Antalya
is an ideal place to enjoy a "vacation from your vacation." The day
is all yours to enjoy the impressive Ancient Greek sculptures in the Antalya
Museum, one of Turkey's finest archaeological museums; explore the narrow
cobbled streets of Antalya's old town and Roman harbor; or experience a
traditional Turkish bath (your guide will help arrange it). No bus. Walking:
light to strenuous (your choice).

After a later start Mert led us by tram to the nearby Antalya
Archeological Museum.

Did you hear the one about a Scotsman an
Englishman, a Spaniard and a Welshman who went a Turkish Bath... (Though the
Welshman bears an uncanny resemblance to Tutankhamen). At the Hammam guys and
girls split off into different complexes. In just a towel we laid on a marble
slab in a tiled sweat-room, rather too similar to a morgue! Next, a rub down
with a rough glove and pumice followed by oil and bubbles to remove the grease.
Having been pummelled, oiled and exfoliated we were wrapped in towels and led
to a restroom - see photo. Suitably relaxed, an oiled massage completed the
regime.

Flamboyant! No Turkish shave is done over unless you have a spank of
fire to burn tiny hair.
