Turkey

29 Nov 2008

Just coming to end of a fabulous week in Antalya in Turkey. One of those cheap package deals from the internet that you have know real idea about. But turned out to be a week in a 5 star Sheraton (excellent hotel) and evening meals in three of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten in, anywhere.

They are: 7 Mehmet (some of the best fish I’ve ever had) Marco Polo (some of the best pasta I’ve ever eaten) and Club Arma – most certainly the best creme brulee in the world. Amazing staff and service – felt like old friends immediately – and all for a pretty reasonable price.

Then you’re just 20 minutes away from one of the best preserved Roman theatres in the world, Aspendos. Quite incredible. And the ancient city of Pergo – in which you can walk down a miraculously preserved Roman street, paved with mosiacs, lined with columns, and with a hundred shops on each side of the road. As near to going back in time as it is possible to experience.

A pretty good internet find which I thoroughly recommend.
