Antalya Hail

So Antalya is advertised as having 300 days sunshine a year and indeed that may be a fairly accurate figure but what they don’t advertise is that when it rains, it totally chucks it down. The drainage system isn’t that great, so after a few housr torrential rain, flooded streets are commonplace. However, last week [...]

Homemade Market

In Liman Mahellesi every Tuesday there is a large fruit and veg market held in a large covered area set aside for exactly that purpose.

Amesha Spenta

While I was waiting to meet some friends in Kaleiçi I decided to pop along for a chat with Münir, the owner of Mr Blues Bar where I host an open mic night every fortnight.  However, I forgot that he doesn’t open on Sunday nights but all was not lost as I noticed a band [...]

Kaleici Parties

I was out and about in Kaleici and stopped into Art Cafe to see who was there. I didn’t see anyone I knew apart from Üzüm.  Every time I see her I have to get my photo taken with her because she is sooooo beautiful.   I had already taken one with her but then [...]
