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 />

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 />

Enjoy!<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 />

Alanyas annual Triathlon competition starts<br />

tomorrow and those who are in Alanya over<br />

the weekend are lucky because we can wittness<br />

some incredible sportmen and women.<br />

Sunday, mainly around the city center.<br />

This year our new college and member of the<br />

<strong>2Base</strong> family Adnan Sedef will compete. Of<br />

course, all our support will be with him.<br />

We wish Adnan success in the reace and for<br />

the rest of you we wish a pleasant weekend.<br />

They service anchovies, sardines, haddock,<br />

sea bream, sea bass, calamari, shrimp, mackerel<br />

and mussel pan varieties and Hamsi Finger<br />

is the largest fish bread chain restaurant<br />

in Turkey.<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 />

between bread, then try Hamsi Finger.<br />

The restaurant is also located not far from<br />

our office, so you can combine a delicious<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.

Turkish Real Estate Vocabulary<br />

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 />

The race have a total of 8 stages leading the<br />

peloton via Antalya, Kemer, Fethiye, Bodrum and<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 />

Congratulations to all teachers on Teacher’s<br />

Day. We thank and respect them for the<br />

knowledge they contribute to us and our<br />

children.<br />

2-8 November Leukaemia Children’s Week.

In our opinion, one of the most fun activities to do in Alanya is water sports.<br />

So let’s talk about the duration and fees of some water sport activities you can do in Alanya.<br />

Jet Ski<br />

When it comes to water sports, the most known and preferred water sport is definitely Jet Ski.<br />

the number of people. If you are 1<br />

person, it costs 60-70€ if you are 2<br />

or 3 people, it costs between 70-<br />

100€.<br />

Parasailing takes between 12-15<br />

minutes on average.<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 />

especially when it is done at<br />

sunrise. The average price of sub<br />

boarding in Alanya is between<br />

15-20€.<br />

Such activities last an average of 10 or 15 minutes and cost between 20-40 euros per person.<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 />

if nothing is purchased... The location<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.

Turkish Real Estate Vocabulary<br />

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.

not get more than 50% of the votes in the first<br />

election, the election will continue with the<br />

second round.<br />

The two candidates who received the most<br />

votes will participate in the second round of<br />

voting.<br />

If needed, the second round of elections will<br />

be held on 28th of May.<br />

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 />

Alanya Tourism Festival will be held in Alanya<br />

with food, beverages, hand craft items and a<br />

lot more will be set up inside the festival area.<br />

There will also be theater plays, competitions<br />

and fireworks during the festival.<br />

So if you hear some noise from the harbor<br />

area, don’t worry. It is just the Tourism festival....<br />

Everyone is welcome and invited to join the<br />

good times and since all concerts and other<br />

activities are for free there is no excuse not to<br />

be there...<br />

Some recipes may also have delicious<br />

additions such as almonds, pistachios or<br />

coconut.<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
