Amin Maalouf in COUNTRY "caramel" taste A TOUR! "LEBANON"

Lebanon has some well, others say Liban.Biz better Lebanon.
Lebanon say Amin Maalouf say, Fairuz say, in the mountains greatly grown and flags took place on cedar say, Falafel demek.Ama most of all for many years never-ending war, suffering, death, been the scene of the Middle East Paris was in Beirut say.
I've added the trip to the Middle East geography of this country, people who want to know more, or wonder that the reader will start immediately without waiting.
Wants to go by road, crossing first in this country willing to wait for hours to recommend. We've done so we waited for hours!
This is actually two-leg trip from Gaziantep began with a program that idi.Karayolu yolculuk.Okuyucu visited Syria twice, I knew that before the trip to Syria, leaving his foot in another article, we'll get to the Lebanese side.
Homs, Syria (Homs or Hımms) from the Lebanese border town was cut off anyone who'd been able Abboodieh'e when we wait for 5.5 hours. The first thing I noticed when we approached Lebanon vegetation was turning from yellow to green. I've really seen the other Arab countries, according to the Lebanese a very green country.
When soaking rain which accompanied us in crossing the waiting time in our journey thus began. Exchange offices are plentiful around the pedestal they hold in their hands to roll LL (Lebanese Pound) and wait for those who want to make changes. Another reason for the incompetence of the staff and customs officials with the 5.5 hours we have to wait. All vehicles passing through the customs gate, we are continuing to wait. An occasional bribe surrounding our young people by making hand signals in case the signal will accelerate our transition from the door does not even work.
This border crossing my memory I will not go well, a makeshift hut on the leakage power of a citizen to use the wire to reach the scene was a bar. In this view, the public security officers in front of everyone, even the realization that we all have caused confusion.
Sağolsun Oktay Bey's contribution from the group of officials to accelerate a little was achieved thanks to not having to wait much longer.
After crossing the border this time of our tool we have to wait for clearance.
Fortunately, once we have come to this country anymore, let it break rice returning from the spoon.
If I come to this country a better future with the airline flight despite my fears about my promise to myself.
These delays inevitably caused disruption of the program in the meantime. We could not even recover a.
We start from the point first to enter the country and the green vegetation and citrus groves with Tripoli on the Mediterranean coast (Tripoli), are we set off to eat.
Was almost dark when we reached the city. Of course with the help of the season.
Tripoli is a city in striking first, and the garbage surrounding mountains covered with a full mezbelelik. Inevitably, "Is it too!" I sigh.
Program in the right way to see the castle from the past as well as when we view the market yerininin Located near slums and garbage dumps, in the meantime that our Syrian guide hawks "do not look that way," he says. We reached the castle. Because the decision of the castle into the air and give up the ancient Phoenician port city with an old Byblos'a we decided to set off. Meanwhile, almost every corner in this country will see the checkpoint and the soldiers are confronted with. Who we are speaking Turkish soldiers near the castle with a speech by Mustafa Bey had started realizing. These names are Meğerse Hasan Turkmen soldiers were sitting in a village near Baalbek, and our group was invited to his village. But unfortunately are unable to visit due to the failure of the program.
Our goal Byblos.
Just like the name of a city like trinkets. The decision can not be too much air because we have this cute and sympathetic to the city from this short visit we're being affected. Wraps around the streets accompanied by the smell of jasmine wandering if only we'd say here is a little more time than me.
Now there is a lot of details about Byblos, one of the dates and numbers into a confusing. Reading of this style of writing is more tiring, I know. Enthusiasts can obtain more detailed information from the internet.
As the city of Beirut towards the glory of the brilliant etkileniyorum.Gerçekten knows the city very different from the Arab countries I've seen it a lot, a giant billboard, international brand.
Meanwhile, in the dark for a short city tour to visit the city center and even visit the grave of Rafik Hariri would.
Group, which disappointed me and **** star! Savoy Otel'ine to reach a settlement after our room after dinner I'm on a short city tour.
Tonight, this city looks really beautiful.
Beirut beach from north to south committee has given back to the mountains, sea and palm trees, palm trees along the roads which are too numerous to us a very strange city. Be installed with very steep slopes of the houses is remarkable.
Solidere to reach my goal square, the few people that I have received directions to my destination as a result of 1.5 hours after a walk again, much ulaşıyorum.Yolboyu telörgüsü triple-tank, accompanied by soldiers, of course.
Solidere in the nature of the city center, but obviously disappointed me a lot while waiting uğratıyor.Ben more vibrant and find a quiet place.
After some rest at a cafe to the hotel by taxi, this time the taxi driver dönüyoruz.Tabi accompanied by high volume music.
Throughout the trip the next day my whole trip was satisfactory and the only day I can say.
After breakfast with our goal lifts up the mountain to Harisa, Harisa yerde.Tepede can be considered as a mountain city in the Basilica has a statue of the Virgin Mary.
While trying to avoid a plane, this time I am faced with a cable car. (Approx 45 min), much the way around, the Iranians are waiting for tourists with the opening of the cableway. Hours of 10 teferik work başlıyor.Dört personality small cabin that it lifts a 10-minute short climb, everyone in the Mediterranean and the city, watching me in my head, hat, I buried my eyes kapıyorum.Harisa reached the top when the time funicular system a bit more climb.

Besides the construction of the statue of the Virgin Mary in 2008 with the rising giant would also visit the Basilica, is off though. We have done in this building, this magnificent Olağünüstü excursions are separated by a positive track.
After a short break for coffee in Lebanon are going down. (Of course, I still "Eyes Wide Shut")
Jeitta Mağarları while there ...
I also leave permanent scars on this trip the most part it is.
This is the second biggest cave known to the world caves in Beirut, nearly 20 km away. This cave is located in a valley about 13 USD entry fee.
A short trip to the cave of two galleries and a teferikle çıkılıyor.Mağara oluşmakta.Yukarıdaki camera at the entrance to the gallery, cell phones and cameras, while a lock box so small that we did not expect any one of us is a magnificent place.
The inside is full of stalactites and stalagmites in dim light is designed very beautiful with a light and guided walking trails and cliffs and in places yapılmış.Derin stairs that we have done is extraordinary to me this trip.
Everyone was spellbound, as we exit the cave.
Waiting for us to train a small cave in the output bin and after a short trip we reached the bottom of the gallery entrance.
In a separate dünya.Mağara it has a huge lagoon, and motor boats dolaşıyorsunuz.Yer eğiliyorsunuz.Işıklandırma wonderful place to avoid hitting your head, and water ice, and the Indiana Jones movies after gibi.Adeta treasures in your own feel.

Anyone breaking this time around. I'm looking around for the dining Falafel, after some research here, the popular name for a place to learn. "Barbarian" star search in the street, a street in a small retoran. When we get here can not find seats. After a short wait we finally find a place to sit. In the meantime, follow us, we find that our other friends as well. With plenty of greens, radishes, and hummus with bread here in this unique flavors you enjoy. So far I can say I ate the most delicious Falafel. In my previous trip to Syria and Jordan could not taste the flavor of a kind.

Antalya, Manavgat traveller guide

Antalya, Manavgat
DIRECTIONS:
76 km to Antalya. away. Bus journey takes approximately 1.5 hours. Antalya-Alanya highway improvement, while the newly-opened roads, Manavgat is passed from outside. To enter the district, following the signs for the center, you need to curl up on the left. To access the Manavgat waterfall, passing through the town center and follow signs enough. Transportation, convenient and simple.
GENERAL: Intertwined, and all kinds of history that can be made a tourist center of tourist activity. Manavgat river passing through the center of town, one of the world's longest underground river. Is fed from one source. Above: two dams were built. Tarsus, after leaving the mountains, divided from the middle of the town center and pour into the Mediterranean. Made available on the transportation, for our streams rarely. In the district center, between the two sides, a large iron bridge. Previously, on tea, cargo and human transportation is done by boat, since recently, over the bridge made. On the banks of Manavgat Creek: Parks, tea garden, picnic areas and travel routes in density. Here, in the suffocating summer heat and relax, and enjoy the beauty of the river and the greens were able to create environments.
In coastal tea, there are many boats. These are today, on the Manavgat River, ride tours are organized. In this round, starting from the Manavgat waterfall is go up and the throat. The tour boats that are 30 to 100 people, is approximately 3-4 hours. Tea: is connected to the sea floor is called the throat. In the throat, the taste of water: as in Egypt-Red Sea. At this point, you get breaks. Is it possible to swim. While swimming, when you open your arms from side to side, the river flows on your side, on the other you will feel the sea water. I have a different sheen. Some people, prefer to swim the waters of the river cool and sweet, while some people, the sea salt and warm water, can swim at the same time. Try an amazing beauty, you must live it.
In Manavgat, 64 km has a coastal strip. However, the whole coast, the hotel kept by. Public beaches, are not uncommon. Therefore: any place that you can not swim. That is: only by participating in the daily boat trips, have the chance to swim.
Historical Process: Manavgat, in the eastern part of the ancient Pamphily'a region. Pamphilia'nın the root word meaning, in Greek: the tribe is made up of states, tribes, states say. The name of the county, first settled here and their "grocery" given name, given by Turkish enterprises. In the district, in the historical process, the Seljuks in 1220 and 1472 are seen in the sovereignty of the Ottoman administration.
Today about the history of the district organization, is not possible to find a clear record. However, in this area, based on well-established before the settlement is estimated at 150-200 years. With the declaration of the republic, in 1924, was an accident and the City was connected to Manavgat. At that time, County, and malaria due to overflow of river water does not fascinate. County seat, long time, around Manavgat Creek, has been referred to as a two-necked. Tea in the boat, between the two sides, was carrying cargo and people. After 1960, the County, began to grow and prosper. By a German company, the largest iron bridge over tea, has a relaxing transportation. Thus, the Manavgat, winning a contemporary urban look.
Manavgat Waterfall: Manavgat on tea, including major and minor, are two waterfalls. Of the district, 2 km. In the north, large waterfall on the way, is determined to right, and went to a small waterfall. Road, 1 km. inside, your face out of the tea small waterfall section. Compared to the big waterfall, pouring into the river from a height smaller. Environment, has been turned into recreation areas, restaurants and tea gardens. This is more like it is in a lake.
The big waterfall, four miles of the town. in the north. Water, surprisingly less than a height (4-5 meters from a cliff) loss, though the length is too long and a waterfall pouring over the line and there are crackles crackles flow. Therefore, given a very beautiful waterfall view.
In the section of the waterfall watching, designed around canals and embankments. From each side, see the flow of water and a nice feeling to feel. Feet, the section close to the waterfall into the waters, and you can feel the coolness of the water. Ice water. Also, roots and branches of oak trees that have reached into the water. The scene of children and young people, as it rises above the trees, are jumping in the waters of tea, created a beautiful image and action, is attracting interest. Yes, watching the waterfall in the section: restaurants have terraces looking. Also, selling all kinds of souvenir shops. In this store, here has, you can find all kinds of souvenirs. However, it had been known to get here from the municipality they are tender; have something to eat in restaurants and in the case both in stores and shopping, while the prices I would recommend you to show the necessary attention.
Yes, the Manavgat waterfall, Antalya in: Duden waterfalls, and a rarity in the lead, but actually flows less than the height, power and water to flow over long lines due to be watched, is worth seeing. Definitely stop by, you should see.
