Antalya's
major park with the all-but-unpronouncable
name is just east of Kaleiçi in
the city center, easily reached on
foot
or by tram.
This is where Antalyalilar come in
the heat of the day for shade and a
breeze, or for a stroll in the cool
of evening.
The mayor's office is
here, and a
city theater, but
of more interest to visitors is the ancient
fortress tower overlooking
the Roman harbor, the falez (cliffs)
and the broad blue expanse of the Gulf
of Antalya.
Admission to the park is free,
it's always open, and always inviting.
The park's name,
by the way, means "Son of Black Ali,"
and is pronounced
kah-RAH-ah-LEE-oh-loo.
That's not so difficult, is it?
