Turkey #2: Welcome to paradise

ENG

Our journey begins somewhere near Antalya. First of all, in amazing IC hotel, perfect for enjoying and relaxing, with huge and beautiful garden where I would have stayed whole day long cuddling with cats near the swimming pool in shade of palm trees, if there hadn't been so many things to enjoy and discover. The first spot we visited were Kurşunlu waterfalls situated in a national park, favorite picnic spot for people from Antalya. Its water falls down from 18 m and forms 7 small ponds. You would think you're in the Brazilian jungle if there weren't smells of fresh orange and pomegranate juices mixed with the smell of Turkish delight. I really cannot find the words to describe that beauty, that colors, that smells, that oasis. Our trip continues to the ancient aqueduct in Aspendos which during its Greek and Roman times transported water to the city over a distance of 19 km. The legend says that it was built by a man who wanted to impress the king of Aspendos and marry his daughter. Unfortunately for him, the daughter married the other man who built the ancient theathre which the king chose in the end because of its acoustics. Hope you enjoy this post and until our new destination ;)

Nuestro viaje empieza en los alrededores de Antalya. Primero, en  maravilloso IC hotel, perfecto para disfrutar y relajarse, donde me habría quedado el día entero acariciando gatos al lado de la piscina en la sombra de palmeras, si no hubiera más cosas que me esperaban. Primero vistamos las cataratas Kurşunlu, situadas en el parque nacional que lleva el mismo nombre. El agua caye de 18 m de altura y forma 7 charcos. Uno podría pensar que está en la jungla brazileña, si el aire no oliera a zumos de naranja y granada mezclados con el aroma a delicia turca. Me faltan palabras para describir esa belleza, esos colores, esos olores, ese oasis. Nuestro viaje continua hacia el aqueducto de Aspendus que en su epoca griega y romana transpotaba aqua hacia la ciudad en la distancia de 19 km. Dice la leyenda que un hombre construyó el aquedcuto para impresionarle al rey de Aspendus y casarse con su hija. Desgraciadamente para él, la hija se casó con otro hombre que construyó el teatro antiguo y que el rey prefirió por su acústica. Espero que os guste este post y os espero en nuestro siguiente destino ;)

Naše putovanje počinje u blizini Antalije. Prvo u predivnom hotelu IC, savršenom za odmor i uživanje i u kojem bih ostala celi dan mazeći mačke pored bazena u hladu od palmi, da nije bilo još lepših mesta koje su čekala da budu otkrivena. Jedno od njih su Kuršunlu vodopadi koji se nalaze u istoimenom nacionalnom parku, popularnom mestu za izlet i piknik. Voda se spušta sa visine od 18 m, pritom stvarajući 7 malih jezera. Mogli biste da pomislite da ste negde u brazilskoj džungli da nije mirisa sveže isceđenih pomorandži i narova koji se mešaju sa mirsom ratluka. Ne znam kojim rečima bih opisala tu lepotu, te boje, te mirise, tu oazu. Put nas dalje vodi do antičkog akvadukta u Aspendosu koji je u grčko i rimsko vreme slao vodu u grad dužinom od 19 km. Legenda kaže da je jedan čovek sagradio akvadukt kako bi zadivio kralja Aspendosa i oženio se njegovom kćerkom. Na njegovu nesreću, devojka se udala za drugog prosca koji je iz istog razloga sagradio antički teatar, a koji se kralju na kraju više svideo jer je bio zadivljen njegovom akustikom. Nadam se da će vam se dopasti i ovaj post a ja ću vas čekam na našoj sledećoj destinaciji ;)
