The port city of Antalya is the eighth largest city in Turkey and has a long history dating back to days of the Greeks and Romans. The old town is nestled on the side of a hill overlooking a small inlet of the Mediterranean Sea. Twisty alleys zig zag up and down the hill that is lined with old buildings, cafes, and mosques. At the top of the hill are several towers and public squares with giant sculptures commemorating famous Turks. Circling the old town is a large road that leads into the surrounding mountains. There are a number of elevated walkways that let you cross from the old town to the new one, complete with outdoor escalators. The newer part of the city extends in all directions with large boulevards lined with apartment buildings spotted with satellite dishes. The north side of the city is perched on a cliff overlooking the sea, with a number of fancy resorts, making it a destination for international jet setters.
