Kadriye Hotel

After the breakfast I stood here on the balcony, I thinking of what wonderful days we have had down here. Now it's just one day left. First we go for a lunch just outside Antalya. Then we have 5 hours of free time and we will take a walk in Antalya old town.


Kadriye Hotel

Our second last hotel in the golf area at Kadriye, a few kilometers east of Antalya.


Fish restaurant Antalya

Lunch with water view, actually, we had the Mediterranean Sea under our feet. The restaurant's specialty was fish dishes.

A little bit chilly today, other days had been much warmer. Just around the corner we have Antalya old city.
