Fourth, in late spring, rare Caretta sea turtles lay eggs on Chirala Beach. On this occasion, tourists are asked not to light bonfires on the sand, not to use flash cameras and not to interfere with the natural process. With a successful outcome, around the beginning of autumn, small seafarers hatch from eggs on the beach.

IN WINTER, KEMER IS DESERTED AND CALM

Winter and summer Kemer differ dramatically. In the off-season, a tourist has an empty city at his disposal without queues and hustle.

ANCIENT ANTALYA IS GOOD IN ANY SEASON

The evening views are good here.

Relief, architectural and natural monuments – everything here is as if from an old oriental fairy tale.

Imagination can run wild in Adrian’s Gate. Just imagine how many wagons passed through them, thousands and thousands of people, to form such ruts.

BALLOONS OVER THE SNOW CAPS OF CAPPADOCIA

ATOR’s correspondent got to Goreme in the early morning, when the sun had not even thought of rising. The noticeable temperature difference between the Mediterranean coast and the mountain height of 1100 meters was not slow to make itself felt after the hot bus.

With the onset of daylight, my thoughts cleared up.

The fabulous “houses of dwarfs” made the imagination run wild.

Since we are in the “Land of Beautiful Horses”, then here they are – horses. Some of them just don’t like to be photographed.

Goreme was changed beyond recognition by the snowfall. The fairy tale has become a Christmas one…

Where to go without balloons. And how good it is to look at them from the panoramic roof of the hotel over a delicious hot breakfast with the crackle of firewood in the stove.
