Spring ahead of schedule
Dedicated to the inhabitants of temperate latitudes.
There is no practical meaning in this text, as they say, a little sun in your feed : ))
Winter is, of course, beautiful - frost and sun. . . Here, for example, is mine "Winter look at Murom". What if there is no sun? And for a very long time there is no... It becomes sad, "nervous" and gray at heart, even run to the solarium : )). And all these lotions with additional room lighting and bright elements in the interior of the room are just an ambulance for winter depression, but treatment is needed. And we decided to arrange spring for ourselves ahead of schedule, and go to Turkey in February for the sun, just the holidays for the children, and drink my birthday away at the same time. To be honest, the second is more important : ))
I confess that many of our acquaintances did not understand and do not understand what to do in Turkey in winter. I answer: nothing needs to be done!
And the sea? Yes, the sea is not going anywhere. Here it is, enjoy
What about swimming? Oh, yes, as much as you like, you can even in the sea, just think, the water temperature is as much as +17, not in ice : ))
In fact, of course, there are a lot of hotels on the Antalya coast of Turkey, where you can spend time with benefit (or not quite benefit) for the soul and body, like in a sanatorium. We stayed in one of these hotels - Adalya Elite Lara 5* here ).
I can’t recommend it directly with confidence, but it has the necessary functionality for a winter holiday, you can keep in mind.
Winter in Antalya is good for sightseeing.
And even we, lazy people, had the idea of renting a car for educational trips. But it didn’t warm up, the flame didn’t flare up from the spark : )). But we still got to Antalya, which I recommend to all winter holidaymakers. Not hot, no crowds of people.
Although after the deserted resort areas, the central part of Antalya is very crowded
But it is worth going deeper into the streets of Kaleici - only bored merchants who seem to be surprised by tourists themselves.
Or even meet the princess, as my daughter said. This, however, was on our other trip, but also not quite seasonal, at the very beginning of May
Whatever one may say, but all the streets lead to the old port. There is no particular fuss there, boat trips along Antalya are surprisingly arranged. But we will admire the contrasts of the old and modern cities from the shore.
By the way, you can easily travel back in time from the present to the past, or vice versa, using the panoramic elevator, completely free of charge. But the photo on the left can be seen.

Ah, those tangerines
In Antalya, we had a goal - dondurma. For some reason, we did not meet the treasured carts for a long time, but we found them. ! At first, the children took it as an ordinary purchase of ice cream, but then the show began to the great delight of the children and the indescribable delight of the few tourists.
And, probably, only Antalya can have such beautiful fruit stalls
And the most delicious freshly squeezed pomegranate juice ($1)
I remember in Crete last year we we didn't manage to see the waterfall, but the children wanted so much : )). Whatever you do for the sake of the children. . . We also dropped in to the Duden Park to look at the Lower Duden waterfall.
From the sea, they say, it looks spectacular. But even this is enough for our common development. In general, the place itself is very nice. We were here "a thousand" years ago, when there was no park or nearby residential complexes.
Dü den River
Agree, it is very reminiscent of our end of April, when the heat comes for a day or two, coolness still blows from the earth, and the air already smells of the sun. The trees have not warmed up yet. A little more and you can't stop the riot of greenery.
So it will be, but a little later : ))
In fact, during the training camp in winter Turkey, we tuned in to possible rains. And remembering how the October Prague met us with a downpour, my husband set a condition - the presence of an umbrella in a suitcase is a must!! ! Then I was too lazy to take an umbrella because of a baggageless ticket : )). This time I took it, the same one bought in Prague, only because it is so flimsy and light, completely invisible in the wilds of our family suitcase. I trusted Yandex, he promised a week without rain, and did not let me down.
Let there always be sunshine!
