  • Alahan Manastiri'nin Inanç Turizmi Açisindan
    Turizm Ekonomi ve İşletme Journal of Tourism Araştırmaları Dergisi Economics and Business Studies Cilt 2, Sayı 1, Haziran, s.73-83, 2020. Volume 2, Issue 1, June, pp.73-83, 2020. ALAHAN MANASTIRI’NIN İNANÇ TURİZMİ AÇISINDAN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ EVALUATION OF ALAHAN MONASTERY IN TERMS OF FAITH TOURISM Bahri KÖKŞEN1 ÖZET: Kadim Anadolu toprakları, uygarlığın her dönemine olduğu gibi Erken Hristiyanlık Dönemine de ev sahipliği yapmakta, bu dönemden kalma eşsiz sanat eserlerini bünyesinde barındırmaktadır. Bunlardan biri de Mersin Mut İlçesi sınırları içerisinde bulunan Alahan Manastırı’dır. Alahan Manastırı ve bu gruba giren tüm tarihi yerler inanç turizmi potansiyeline sahip bölgelerdir.Dünya çapında turizm beklentilerinin değişmesiyle birlikte Türkiye’de de inanç turizminin önemi son yıllarda daha da fazla artmıştır. Ülkemizde kapsamlı bazı faaliyetlerin gerçekleştirilmesine yönelik çalışmalar 1995 yılında başlamış ve halen yeni çalışmalar eklenerek devam etmektedir. İnanç turizminin konusu içerisinde değerlendirilen insanlık mirası olan bu eser, ne yazık ki gereken ilgiyi görememektedir. Bunun en önemli sebebi koruma, tanıtım -organizasyon eksiklikleri ve inanç turizmi konusundaki teşkilatlanma sorunlarıdır.İkincil verilere dayalı olarak yapılan bu çalışmanın amacı, Alahan Manastırını İnanç turizmi bakış açısı ile tanıtmaktır. Hıristiyanlık dininin doğuşu ile birlikte ilk Hıristiyanların ülkemiz üzerinden Avrupa ülkelerine dağılmaları, ilk Hıristiyanların bir bölümünün Anadolu topraklarına yerleşmeleri ve burada dini yapılar inşa etmeleri

  • THE LOWER GÖKSU ARCHAEOLOGICAL SALVAGE SURVEY PROJECT: Preliminary Results of the fi Rst Season
    ANATOLICA XL, 2014 THE LOWER GÖKSU ARCHAEOLOGICAL SALVAGE SURVEY PROJECT: Preliminary results of the fi rst season Tevfi k Emre Şerifoğlu, Naoíse MacSweeney, and Carlo Colantoni* Abstract This article presents the results of the 2013 survey season which was conducted along the Göksu River Valley in the Mersin Province of Southern Turkey. The project was initiated to document as many archaeological sites as possible before the valley is fl ooded, due to the planned construction of the Kayraktepe Dam in 2016. The two-week season enabled us to discover several unknown sites and further investigate known sites that will be submerged under the dam lake. This year’s work mainly focused on the alluvial plains where the Ermenek Çay and the Kurtsuyu Rivers join the Göksu River. The discovery of a pre-Classical settlement at Damtepe and the presence of a Chalcolithic level at Attepe were the most signifi cant discoveries of the season. A brief summary of the fi eld season is provided here including sections about the investigated sites and a discussion about local settlement patterns. The 2013 season of this Bitlis Eren University project, which is conducted in collaboration with the University of Leicester, was funded by the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara. We hope to continue surveying this important area in 2014, as throughout history the Göksu Valley was one of the main routes linking the Mediterranean coast to the Central Anatolian Plateau. We may also consider starting excavations at one or two major sites in the coming years, if the necessary funding is provided by the General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works of Turkey.

  • CAVES and THRONES of the GODS Tuesday
    CAVES AND THRONES OF THE GODS Tuesday, April 23rd - Tuesday, May 7th (14 Nights, 15 Days) Cappadocia, the Fertile Crescent, Crusaders and the Remote Cilician Plain There is perhaps no site more arresting for the traveler in the Near East than the strange and enthralling landscape of Cappadocia in central Turkey. The beauty of this region is not so much natural as phantasmagoric, a surreal and incredible vision of rock shapes and colors that draws forth the epithet “lunar”! We explore the wide stretch of cones and smooth folds and find hundreds of monasteries and churches concealed within them, sites where Christian communities lived and prayed for the greater part of two millennia. Mesopotamia (The Fertile Crescent), the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, was the fertile river plain where civilization was born and where writing first appeared. We examine the earliest civilizations of the world created in this fascinating region. Day 1 Istanbul Special category (4-star) hotel Members of our staff greet you at Atatürk airport and arrange for your transfer and check-in to your hotel. Our small group enjoys a welcome drink, introductions and then dinner. (D) Day 2 Cappadocia Yunak Evleri or similar luxury Cave Hotel Travelling distance for the day from the hotel is 130 km ~81 miles. A short morning flight to Kayseri takes the group into the heart of Cappadocia. Upon arrival, a 60 minute drive takes us to our hotel where we check in and get ready for an adventure. Cappadocia: Erciyes erupted millions of years ago, convulsing the surrounding landscape with a torrent of lava, smothering hundreds of miles in what must have been one of the greatest upheavals on the planet.
