. Traces of human occupation in Konya the Karain Cave go back hundreds of thousands of years to the Eğirdir D330 Early Stone Age. They continueAcıgöl to, and also include, the Middle Stone Age, Later Stone Age (Mesolithic), Copper Age (Chalcolithic), D650 Aksu Lake Denizli Bronze Age and subsequent ages, giving todays visitors insight into Isparta Beyşehir all of these eras.

The changes which have occured in the profile and tendency of the customers, force the tourism sector inevi- tably to improve the products according to the demand’s needs. In order to meet the needs and expectations of the customers and changed features of the demands, it is necessary to improve new tourism types in the different fields. Interesting tourism products and services are showed as the alternative of the mass tourism and reflect the whole tendencies which have improved to satisfy different and special interest beyond the interest which have improved around sea, sun and sand. So, improving interesting tourism products and services become very im- portant. One of the interesting tourism products and services (especially for the cultural tourism) is the tradi- tional Turkish Bath (Turkish Hamam) which have been to be transferred from the past to the present. The tradi- tional Turkish Bath (Hamam) is the variant of a steam bath, which can be categorized as a wet relative of the sauna. The Turkish Baths have played an important role in cultures of the Turkey, serving as places of social gathering, ritual cleansing, and as architectural structures, institutions, and (later) elements with special cus- toms attached to them.

  • Lifestyle Migration to Turkey
    LIFESTYLE MIGRATION TO TURKEY: EU CITIZENS LIVING ON THE TURKISH SUNBELT1 İlkay Südaş, PhD [email protected] EGE UNIVERSITY, FACULTY OF LETTERS, DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY, TURKEY Lifestyle migration terms the migration movement of relatively affluent individuals moving voluntarily to the places where they believe they can lead a better life. This is a form of migration that emerges related to rapid globalization and there is a strong nexus between lifestyle migration and tourism. Repeating previous tourist visits to the destinations are the main connection with the migration areas and purchasing second homes is a “stepping stone” (Casado-Diaz 2012) towards permanent or seasonal retirement migration. Friends and relatives already living in the destination are also influential in migration decision. O’Reilly and Benson (2009, 2) point out that the previous research has attempted to link the mobilities to wider phenomena using umbrella concepts such as retirement migration, leisure migration, international counter-urbanization, second home ownership, amenity seeking or seasonal migration. Combining these different conceptualizations, O’Reilly and Benson (2009) suggest the term “lifestyle migration” which is described as the migration movement of “relatively affluent individuals, moving, en masse, either part or full time, permanently or temporarily, to countries where the cost of living and/or the price of property is cheaper; places which, for various reasons, signify a better quality or pace of life. Lifestyle migrants are individuals with high mobility, permanently or seasonally relocating to the areas in pursuit of a better way of life. The seasonal or permanent migration of elderly northern Europeans towards the coastal areas of Southern European countries like Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Greece has become an important phenomenon.

Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site. In the afternoon we will drive to GREECE CRETE TURKEY Nafplion for check-in at hotel followed by dinner and overnight.

The new species appears closely related to H. osellai Brignoli, 1978. Detailed description and illustrations of the new and related species are provided. The relationships of the two species are discussed. Keywords Alanya, Antalya, Mediterranean, spider, woodlouse hunters Introduction Harpactea Bristowe, 1939 is large genus of dysderid spiders that includes 172 species distributed in the Mediterranean region from the Iberian Peninsula to Turkmenistan (World Spider Catalog 2014).

  • New Data on the Distribution and Conservation Status of the Two Endemic Scrapers in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea Drainages (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)
    International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology ISSN: 2639-216X New Data on the Distribution and Conservation Status of the Two Endemic Scrapers in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea Drainages (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) Kaya C1*, Kucuk F2 and Turan D1 Research Article 1 Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Turkey Volume 2 Issue 6 2Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Turkey Received Date: October 31, 2019 Published Date: November 13, 2019 *Corresponding author: Cuneyt Kaya, Faculty of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, DOI: 10.23880/izab-16000185 Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, 53100 Rize, Turkey, Tel: +904642233385; Email: [email protected] Abstract In the scope of this study, exact distribution of the two endemic Capoeta species in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea drainages was presented. Fishes were caught with pulsed DC electro-fishing equipment from 28 sampling sites throughout Turkish Mediterranean Sea drainages between Göksu River and stream Boğa. The findings of the study demonstrate that Capoeta antalyensis inhabits in Köprüçay and Aksu rivers, and streams Boğa and Gündoğdu, all around Antalya. Capoeta caelestis widely distributed in coastal stream and rivers between Stream Dim (Alanya) in the west and Göksu River (Silifke) in the east. Metric and meristic characters were collected from the fish samples which obtained in the field for Capoeta caelestis and Capoeta antalyensis, and museum material for Capoeta damascina. In this way, morphologic features of the species revealed and Capoeta caelestis compared with Capoeta damascina to remove the hesitations about the validity of the species. The conservation status of Capoeta antalyensis was recommended to uplist from Vulnerable to Endangered. Keywords: Freshwater Fish Species; Anatolia; Pisces; Capoeta antalyensis; C.
