Pink Railing - Red Stairs

I was walking around downtown of Silifke and I noticed these red stairs and pink railing. It was very interesting indeed, as I haven't seen such weird colour combination anywhere else in Silifke.. or the globe.

Turkish Quince - Taurus Mountains Quince Fruit

I met this enthusiastic gardener, Yusuf, a retired postman from Silifke who now spends his summers in a mountain village its called Mara, at the top of Taurus mountains of southern Turkey. He loves his fruit trees in his garden. He has a very opulent tree there, a beautiful fruit tree; its Quince.

We went to his garden on a sunny day at the end of October to pick the quinces. Absolutely amazing fruits. Yellowish colour, golden brest shape big and small ones. This Turkish variety of quince is so delicious, juicy and attractive to eyes.

Alahan Monastery - A day trip to see a 1500 years old Church

Alahan Monastery, A Magnificent Old Church

Last year I joined a group of interesting people from Silifke, Turkey who were preparing for a day trip to far top of Taurus Mountains, to see one of the most amazing historical churches of this area. Its called "Alahan Monastery"

On a beautiful spring morning, after 2 hours bus journey we arrived at a spectacular point in a high pine forest somewhere between Mut and Karaman. We got off the buses and started to climb.. it took about 1 hour to reach the monastery..
