Side - Harbour Town

[colin hill]

We enjoyed our visits to Side (See-Day) and found the town to be so typical of the Turkish way of life and so laid back.

We, like all tourists, encountered the typical fashion of having to barter and all items in the shops do not have any

prices on them. You sure have to master the art of skillful bartering if you want to get a bargain. Many a time we were

told to get out the shop due to us not agreeing to their price. We soon got used to this and were careful not to make eye

contact or pick items up as this was an indication you were interested in buying.

The harbour is fairly small and boats of all description can be found anchored to the jetties. I walked the length and breadth

of the whole harbour area and found it to be so fascinating and was kept busy with my camera.

The town has a rich history and I have attached a picture depicting this history. (Hope it can be read).

Colin,

I really got the feeling I was there. You really captured the essence of the people and place.

I can only imagine how many photos you took.

Give yourself a pat on the back for excellence.

Best wish,

George

Ken and George,

Thank you for your kind comments. Gosh cannot believe how quiet the slideshow section of this forum is. Seem to have more guests visiting than members.

Ken: Did see plenty of those hubbly bubbly pipes, but stayed away from them.

A lot of the locals could have been "talibanners", and if there were any around, they must have been in hiding!!!!

George: I took over 2,000 slides on our trip, many specifically for using in my AV's. Glad you and Ken have enjoyed what I have posted so far.
