Antalya (Turkey)

Staying in this city was a nice break from the ship. On the days I got liberty, we took the ferry along the steep mountain cliffs to the small harbor. When we got to town, it became obvious that the currency here ("Turkish Lira") was nearly worthless - it was nearly 3 million Lira for one dollar! I changed some money and found that they thought one dollar was worth 1 million Lira - so it was an even better exchange with their currency... I had a great meal in a small restaurant overlooking the harbor. The owner saw us coming and had his sons line up for us as we came in the door. He spoke some English - but there were no menus. We told him we wanted a big meal and he clapped his hands, spoke some Turkish to his boys and they scattered. About 10 minutes later, they all returned with plates and trays of all kinds of local food. We tried many different dishes - I can't remember any of their names, though. Spent the night at the Sheraton Voyager Antalya - it is shaped like a layer cake...
