Page 5 - Sarpedon’dan Keykubad’a Bir Zamanlar Antalya

Here, Antalya, where ancient settlements are located at ev-
ery turn, is a magical city where the world meets today, with
its history and kilometers of mountain range, streams, waterfalls
and just as it was in the past.
Attalos’s Attaleia, Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad’s Alaiye
and Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s Antalya, information that has
remained within the boundaries of archeology until today, it was
brought together for the first time in a single book, in a language
that will reach readers of all ages.
As Antalya tells and shares these stories, it will become a
part of the world cultural heritage. More than just being a pre-
ferred tourism destination for its magnificent sea, sand and sun,
it will enter the routes of modern-day travelers who travel around
the world in pursuit of stories and to get to know new people
and cultures.
With this understanding, Once Upon a Time in Antalya, from
Sarpedon to Keykubad, as the cultural publication of Muratpaşa
Municipality, the result of meticulous work in Turkish and English
met with the reader.
This work brings tourism from the streets of Kaleiçi to the
ancient city of Adada at 1200 meters of the Western Taurus
Mountains. To Kitanaura, Idebessos and Mnara at the summit
of Beydağları, who want to move to Arykanda at the foot of Şa-
hinkaya with its enthusiastic springs. Therefore, this work will
fill an important gap in the creation of sustainable, 12 months-
round tourism policies.
