Welcome<br />
æ<br />
Hello everyone!<br />
Welcome to the new issue of our online magazine!<br />
Ozan Demir<br />
Editor<br />
<strong>2Base</strong> Estate Agency<br />
We had a quieter and<br />
slower period at <strong>2Base</strong><br />
compared to the previous<br />
year.<br />
This slow period was not<br />
only for us but also for<br />
all other companies.<br />
However, of course, our<br />
customers continued to<br />
work with us during this<br />
slow period and<br />
they kept visiting us for<br />
coffee.<br />
In 2023, due to the war<br />
situations and other reasons<br />
that existed in the<br />
world, people<br />
hesitated about real estate<br />
purchases. For this<br />
reason, foreign citizens<br />
in Turkey<br />
house sales decreased<br />
compared to the previous<br />
year. In this period,<br />
Antalya had the highest<br />
number of sales after<br />
Istanbul.<br />
House sales also declined<br />
in Turkey. The<br />
main reason for this is<br />
the new interest rate<br />
hike by the Central Bank<br />
of Turkey,<br />
policies and difficulties<br />
in the use of credit. And<br />
on February 6, in the<br />
eastern part of Turkey,<br />
unfortunately<br />
There was a 7.6 magnitude<br />
earthquake. It was a<br />
very difficult time for the<br />
people of that region and<br />
everyone mobilized.<br />
Not only in Turkey, people<br />
from all over the world<br />
sent their material and<br />
moral aid. Turkish people<br />
have been very grateful<br />
and has not forgotten anyone<br />
who sent their support<br />
in a difficult time. The<br />
search and rescue team<br />
from Mexico<br />
Proteo is just one of them.<br />
Turkey also had a very<br />
important election, shortly<br />
after the terrible earthquake.<br />
The first election was almost<br />
a draw and a second<br />
election was held.<br />
At the end of this election,<br />
the current president was<br />
re-elected.<br />
In short, 2023 was a challenging<br />
and busy year for<br />
the Turkish people.<br />
However, a new colleague<br />
joined our office, Mr. Adnan.<br />
He will now take care of<br />
our German customers in<br />
our company.<br />
We hope that <strong>2024</strong> will<br />
be the best year for<br />
everyone, and we wish<br />
you a happy new year!<br />

you guessed, of course, Mexican cuisine.<br />
The newly opened Buritto Shop Restaurant in Alanya gives you a great<br />
experience with Mexican food and drinks.<br />
Don’t worry about those who think ’I can’t eat spicy food’. All the<br />
dishes are not that spicy and you can choose the degree of spicyness<br />
yourself.

Happy independence day. Congratulations to<br />
Finland.<br />
Alanyas New Year market will open its doors<br />
for two days from the 9th of December, with<br />
music, entertainment, food, drinks and promotional<br />
stands that will reflect the traditions<br />
of foreign citizens living in Alanya as well as<br />
local traditions.<br />
Also different kinds of events and concerts<br />
will also be held at the international New<br />
Year market.<br />
We recommend all local and foreign citizens<br />
to visit the New Year market where they can<br />
enjoy themselves.<br />
Especially hot dog and mulled wine will be<br />
worth trying.<br />
As always you will find the market behind<br />
Alanya Municipality and it is free of charge to<br />
enter.<br />
We hope you have a pleasant time.<br />
Even in Alanya winter is soon coming...<br />
Did you know that there is a wonderful drink that is popular all over Turkey during the winter<br />
months?<br />
The name of this drink is Boza and it is made from millet, water and sugar<br />
Boza can easily be confused with another popular winter drink, salep<br />
But boza and salep are very different drinks, with the biggest difference being that salep is<br />
made on milk which boza is not.<br />
One of the places that makesthe best boza in Alanya is undoubtedly Hancı Pastahanesi.<br />
Boza can also be found in the super markets for you to heat and and drink it at home while<br />
sitting under a warm blanket reading your favorite book.<br />
Bon appetit....

Kodal Cafe has just opened a new branch in<br />
Oba. Here you can spend a good time enjoying<br />
magnificent desserts, Belgian chocolates,<br />
breakfast and much more.<br />
The most popular dessert is the San Sebastian<br />
cake.<br />
We obviously went there and tested it for<br />
you. It has a wonderful flavor that is different<br />
from other desserts.<br />
Belgian chocolate is poured over the dessert<br />
and the cake with a unique taste on<br />
consistency.<br />
Kodal Cafe is actually a chocolate shop so<br />
once you are done eating San Sebastian<br />
cake you can get a variety of different chocolates<br />
with your coffee <br />
Our favorite chocolate was Rocher chocolate<br />
which comes in variants with almond, pistachio<br />
and hazelnut.<br />
Kodal Cafe has now two branches in Alanya<br />
and you can find directions below.<br />

29 ekim cumhuriyet bayramı<br />
October 29 is the date of the founding of the<br />
Turkish Republic (29 ekim cumhuriyet bayramı).<br />
This year, October 29th is especially important<br />
because it marks the 100th anniversary of the<br />
founding of the Turkish Republic. There is a<br />
festive atmosphere all over the country.<br />
Happy 29 October Republic Day, which is the<br />
100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey!<br />
We commemorate the founder of the Republic<br />
of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and all his<br />
comrades-in-arms with mercy.<br />
Today we will talk about a nice picnic place<br />
that is not known to many people.<br />
So if you prefer a place with just a few people,<br />
this might be the one for you.<br />
The place is Konakli View Terrace.<br />
Konakli View Terrace is a wonderful picnic area<br />
where you can enter free of charge. It is located<br />
on a beautiful hill from where you have an<br />
amazing view over the sea.<br />
The most important thing you should pay attention<br />
to when coming here is that there is no<br />
market inside the picnic area. So you need to<br />
bring everything for your picnic yourself.<br />
There are several fountains in the area and also<br />
toilets and a playground.<br />

Although Alanya is located on the coast, it is<br />
a place without much fish culture. Therefore,<br />
there are very few restaurants where you can<br />
eat good fish.<br />
But there is a new alternative.<br />
Hamsi Finger...<br />
Hamsi Finger is a big fish restaurant brand<br />
that has branches in many regions in Turkey<br />
and also has 55 branches in Germany, Romania<br />
and America.<br />

<strong>2Base</strong> family Adnan Sedef will compete. Of<br />
course, all our support will be with him.<br />

They service anchovies, sardines, haddock,<br />
sea bream, sea bass, calamari, shrimp, mackerel<br />

is the largest fish bread chain restaurant<br />

So if you are looking for a nice restaurant<br />
that can offers you a delicious experience<br />
with many fish varieties served in portions or<br />

Turkish Real Estate Vocabulary<br />
Notary (Noter)<br />
The public notary is the institution that gives legal validity to documents and transactions.<br />
For <strong>2Base</strong> the notary is an essential institution in our daily business. Often our customers<br />
cannot be personal present in Alanya when selling or buying property.<br />
We then act on their behalf via a power of attorney issued and formalized by the Turkish<br />
public notary.<br />
This makes life a lot easier for our customers and they can concentrate on enjoying their<br />
time in Alanya instead of wasting it waiting in line at various government institutions.<br />
Please note that power of attornies can be issued both in your home country or in Turkey,<br />
but it has to be done in a certain, correct way.<br />
Feel free to contact us in case you have questions related to the notary system or power of<br />
attorneys.<br />

What is the Electricity Usage Fee in Turkey?<br />
How is Electricity Bill Calculated?<br />
Starting from September 2023 in Turkey, electricity<br />
consumption in 1 kWh is priced at an<br />
average of 2.6 TL, including taxes.<br />
The electricity bill cost can be found by multiplying<br />
the consumption with the unit price. (EX:<br />
967 kWh x 2.6 = 2.514 TL) It may seem complicated,<br />
but it’s actually just a simple multiplication<br />
operation.<br />
In How Many Days Should We Pay The Electricity<br />
Bill?<br />
If the payment is not made within 5 working<br />
days after the last payment date, the electricity<br />
will be cut off.<br />
Where is the electricity bill paid?<br />
For you, we have researched the average consumption<br />
cost of some electronic items that<br />
you use the most on a daily basis.<br />
1 Air conditioner usage for 12 hours a week<br />
average 362 kWH<br />
TV usage average of 8 hours in a week is 21 kWh<br />
Refrigerator usage for a week is 29 kWh on<br />
average.<br />
1 hour of kettle use in a week is 61 kWh on average<br />
You can pay your electricity bills through<br />
mobile banking applications, PTT branches or<br />
contracted bill payment points.<br />
As <strong>2Base</strong>, we have a special system that we<br />
use for our customers, thanks to this system,<br />
you do not have to follow up your invoice<br />
every month. We keep track of your invoices<br />
and make payments when necessary.<br />
This system is not just for electricity. We also<br />
follow up and pay for water, internet, tax and<br />
insurance payments for our customers.

Residence permit (ikamet)<br />
Foreigners who wish to stay in Turkey for more than 90 days or for a period longer than allowed<br />
by their visa, must obtain a residence permit in Turkey.<br />
The application is started via the electronic “e-residence system” after which all applicants<br />
must attend a physical meeting at the local immigration office.<br />
The rules and requirements for obtaining a resident permit change on a frequent basis and<br />
the changes are not communicated to the public in a clear and efficient way.<br />
It can therefor be very difficult for common people to understand exactly what is needed<br />
and under which requirements they can apply.

A Spark is Enough to Start a Fire! Hello everyone,<br />
Today we will talk about a sensitive issue,<br />
forest fires.<br />
With the increase in temperatures in the<br />
summer months the forest areas are very dry<br />
and often forest fires occur.<br />
Since Alanya is one of the regions with the<br />
highest temperature in Turkey, we experience<br />
forest fires in the region every year.<br />
Forest fires can be caused by many natural<br />
causes such as high temperature, lightning<br />
strikes and so on.<br />
However, the most common causes of forest<br />
fires today are uncontrolled burning, smoking<br />
and agricultural work.<br />
In other words, forest fires that are started by<br />
humans.<br />
This sunday the professional bike race Tour of<br />
Turkey will kick off in Alanya with stage 1.<br />

Izmir all the way to Istanbul.<br />
This year four world tour teams, seven pro teams,<br />
12 continental teams and the Dutch national team<br />
are on the start list and among the many world<br />
class riders also the Britsh sprinter Mark “the<br />
Manx misile” Cavendish is expected to take the<br />
start.<br />
The team presentation will take place Sunday<br />
morning between 10.40 and 11.25 o’clock at the<br />
Red Tower and stage 1 will kicks off at 11.40 from<br />
the same area.<br />
For those who cannot watch the competition live,<br />
the competition can be followed on<br />
Eurosport and TRT Spor channels.<br />
Have a pleasant weekend!<br />

Sub Board<br />
Ringo-Rocket-Ballerina<br />
Sub board, one of our favourite water<br />
sports, lasts 1 hour or 1 hour 30<br />
minutes and gives a great pleasure<br />

What are the earthquake risk zones in Turkey?<br />
Turkey lies on a small tectonic plate that is called the Anatolian plate, and the country is located<br />
in an area with relatively high seismic activity.<br />
The reason for this is that the country is squeezed between three large tectonic plates: The<br />
north-going African and Arabian plate to the south, and the south-going Eurasian plate to the<br />
north. The movement of these three plates causes the Anatolian plate to be pushed westward<br />
into the Aegean Sea.<br />
Since Turkey is a large country, the risk from region to region is different. According to the determination<br />
of the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD), regions in Turkey<br />
are divided into 5 zones according to earthquake risk.<br />
If a region is placed in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd zone precautions must be taken.<br />
Alanya is located in the 4th zone and is therefor considered a safe zone. This means that in<br />
Alanya earthquakes are felt, but will not have any destructive effect.<br />
Building Process in Turkey<br />
To make earthquake-proof buildings, the builder has to be aware of the building’s natural vibrations.<br />
Earthquakes create strong lateral movements, so to minimize the amount of damage, buildings<br />
are constructed using rigid horizontal floors and vertical columns which will absorb the<br />
lateral load and lead it to the ground.
Despite Alanya’s location in an area with relatively low seismic activity, it is still mandatory to<br />
acquire DASK insurance, which also covers any damage caused by earthquakes.<br />
In Turkey there are clear rules for how to obtain building permissions and then carry out the<br />
construction based on the permission that is given.<br />
During the building process, controls of the quality of the raw construction and compliance<br />
with the building permission are done by verified and independent controllers.<br />
Only after these controls have been passed will the constructor be able to obtain the final permissions<br />
and documentation of completion.<br />
Where can I learn if the building is earthquake resistant?<br />
Earthquake resistance tests are carried out by independent and licensed research companies<br />
or municipal teams and are used for old buildings in high risk zones.<br />
In regions where there is no high earthquake risk, earthquake resistance tests can be made by<br />
independent companies for a fee.<br />
In general, there is no need to test newer buildings in any of the 5 zones since they have been<br />
tested and approved during the construction period.

Today we will tell you about a little-known<br />
magnificent waterfall in Alanya.<br />
The name is Uçanca waterfall and it is located<br />
in Toslak village in Konaklı region of<br />
Alanya.<br />
The drive to the waterfall is beautiful and<br />
mostly asphalt road.<br />
You should definitely use navigation while<br />
going to Uçanca Waterfall. But the waterfall<br />
is not showing correctly in Google Maps.<br />
So we will leave the correct location in a link<br />
below.<br />
Uçanca waterfall is a magnificent place during<br />
periods of heavy rain. Those who see the<br />
foam flying and the water coming through<br />
the mountains are fascinated.<br />
During the summer months the waterfall can<br />
dry out due to the heat.<br />
If you are going to go here, we recommend<br />
that you go during the rainy season.<br />
Uçanca Waterfall, one of the hidden and<br />
natural areas in Alanya, is just one of the rare<br />
places worth seeing in Alanya.<br />
We wish you a pleasant trip.<br />
Uçanca Waterfall Location:<br />
There are many magnificent restaurants in<br />
Alanya, one of which is Gardenia Restaurant in<br />
Kale.<br />
It is a wonderful place to eat pizza and have a<br />
glass of wine while watching the sunset with<br />
the magnificent Alanya view.<br />
The most enjoyable time of the Gardenia<br />
Restaurant is between 18:00 and 22:00 in the<br />
evening, at these times it is not possible to find<br />
a place without making a reservation.<br />
We got a little information for you, the best<br />
tables of the restaurant are the tables between<br />
the numbers 500 to 600.<br />
In Gardenia Restaurant, where there are many<br />
good food and beverage options, my favorite<br />
is definitely pizza margarita and as a drink, a<br />
refreshing cocktail called Estrella with Gin in it.<br />
Apart from that, it is worth trying their wines,<br />
non-alcoholic or alcoholic mojitos, tenderloin<br />
and ribeye.<br />
Gardenia Restaurant serves its customers<br />
between 10:00 in the morning and 01:00 in the<br />
evening.<br />
You can go to Gardenia Restaurant by cable<br />
car or by your own car. When you follow the<br />
path after getting off the cable car, it brings you<br />
to the Gardenia Restaurant.<br />
However, the thing you should pay attention to<br />
is that the cable car does not work after 11:00<br />
in the evening and you need to use a taxi to<br />
return after this time, or Gardenia Restaurant<br />
provides a paid shuttle service after 01:00.<br />
Don’t forget to take your cameras with you because<br />
it will be very useful. Enjoy..
During summer the heat in Alanya can be<br />
overwhelming and during this time the locals<br />
of Alanya go to plateus of the mountains to<br />
find cooler temperatures.<br />
Gökbel Plateau is one of the best known and<br />
offers a wonderful opportunity to take in the<br />
fresh air and enjoy nature.<br />
Another reason to go to Gökbel is the annual<br />
oil wrestling competition which this year will<br />
take place on the 12th to 13th of August.<br />
More than 1000 wrestlers will participate.<br />
Turkish oil wrestling is a sport that can only be<br />
seen live on a few occasions, so if you have<br />
the chance you should definately go to Gökbel.<br />
Besides oil wrestling there will be music and<br />
plenty of food and drinks.<br />
For detailed programme and times check<br />
social media and local newspapers.<br />
Ice cream is the most enjoyable thing in hot<br />
summer months!<br />
And as you know, Turkey is a country famous<br />
for its ice cream shops.<br />
In many social media videos, you may have<br />
seen Turkish ice cream makers showing off<br />
with ice cream and making people angry and<br />
entertaining at the same time.<br />
Murat Ice Cream, which has many types of ice<br />
cream, is my favourite ice cream with lemon<br />
and melon, but carob and almond ice cream<br />
is among the varieties that I am curious to<br />
taste.<br />
You should definitely taste these amazing<br />
handmade ice cream varieties.<br />
We leave a location for you below. You can<br />
write us the varieties you try in the comments.<br />
Enjoy your icecream<br />
Murat Ice Cream<br />
As you know, Alanya is growing day by day like<br />
everywhere else. Many new stores and shopping<br />
malls continue to open.<br />
Recently, a large technology market, Media<br />
Markt, has been added to these.<br />
It became the 3rd electronics store after Teknosa,<br />
which is located in the giant electronics market<br />
Alanyum, and Vatan Computer, which is on the<br />
ring road.<br />
If you need a new phone, a new computer or a<br />
new vacuum cleaner, we recommend you to visit<br />
Media Markt where you can find everything related<br />
to electronics.<br />
It is enjoyable to visit such electronic stores even<br />

Turkish cuisine Katmer<br />
Among the thousands of desserts in Turkish cuisine, one of the best is definitely<br />
Katmer.<br />
You can see that katmer is made with different varieties in many regions in<br />
Turkey. Katmer made using pistachios is the best.<br />
Katmer is a wonderful dessert that is worth breaking your diet for on hot<br />
summer days.<br />
If you want to eat katmer in Alanya, you can try it at Çelebizade, located<br />
opposite of Alanya State Hospital, or at another Çelebizade branch on Şevket<br />
Tokuş street.<br />
Apart from these you can eat katmer at Ehl-i Künefe, which is located<br />
around the Başkent hospital.<br />
Katmer is a simple dessert that you can also make at home with a thin<br />
dough, oil and plenty of pistachios.

Turkish Real Estate Vocabulary<br />
Land share (Arsa payı)<br />
So when an apartment building of 40 units is constructed, these apartments are all located<br />
on the same plot and the ownership of the plot is determined via land share.<br />
The main factor to be considered in the land share is the value of each unit.<br />
As an example, if all 40 apartments are equal in size they will receive an equal share of the<br />
plot.<br />
But in case the building consists of 4 commercial units, 4 penthouse units and 32 apartment<br />
units, the land share will not be equally divided since commercial units and penthouse units<br />
are more valuable than a regular apartment.<br />
Land share is also used for villa complexes where several villas are constructed on a single<br />
plot.<br />
The share of the plot that belongs to you can be seen on your title deed.<br />
Please note that all land owned via land share is regarded as common area, and the plot is<br />
not divided into small, designated pieces for each owner.

Annex (müştemilat)<br />
An annex is a smaller section added to the outside of a building, house or apartment that<br />
can be used as a garage, basement, storage area, workshop or similar.<br />
It is usually an area not suitable as a living area and does not count as such from a legal<br />
perspective.<br />
The addition of an annex to your house or apartment will be registered on your title deed<br />
where you can see the word “müştemilat”.<br />
The right to use an annex registered on a property belongs only to the property owner.

”Delik Deniz Kral Koyu”<br />
Todays recommendation goes to the ”Delik Deniz Kral Koyu” in Gazipaşa,<br />
or ”Kings cove of the sea with a hole”.<br />
In short it is a hidden bay/ cove located below an ancient city surrounded<br />
by step cliffs and banana fields.<br />
It is hard to find and even more difficult to reach, but once you’re<br />
there it will amaze you with unique beauty and location.<br />
You can take amazing photos, swim in the clean sea, visit an ancient<br />
city and enjoy the beautiful scenery in Delik Deniz Kral Koyu.<br />
From the car park to the actual bay the path is quite unsteady, so be<br />
careful.

Turkish cuisine is known worldwide for its<br />
rich history and delicious tastes.<br />
One of the most loved and popular desserts<br />
is “muhallebi” which is kind of a milk<br />
pudding.<br />
In the old days, young people even used<br />
this pudding to show their emotions towards<br />
each other.<br />
Inviting a girl for a “muhallebi” meant you<br />
liked her and therefore this dessert has a<br />
nostalgic memory among Turks.<br />
Muhallebi is usually made with basic ingredients<br />
such as milk, sugar, starch or rice,<br />
flour and vanilla.<br />

Vehicle inspection in Turkey<br />
As we all know there are a lot of cars on the roads in Alanya. Some new,<br />
some old and some very old ones can be seen.<br />
But for all of them the rules are the same and an inspection is<br />
required every two year.<br />
TuvTürk is the only authorized and responsible institution for vehicle<br />
inspection in Turkey.<br />
An online system is used to get your appointment and the check-up<br />
takes around two hours.<br />
The branch of TuvTürk in our area is located in Konakli. After the<br />
inspection vehicles are divided into different categories.<br />
PERFECT: It is the result that means there is no issue related to the<br />
vehicle.<br />
LIGHTLY DEFECTIVE: It means that the vehicle is safe and can be used,<br />
but some minor defects must be fixed.<br />
HEAVY DEFECT: The vehicle has defects that prevent it from being safe.<br />
The owner must fix the defects and pass another inspection before the<br />
vehicle can be used.

Identity card (Kimlik kartı)<br />
In Turkey everyone has a so-called “kimlik”, which is an ID card that contains an unique ID<br />
number for each individual.<br />
The kimlik card can be used for identifying yourself at places such as the bank, land registry<br />
office, the notaries office and so on.<br />
According to Turkish law a person must have his ID card on him at all times, when in a public<br />
place.<br />
The unique ID number consists 11 digits and will follow you your entire life.<br />
Also foreigners can get a Turkish ID number and an ID card. This requires that you apply for<br />
and obtain a resident permit.<br />
For foreigners the ID number will always start with “99”.<br />
Recent new versions of the ID card also contains a chip and biometric data. This increases<br />
the security of the system and allows both private and government institutions and organizations<br />
to use the ID card to perform secure identity verification.<br />

to sunset.<br />
Wanna go for a ride?<br />
When it comes to Alanya everyone usually<br />
think of sea & sun.<br />
But there is a lot more to Alanya than just the<br />
beaches.<br />
An alternative activity could be horseback<br />
riding, a very enjoyable and healthy activity.<br />
Horseback riding is an activity that people of<br />
all ages can do.<br />
It is a good choice to make your children love<br />
animals and experience nature at the same<br />
time.<br />
Horse Club horse farm in Demirtaş offers<br />
you a wonderful experience in this regard.<br />
They have a great 3-hour tour, which passes<br />
through local villages, forest areas and the<br />
ancient Syedra fortress.<br />
Some of the other horse farms in Alanya are<br />
the Carpe Diem horse farm located in the village<br />
of Oba, Çelikkıran horse farm in Çubuk,<br />
and the Alara horse farm in Okurcalar.<br />
If you decide to go to a horse farm, be sure to<br />
send us a photo of you and your new horsefriend.<br />
We hope you have a pleasant ride.<br />
At many mosques you will see that free food<br />
is distributed every evening and people gather<br />
to eat right after sunset.<br />
When the month of ramadan ends there is a<br />
big celebration called Eid al-Fitr or the Sugar<br />
feast.<br />
This takes place between April 21st and April<br />
23rd with the tradition to hand out sweets and<br />
pocket money to all children.<br />
The children will knock on their neighbors’<br />
doors, and the neighbors will then give sweets<br />
or pocket money to the children.<br />
During the month of Ramadan and Eid-al-Fitr,<br />
many cultural events are usually organised by<br />
the municipalities all over Turkey.<br />
Everyone are welcome to these events, no<br />
matter what religion you belong to.<br />
We wish you all a happy Ramadan and<br />
Eid al-Fitr.

April 23 National Sovereignty and Children’s<br />
Day is a day bestowed by Mustafa Kemal<br />
Atatürk for his children all over the world.<br />
It was celebrated with children from 45 different<br />
nationalities who came to Alanya on April<br />
23 last year.<br />
Within the scope of 23. of April this year,<br />
children from many different nationalities will<br />
represent their countries by participating in<br />
colorful events in Alanya, as in every region<br />
of Turkey.<br />
April 23,<br />
where many activities are organized for<br />
children, is celebrated like a feast with children<br />
in costumes and the paint on their<br />
faces which causes very colorful images. You<br />
should definitely participate in these beautiful<br />
activities that adults and children will enjoy.<br />
Today we will tell you about another Turkish<br />
dessert, Kabak Tatlısı. As you know, there are<br />
thousands of sweets and dishes in Turkish<br />
cuisine. Kabak Tatlısı draws attention as one<br />
of the most popular desserts in Turkey.<br />
Kabak Tatlısı is a simple and delicious dessert,<br />
made in which quinces are cut in half and<br />
cooked in sugar water, after cooking, they are<br />
arranged on a tray, cream is put in the middle<br />
and then cooked in the oven until they turn<br />
brown.<br />
Kabak Tatlısı is a dessert with syrup. Since it is<br />
generally a simple dessert, we could not find<br />
any information about a business that makes<br />
this dessert in Alanya. But you can do it yourself<br />
very easily.<br />
We definitely recommend you to try this delicious<br />
dessert. Instead of cream, you can use<br />
ice cream, which is our recommendation.<br />
One of the most interesting events held<br />
on April 23 is the change of seats. Many<br />
high-ranking statesmen transfer their seats to<br />
children for that day and fulfill their humble<br />
wishes.<br />
Happy April 23 National Sovereignty and Children’s<br />
Day everyone.<br />

There are many places that sell musical<br />
instruments in Alanya. The most striking and<br />
most comprehensive of these is Bamteli Music,<br />
located in the center of Alanya.<br />
Apart from selling instruments, they also do<br />
instrument repair, maintenance and courses.<br />
Bamteli Music, which has been in this business<br />
for more than 30 years, is one of the<br />
best in Alanya.<br />
Bamteli Music, which is the most diverse musical<br />
instrument shop in terms of instruments,<br />
can supply instruments that are not available<br />
within 2 days.<br />
They install difficult-to-install instruments<br />
such as piano and drums, and at Bamteli<br />
Music you have the chance to go and try any<br />
instrument you want.<br />
Bamteli Music provides courses for foreign<br />
citizens. Violin and Piano courses in Russian.<br />
You can attend <strong>English</strong> Drum, Guitar, Violin<br />
and Piano courses. As a drummer I can’t wait<br />
to take the drums course here.<br />
We leave the location of this place for you<br />
below. Don’t forget to say hi from <strong>2Base</strong><br />
when you go to Mr. Mücahit, the sincere and<br />
friendly owner.<br />
Alanya Archeology Museum, which has been<br />
renewed with the efforts of Alanya municipality,<br />
has opened its doors to its visitors again.<br />
We have gathered information for you about<br />
the museum, which arouses curiosity with its<br />
new historical artifacts and new layout. After<br />
the renovation the Peacocks are still in their<br />
old place so don’t worry about that. <br />
The entrance fee of Alanya Archeology Museum<br />
has not changed. The entrance fee to the<br />
museum for the last 3 years is 20 TL per person.<br />
It should be noted that debit and credit<br />
cards are not valid at museum entrances. You<br />
can only enter with cash.<br />
Most of the artifacts in the museum belong to<br />
the Roman period. Although its name is known<br />
as Alanya Archeology Museum, you can also<br />
find the Ship and Maritime Hall inside the museum.<br />
Here there are very interesting ship and<br />
shipyard artifacts.<br />
The most interesting and recommended place<br />
for us was the Heracles room. There is also<br />
a magnificent room in which there is a magnificent<br />
statue of Heracles, with images and<br />
writings about the life of Heracles.<br />
Alanya Archeology Museum is a place that<br />
everyone who comes to Alanya will enjoy visiting<br />
at least once. We hope you have a good<br />
time<br />

Today we will tell you about Semolina Halva,<br />
one of the Turkish desserts.<br />
As you know, there are many dishes and desserts<br />
from Turkish cuisine. Semolina Halva is<br />
one of them.<br />
A nutritional point obtained by grinding and<br />
sifting semolina wheat. Semolina halva is a<br />
dessert made by roasting semolina, milk,<br />
flour and oil.<br />
Semolina halva is a light dessert that you can<br />
choose to eat both hot and cold. In some<br />
places, it can be served with ice cream.<br />
Semolina Halva is traditionally served as a<br />
dessert served by the relatives of the deceased<br />
when someone dies in Turkish traditions.<br />
However, it is one of the Turks favorite<br />
desserts in daily life.<br />
If you haven’t tried it before, we definitely<br />
recommend you to try Semolina Halva.<br />
There are 2 places in Alanya where you can<br />
buy Semolina Halva. One of them is Helvacı<br />
Yakub and the other is Hacı Şerif Alanya. We<br />
leave the location information for these two<br />
workplaces below for you. Bon appetit<br />
Helvacı Yakub:<br />
Today we’re going to tell you about Atom<br />
Station, what makes it interesting is that they<br />
make juices like milkshakes and create great<br />
flavors.<br />
Atom station has 30 kinds of fruit juice cocktails.<br />
Each of these is a real source of energy<br />
and each has a different impressive flavor.<br />
Our favorite juice cocktail is the fruit juice<br />
called ‘Bomb’. This drink, which contains banana,<br />
chocolate, strawberry, honey and hazelnut,<br />
is a natural energy source and tastes very<br />
delicious.<br />
When Atom Station first started, it only had 1<br />
branch in the Damlataş region. Now they have<br />
expanded business. They gave a franchise<br />
to Atom Master located in Konyaaltı, Avsallar<br />
and Mahmutlar. Our favorite is of course the<br />
oldest Atom Station in Damlataş.<br />
You can write in the comments about the<br />
kinds of fruit juices you have tried. For those<br />
who have not tried these fruit juices before,<br />
we leave the location link below.<br />

Turkish Barbers<br />
After shaving in Turkey, barbers clean the hair around the ear with a<br />
lighter or with the help of a stick that is burned with alcohol wrapped in<br />
cotton wool. If you have shaved at the barbers here before, this may<br />
have come as a surprise to you and you may have wondered why.<br />
It’s a tradition for the barbers here. They show that they are interested<br />
in all the care of the customer and clean the hair around the ears to<br />
make them permanent customers.<br />
Many barbers also do shoulder massage after shaving. It is done in order<br />
to give the best service to the customer and to turn the customer<br />
into a permanent customer.<br />
If they approach you with a hot stick after shaving at a barber in Turkey,<br />
don’t be afraid, it’s just for cleaning
