On our next day in Antalya, we did a little walking around town (and made a Starbucks stop!) before heading to the beach. Here are some pre-beach shots... all two of them.
The flowers are lantanas, a type of flower that grow all over the Florida Keys. My mom likes them.
Anyways, so after a gruelingly crowded city bus ride, we got to Lara Beach!
We then had dinner and finished our night with some delicious ice cream at this place called Vanilla Lounge, where Annika successfully scored us a ton of free samples before we actually purchased our ice cream. Mad props, girl.

But, we walked around the harbor and this lovely little harbor-side park, where they had this really interesting exhibit that talked about how cities all over the world are simply becoming Disney World-ish... for example, people don't need to go to the real country, they can just go to Epcot; people can see both New York and the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas.
It was a really interesting perspective on the authenticity of travel and experiences, I guess. I still like Epcot, though.
After we walked around the harbor, we decided to go to Antalya's world renowned archaeology museum. And here's the funny thing about maintaining a blog. I thought, before I went into the museum, that I'd just include some fun pictures of the museum at the end of my post about Antalya. Except I didn't realize how serious a museum this would be. Or that I would spend an entire BATTERY of power in this sucker. Hence, it gets its own post. You'll thank me later.
