The first time I was here in Alanya, it was for a music video, and I fell in love with the place. I have returned because the whole place, the atmosphere, is so lively and welcoming to people from other countries; if there is a sense of belonging in this world, it begins in Alanya. Compared to Istanbul, where everything seems to be happening at a rapid pace and not everyone speaks English, it seems that in Alanya, the whole world has gathered in one place and is connected by a common language. Such a multi-ethnic mix gives this place its unique flavor and makes you feel right at home.
Alanya is a resort city in the Mediterranean Sea on the Anatolian Peninsula famous for its impressive fortress, long sandy beaches, and a large community of foreign residents. Alanya combines the local color of Turkey with cosmopolitanism and is considered one of the favorite destinations for expatriates who want to enjoy both local culture and international business.
I captured this photo of the beautiful bay using a special HDR method to blend the brilliance of the Mediterranean Sea with the beauty of the ancient rock formations. As usual, I added the original photo taken without any enhancements:
Tell me in the comments if you prefer to live in a city with a local culture or somewhere in a multi-ethnic metropolis!
Love U all ❤️
