Yacht trip on the coast of Alanya

-

    ENG We had no chance to walk down the small streets of Alanya this time. We did yacht trip along the coast. Our excursion started from jetty where we arrived by small bus, from west side. Our yacht was moving to the east, thus, the greatest Alanya hotels stayed at the west. We watched, in general, city shores and also visible part of fortress and red tower of Alanya (Kyzyl Kule).
     Some facts from history. Antique Alanya is known as shelter for pirates who kept in fear all trading navigation of the Mediterranean Sea. Another name of the city in those time - Korakessyon. After the battle of romans with pirates in 67 B.C. Marc Anthony presented this city to Kleopatra. The city joined the Byzantine Empire. At present time population of the city includes turks and greeks...
     No wonder that big yachts in pirates' style with black flagues are sweeping this part of the sea. I saw such ships at first time, and of course - appeared on the board of one. Unfortunately the weather was bad - the waves raised up to meter and a half, and our yacht swayed. Hence we came ashore at the port of Alanya. If you will decide for long sea trip at pirates' yacht - be sure, you are not prone to sea sickness, and better - with no small kids.
     At the end, adorable views of Alanya and good pictures compensate everything. :-)

    RUS.  Прогуляться по улочкам Аланьи в этот раз не получилось. Мы отправились в небольшую поездку на яхте вдоль берега. Экскурсия началась с пристани кораблей куда мы подъехали на маленьком автобусе, с западной стороны. Яхта двигалась в восточном направлении, поэтому самые большие отели Аланьи остались на западе. Мы увидели, в основном, берега города, а также видимую с воды часть крепости и красную башню Аланьи (Кызыл Куле).
     Немного истории.  Античная Аланья раньше служила прибежищем пиратов, которые держали в страхе все торговое судоходство в Средиземном море. Другое имя города в те времена – Коракесион.  После сражения римлян с пиратами в 67 г. до н.э.  Марк Антоний подарил этот город царице Клеопатре.  Город вошел в состав византийской империи.  В данное время население города составляют турки и греки…

     Не удивительно что большие яхты в пиратском стиле с черными флагами бороздят эту часть моря. Такие корабли я увидела здесь впервые, и в итоге – оказалась на борту одного из них. Жаль, не повезло с погодой – в этот день волна поднималась до полутора метров и нашу яхту качало из стороны в сторону.  В итоге мы сошли на берег в порту Аланьи.  Если решитесь на длительную морскую прогулку на пиратской яхте – будьте уверены,  что не страдаете морской болезнью, и лучше - без маленьких детей.
     Тем не менее, классные виды города и хорошие фотографии компенсируют все неудобства. :-)
