Postcard from Turkey!

Today I got a beautiful postcard from Turkey! The postcard shows multiple views of the cities of Side and Antalya. Side is an ancient Greek city that lies on a small peninsula on the Pamphylian coast. It came under Greek occupation when Alexander the Great conquered it in 333 BC. Many remarkable ruins still remain, including that of the Temple of Apollo, which we see on the card. Antalya is Turkey's largest sea resort and it is located on the Mediterranean coast. It has a population of almost 1,000,000 people and it is the third most visited city in the world by number of international arrivals. next to London and Paris. The card was sent by Olivia from Germany who was on vacation there. Thanks Olivia!
