Settled in Alanya


Now that I am settled in Alanya, I have been doing many things such as exploring  castles! Swimming in the Mediterranean! Enjoying walking around the city! I've also been doing homeschool -_-

First of all, yesterday I took a tour bus up to the top of a large hill and went to a castle. This is not your normal Disneyland castle, this is an ancient castle about 1,000 years old. Even if it's that old, we were still allowed to climb on it and jump on it. 




I have noticed they have very different safety requirements in Turkey. 

The view from the castle is amazing, it is a view of the Mediterranean with white streaks across it. Another view from a different part is the city next to the beach with turquoise water and big waves. 


On the inside of the castle were rock walls and a big well, there were small arrow slits in the walls and a huge door way. I think the trip to the castle was really fun and really cool and I hope I'll get another.
