Ancient Sites in Antalya | Antalya Attractions & Places To See

[turkeytrips]

Antalya welcomed 450 thousand tourists within two months

In Antalya, there is something for everyone to do. One of the best places to see if you want to satisfy your need for sightseeing is Aspendos. The city is also ideally located to act as your base for day tours around the historic tourist attractions scattered throughout the nearby hills. Yet, history is hardly mentioned to many visitors. In contrast, Antalya is known for its beachfront locations…

Profile: Deniz

ⓘ Deniz is gender-selectable, but this profile uses they/them pronouns for simplicity's sake.

Your next-door-neighbor and childhood best friend. You haven’t kept in close contact, but they’re the first person you think of seeing when you visit home. Deniz's family immigrated to the United States from Turkey when they were twelve because the volatile political environment made the country no longer safe for their family, especially for their mother as a feminist scholar. You are their first friend in Seattle, and they are your first friend who is not in the magic community.

Family name: Yılmaz

Birth month: February

Birth place: Istanbul, Turkey

Education: master's

Occupation: private investigator

Favorite place: Antalya

Favorite drink: their mom's tea

Favorite color: red

Most prized possession: laptop

Handwriting: no conscious thought goes into it except is it legible enough...?

Always in bag: wouldn't you like to know

Family: close with their family, who usually call them Deni; their extended family is still in Turkey, and they visit annually during winter break

Friends: close enough to you that they let you call them Denzi, but they don't really do best friends...or friends, really... they even hate it when you call them your childhood friend (despite its factualness)

Appearance: dark brown eyes, slightly wavy dark brown-black hair that’s always a little crazy, keeps eyebrows perfect (and it takes a bit of work, don't judge), light brown skin with a cool undertone, about 180cm/5'10" (but tends to slouch a little), lithe, usually dresses in a grunge style, wears glasses and earrings

Romance: solo-route or poly-route with Gazi, childhood friends (or was it more?) to lovers, (possible second chance romance...), somewhere between slow and fast burn

You've always appreciated Deniz's quiet strength and resourcefulness. While others find them difficult to befriend or even engage, you know that under their calm and composed façade is a fiercely protective nature that has saved you from trouble more than once. Those who know them call them the jester because they always have something to say that'll bring the laughs, but they're also valued for their loyal support and street-smart instincts. Their card in the Major Arcana is the Magician.

Antalya, Türkiye - Posted to X by Travolax Travel & Destinations @travolax

We visited Antalya over 30 years ago and it was a lovely place. I've read that since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many Russians have moved here to evade the draft.

[goldenpinof]

To the anon asking about Turkey: my friends (both women) moved to Antalya in 2022 (guess why) and rented an apartment there. I went to visit them there and we went to different places and it was totally fine. Just mind the basic rules of the safety like you would do everywhere.

Antalya is a big city, so yeah.

anon, if you're going to a hotel near a smaller city, check reviews, and i think it's gonna be fine!

[dragonflight203]

Mass Effect 1 replay, wrapping up Artemis Tau and Hawking Eta:

Sparta:

-Antalya once had an atmosphere and liquid. Now the atmosphere is stripped and the liquid is frozen. No one's sure why. Could it have been the Reapers?

-There's a bio-dome in an asteroid with a Prothean disc. Were they possibly hiding from the Reapers?

-Why can't the distress beacon be disabled? Yes, I killed the Thresher Maw, but that's optional. Maybe we should turn it off so no one else gets lured into Thresher Maw territory?

-What's up with that burning Mako? If it's from the team that got killed, why is it on fire? It's no where near the Thresher Maw

-Why do I need to travel to the Citadel to inform Kahoku? He's been on the phone this whole time. Can't I call him?

-Cerberus is Alliance black ops in ME1, only recently went rogue, and is cartoonishly evil. ME2 retcons a hell of a lot.

Macedon

-Patavig is suitable for Volus colonization. So the Alliance is negotiating it with their patrons, the Hierarchy.

I was not expecting that. You'd think the Volus, the setting's merchant race, could handle their own negotiations about planet rights.

If they can't - no wonder they don't have a Council seat. If they can't even handle negotiations for their own species, how can they make decisions for others?

-Shepard to Dahlia: You should have trusted me.

Dahlia to Shepard: We have trust issues in my family.

That got a cackle. I wish Dahlia had come back, I quite like her.

Athens

-What were the original plans for this system? It's the only that has no planet to land on or ship to explore. Surely something must have been intended for it. What was that, and why was it left in as it is?

Century:

-According to Hackett, Kyle convinced his followers that the Alliance is the source of all their problems.

I don't think he's entirely wrong. Kaidan suspects that several element zero exposures were intentional. The early amp implants cause all kinds of problems. Brain camp killed several kids and traumatized the hell out of the rest.

The only place that will reliably welcome biotics is the military. That's not the Alliance's fault, but are they making any steps to improve the perception of biotics to the rest of humanity?

-Hackett wants Kyle brought back for treatment. How accurate is that? He's responsible for the death of two Alliance negotiators.

The wiki doesn't specify what happens if Kyle is persuaded to surrender. Is he actually treated for PTSD, or thrown in a cell?

-Klendagon's Great Rift is from a Mass Accelerator 37 million years ago.

I think the general assumption is that this from whatever killed the Derelict Reaper. Is that confirmed anywhere?

-Gotta love Shepard. (Fine, me, but it's not like the game gave me renegade points.) Finds prefab buildings and loots them before finding out the status of the inhabitants. Hope they didn't need those supplies!

-I think the game in general doesn't do enough to convey how charismatic Shepard must be. The blue paragon options just don't seem special enough, for example, to talk Kyle around when the negotiators weren't able to.

Squad Talks

-I think something is bugged. Garrus, Wrex, and Tali all talk as if we're near the end game. I've done one main mission!

-Garrus: Will we ever find Saren?

Good question, since I haven't actually been trying to do that. Sorry Garrus, there are a lot more UNC worlds to visit.

-Garrus seems to take Saren's actions very personally. He wants Saren dead. Is this really just because Saren's a rogue spectre? It feels like they have a history, but the games never indicate such.

-Why is Garrus's dialogue handled so differently than the others? Wrex and Tali have investigate options you can always check. They update through the game. With Garrus, it's always a new conversation or just "Shepard".

-Wrex is so burned out at this point. He's given up on everything. Despite what he says, he clearly doesn't like killing Krogan mercenaries when they're numbers are so low. But he's so depressed he'll do it anyway.

-Tali: "Near the end with Saren"??? Tali, we haven't even seen him yet. All we've done is find Liara, and that was a dead end.

Citadel:

-Using Conrad's wife to talk him out of becoming a spectre is amusing, given that in ME3 his wife isn't real. No wonder he's so confused when you bring her up.

-There aren't any human merchants on the Citadel except Dr. Michel. Intentional, to show how new humanity is?

-The armor humans and Asari can wear is called human armor. Is that just a human convention?

The Asari have been around much longer than humanity. Does everyone else call it Asari armor, and think it's weird that it just happens to fit humans too?

Or is Shepard just too cheap to buy Liara proper armor? :) You have Barrier, Liara! My old armor is close enough, put it on and throw barrier up. You'll be fine.

-The inventory micromanaging in ME1 is exhausting. I dislike how ME2 eliminates nearly all of it, but ME1 had so much room for improvement. There were so many small tweaks they could have made to improve the experience.
