Top Sehenswürdigkeiten

Hi, ich wollte als Bild eigentlich eine schöne Strand/Bucht-Aufnahme haben, wie dieses hier http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AlanyaCastleNorthWestSideView.JPG , aber ich habe nicht soviele gefunden, die auch als kleines Bild ein wenig wirken.

Hier mal einige Highlights aus dem Lonely Planet Turkey, sucht euch ggf. eure Lieblinge raus, und schaut, ob es dazu Artikel gibt:

TOP FIVE Festivals Turks really know how to have a good time, so it should come as no surprise to hear a festival or event is on nearly every other day. These are our top five; see p658 for others. „ Camel wrestling ( p246 ) Bloodless bull-wrestling. „ Nevruz ( p658 ) Kurds, Alevis and everyone else celebrate the ancient Middle Eastern spring knees-up on 21 March with joviality. „ Aspendos Opera & Ballet Festival ( p395 ) Unbeatable Roman-era venue. „ Kafkasör Kültür ve Sanat Festivalı ( p575 ) More bloodless bull-wrestling. „ Kırkpınar Oil Wrestling Competition ( p171 ) Yet more battling, but this time it’s greasy buck-wrestling!

R&R Ooo la la. You’ve come to the right place with your empty to-do list. In one word: hamams. These are our favourite, plus a couple of other options to indulge in some much-needed R&R. „ Çemberlitaş Hamamı, İstanbul ( p133 ) Touristy sure, but sublime architecture and a head-to- toe service make a visit to this ancient institution a must. „ Cağaloğlu Hamamı, İstanbul ( p133 ) Arm-wrestling with Çemberlitaş Hamamı for the title of most beautiful hamam. Heck, try both! „ Kurşunlu Banyo, Termal ( p287 ) Soak your toes in steamy, mineral waters, then cool them off in the open-air pool – bliss! „ Kabak ( p363 ) The word’s starting to get out about this off-the-beaten-path beach community. Get there fast. „ Sultaniye Hot Springs and Mud Baths ( p351 ) They’d pay a packet for this in Manhattan, a nose-to-tail mineral mud-pack.

Hallo Lynxxx, Pamukkale hatte ich nicht gesehen, hab in der ersten Zeile gesucht. Hab noch den Nemrut Dağı reingeschrieben, halte ich für wichtig, auch wenn er beim Welterbe schon steht. Ansonsten fange ich lieber garnicht an, noch was reinzuschreiben, sonst finde ich kein Ende. Nee, ist schon ok die Auswahl! Wenn Du noch was zur Auswahl haben willst, kuck mal bei [1] und klick auf Türkei-Führer und dann auf "Antike". Die Seite leidet allerdings sehr unter meiner Faulheit, seit ich bei Wikipedia aktiv bin. Grüße -- Kpisimon 16:35, 8. Jul. 2009 (CEST)
