White travertines The cave developed as 3 lev-els on top of each other. The bottom and middle level are active during rainy seasons

and the upper level is always dry. Altnbeik Cave is like an underground stream where waters that seep underground are collected and disposed. There are many still lakes within the cave in the fall. From the sand and pebbles in the cave, it is believed that underground streams with strong current flow in the lower and middle section in spring. In the upper level, where there is zero activity, there are rock block at the

base and stalagmites and stalactites. The base of the middle level resembles a stream bed. The rock blocks take up a lot of space in this area and travertines and sand and pebble depots can be observed. The first 200 me-ters from the entrance is the lower level of the cave and this part is always under wa-ter. There is a 40 meter steep climb at the end of the lower level.

Three Seasons Spring, One Season Summer: Antalya

Located in the Mediterranean Region in the south of our country, where spring dominates three seasons of the year, and the most visited place by tourists, Antalya is one of our heav-enly corners.

The ancient city of Pamfilya is to the east, the ancient city of Lycia is to the west, and the ancient city of Pisidia is to the north of Antalya. Antalya is one of the cities in Turkey that has the oldest settlement history. Due to this reason, together with its climate characteristics, the amount of oppor-tunities to swim, its natural riches, its archaeological riches, and the variety of health tourism available such as Alanya Damlata Cave and Serik Zeytinta Cave, known as treatment centres, and its alternative sporting opportunities, Antalya draws attention in terms of tourism.

Due to its strategic location, Antalya has always been an important port city throughout history and been subject to sieges since the day it was estab-lished, hence why there are works of art belonging to nearly every single civilization.

Thanks to its archaeological and natu-ral riches, Antalya is the owner of the title of the steam engine of tourism. Antalya, where sun, sea, history, and nature come together in a magical way, is the owner of the most beauti-ful and cleanest shores of the Medi-terranean. Along its 640-kilometre long shore, Antalya has ancient cities, ancient ports, mausoleums, lace-like bays, beaches, lush forests, and rivers.

With its boulevards lined with palm trees, its international award-winning marina, Kaleii that forms an adorable corner with its traditional architecture, and its modern places, Antalya, the most important tourism centre of Turkey, is also home to activities such as the International Aspendos Opera

and Ballet Festival, the Piano Festival, the Golden Orange Film Festival, the Theatre Festival, the International Beach Volleyball Tournament, Tri-athlons, Golf Tournaments, Archery, Tennis, and Skiing Tournaments. The Antalya Culture Centre opened in 1995 hosts several cultural and artistry activities such as plastic arts, music, theatre, and exhibitions.

The tourism sector in Antalya started developing in the 1960s. In addition to the rich touristic values and at-tractions in the region, infrastructure investments and selective facilities have added momentum to this de-velopment over the years. Domestic tourism was the aim until 1985, since then foreign tourism has taken the forefront.

One of touristic characteristics of our province is the fact that it has new, high-class, and a higher number of accommodation opportunities in comparison to its competitors in other countries and regions. Antalya, with its slogan of Three Seasons Spring, One Season Summer, is home to immense touristic potential thanks to its history, its cultural and natural beauties, and ruins.

In this special edition of the Antalya Culture and Tourism Magazine that was prepared for World Travel Market 2013, we tried to introduce some of the values and beauties in our city. We walked hand in hand with you on the illuminated road of Antalya from past to present. We wanted to include you among the readers of our maga-zine, which set out with the slogan Everyone should see Antalya and invite you once more to our magnifi-cent city.

With warm regards,Sebahattin ZTRKGovernor of Antalya

Sleyman Fikri Erten estab-lished the Museum of Antalya in 1922, after the First World War, in order to protect artefacts saved from the inva-sion forces robbery. Initially the museum was in Alaaddin Mosque at Kaleii, after which it moved to Yivli Mosque, and

finally moved to the building it is in today, in 1972. To-day, the Museum of Antalya covers 30,000-m area, and consists of fourteen display halls, open-air galleries where

statues and various artefacts are on display, and a garden. An important part of the three ancient culture regions Lycia, Pamphylia, and Pisidia, located within the borders of the Antalya Region, which has the richest history in Anatolia having witness the history of humanity uninterrupted, establishes the responsibil-ity area of the Museum of Antalya.

Numerous scientists from all over the world come to Antalya, a unique open-air museum and international archaeological site with its archaeological riches, to carry out scientific excavations every year. Antalya Museum runs various recovery excava-tions and manages landscape plans of ruins in the area. Another definition used for the Museum of Antalya is Archae-ology and History Museum as well as a regional museum.

Most of the artefacts on col-lection are those recovered from excavation carried out in the region; the ethnographic artefacts on display are also compiled by museum experts. On display in the halls are artefacts, which reflect a his-tory dating over thousands of years, from the first settle-ment at Antalya to date, either chronologically or according to their themes.

Thanks to the sculptures belonging to the Roman Era at Perge and the interesting and unique discoveries during museum recovery excavations in recent years, the Museum of Antalya is one of the most important museums in the world. In 1988, the museum was awarded the European Committee Museum of the Year award.

As the fishing boats dance with the waves coming ashore, the shadow of the Castle of Alaeddin,

which is the unique heritage of the world, falls on the Mediterranean. Cleopatra, the last Hellenistic queen of the Ancient Egypt, appears in the history

of thousands of years and comes to the beach which is named after her once again.

Sneaking from the slopes of the tremendous Taurus Mountains, Alanya runs along hot seas. South winds reach the opposite slopes through sweeping the whiteness on the Mediterranean on every sunrise. Foothills of the Tau-rus Mountains go thousand shades of colours and the sea change from white to blue on Alanya Port. As the fishing boats dance with the waves coming ashore, the shadow of the Castle of Alaeddin, which is the unique heritage of the world, falls on the Med-iterranean. Banana gardens surround the coasts just like a golden necklace from end to end. As Sapaderesi resounds the canyon through which it passes with its waters with a gurgling sound, Alara Castle displays its glory of 800 years with all its silence. As the yor-uks make their way towards plateaus, almond trees wel-come the migration just like a bride with their white flowers. Cleopatra, the last Hellenistic queen of the Ancient Egypt, appears in the history of thou-sands of years and comes to the beach which is named after her once again.

Alanya, which dates back to the Upper Paleolithic Era (20.000 17.000 B.C.), was located between the regions of Pamphylia and Cilicia during the ancient age. The oldest-known name of Alanya, which is considered the city of both civilisations for that rea-son, is Korakesium. Being called with this name during the Classical Hellenistic and Roman periods, Alanya was named Kalanoras during the Byzantine Period. Alanya, which was taken by the Ana-tolian Seljuq Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat during the 13th century, was named Alaiye in dedication to the name of the sultan. In 1935, on the

other hand, Mustafa Kemal Atatrk who visited the city gave it the name of today.

There are many remains from ancient cities in Alanya, which is in the region of Pamphylia and Cilicia. Entrance to an-cient cities, which are under protection as ruins and on some of which the excava-tions works are sustained, is free of charge.

A trademark of 20 years in tourism As from the end of 2010, Alanya has 230 facilities, 34 thousand 898 rooms, 73 thousand 580 bed capacities certified by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. On the other hand, 353 facilities that are certified by the munici-pality have 16 thousand 377 rooms, 44 thousand 752 beds in the district. In 26 facilities with investment certificate, on the other hand, 9 thousand 327 beds have been attained in 4 thousand 257 rooms. There are totally 609 facilities, 55 thousand 532 rooms, 127 thousand 659 beds across Alanya.

Sports centre of the ancient age: SyedraSyedra, which reserves a large number of tablet re-mains that contain information about sportive games and competitions, is one of the important sports centres of the ancient age in the region. The ancient city, which is located in 20 kilometres east of Alanya, is entered through the monumental door that still remains standing. The city is surrounded by walls and its water backs, that are supplied with natural water resources and plastered within, have achieved to stretch from the ancient age until today. In the city, there are also the

Calabash is a plant from zucchini family that grown in creeper spe-cies. Its name in Latin is Lagenaria Sicenaria. Calabash in unlimited ways as form has been used in various areas throughout history after it is dried. When its inside is cleaned with pebbles and salty wa-ter, it was used for storing potable water and even due to its property to keep the water cold, it was used as thermos in hot summer days. It was used to convey hot water from one place to another and was named as Kevki among locals. Furthermore, it was an indispensa-ble tool of old kitchens. Calabash which was used to store materials such as oil, flour and salt, has taken its place at homes as sugar bowls,

cologne cups and flower pots. Calabash has a special place in Alanya in artistic terms as of 1970s. Calabashes which can be found in various dimensions and sizes are identified with Alanya by being painted in different colours, figures, and motives as a souvenir peculiar to the region. In music, calabash appears before us as a musical instrument named as Calabash Violin and in present day it is used as, utensil and office equipments for decorative purposes apart from lampshade, appliqu, souvenir and storage box. Man/ female figures whose exterior surfaces are formed by being painted in various patterns, have taken its place as a cultural figure of Alanya.
