Spring time

        ENG. In this Summer I published my first book. I've been fascinated by the process of the book creation and publication in online stores and - how the book takes its way to the reader. (I translated some books into English). Spontaneously I decided to create my own book. I got many articles and photographs about Turkey - and I put everything into one book.          Book description: Photobook   which includes stories about Turkey and Antalya. Each story is added by photographs to give the reader perception of beauty of the nature in these places. This book is for easy, pleasant reading, for those who have already been or wished to travel to Turkey, where near comfortable resorts , old relics and monuments of architecture along with magnificence of Medieval Age exist.        RUS. Этим летом я решилась опубликовать свою книгу. Меня увлек процесс создания книги и процесс публикации в интернет-магазинах и на инте...

           ENG. When we were in Istanbul, we walked around the city during the whole day. Recently, looking through articles, I understand that the place where we walked almost half of the day was Topkapi palace. Only now I have a perception that this huge part of the city is the palace consisting of 20 buildings located in four yards. (at those time it was partly closed for reconstruction, and some buildings were closed). I remember plates signed "Topkapi palace. Avlu 1 (2,3 or 4), but I could not translate it into Russian language. It turned to be four entries from different locations, into four yards (Avlu can be translated as "yard"). It is very big area (but we think that this was a park :-)).      Have a good weekend!       RUS. Когда мы были в Стамбуле, то целый день гуляли по городу. Недавно, просматривая статьи, я осознаю, что местом, где мы гуляли почти пол-дня, был дворец "Топкапы". Только сейчас ко мне приходит пони...

      ENG. Fethiye is one of the most beautiful places of Turkey, with wealthy historical and cultural inheritance. This place is very popular among european tourists; here, actually, anyone barely speaks Russian.Location of Fethiye is approximately in 3 hours of driving from Antalya - and only in one hour you can approach Greece by sea transport - by yacht or boat. I visited these places some years ago - attended excursions to Kekova and ancient city Myra - everything is so close but from the other side - there are myriad of roads.      We stayed in small cozy hotel this year, in the center of the city, close to the harbor - thus, we can easily walk through the city, watch beuatiful sunsets and amazing sea views... and in the morning to escape from the city into  fresh and warm sea on the boat - towards those places where two seas - Aegean and Mediteranean - merge into one.      I wonder now how we could drive awa...

     Coast line of Turkey or Turkish Riviera has the length approximately one thousand kilometers. I can talk about unique Turkish nature and beauty of hotels endlessly. Each corner of Turkey is a sole theme, each trip unique and differs from previous one.      In this post I conditionally divided all coastline into seven resort areas – by the names of the greatest coast cities: Bodrum, Belek, Kemer, Antalya, Alanya, Fethiye, Marmaris. The nature and the climate are diverse – it can affect the quality of rest and the mood.      Побережье Турции или Турецкая Ривьера имеет общую протяженность около тысячи километров.  О неповторимости турецкой природы и красоте отелей можно говорить бесконечно.   Каждый уголок Турции это отдельная тема, каждая поездка неповторима и отличается от предыдущей.      В этом посте я условно разделила все побережье на семь курортных зон – по названиям наиболее крупн...
