Castle of St Peter, Bodrum

Enjoying a game of pirates in
Alanya. Its 9th-century fortress
right by the harbour saw plenty
of action over the centuries as
the town and its dockyard were
magnets for pirates. See the
ruins of the dockyard jutting out
of the sea. See p. 154.
Gazing in wonder at Turkey's
largest mosque, the Sabanci
Central Mosque in Adana, built
along the same lines as the great
Blue Mosque in Istanbul. It is
simply huge. See p. 154.
Visiting Belek so the boys can
have a golf lesson or a game, while
mum and the girls can go off
shopping around the town's col-
lection of designer fashion shops
or hot foot it down to a health spa
for some pampering. See p. 155.
Visiting Side's 'Sand Village'
where there is, literally, some-
thing for all the family, from
sailing trips and playgrounds to

discos, plus a spot of heritage
too. See p. 157.
Finding unusual crafts to take
home as a gift or souvenir in the
little streets of Kaleiçi, the old
quarter of Antalya. You'll find
wooden inlaid boxes, trinkets
and jewellery, all made in the
area, plus lots of pastry goodies.
See p. 172.
Snorkelling in the crystal-clear
waters of the Aegean and
Mediterranean seas off the south-
ern, southwestern and southeast-
ern coastlines. See p. 171.

The Black Sea Region
Horse-riding in the countryside
around Kastamonu on one of the
