My journey continued in the beautiful turkey by visiting another region of the country probably the most beautiful that ever saw in this country which is Marmaris. We went before to Spanga and we saw the most beautiful landscapes ever that is considered the main tourist center of the country. Located at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, facing the other part of Greek islands, Marmaris is surrounded by a beautiful setting of hills and very beautiful sea, Its landscape allows visitors to do many activities such as water sports, hiking in the mountains and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. We could reach this very beautiful city by a flight with a duration of one hour forty from Istanbul to the city Dalaman then go by car with a duration of about one hour thirty Marmaris and where we really discovered this paradise place.


- Tour by boat near the waterfalls


The most beautiful landscape i ever saw in my life were the waterfalls of Turkey, an amazing and beautiful tour by boat allowed us to discover the beauty of the nature at all its aspects, my turkish friend was accompanying ud during this amazing tour and we felt really like four princesses and one knight. We discovered in ourselves many great qualities of singers and we sang some amazing arabic songs while enjoying the beautiful green vegetation in the mountains surrounding the river place where we could discover many waterfalls on the left and on the right coming out from the different sources located in the middle of mountains and allowing us to hear the beautiful sound of the water in movement, the big birds were then invited in this natural spectacle to have fun and eat the various fish offered by the river, we could see from far away the houses of the locals with their multicolored facades and their style of construction very typical of turkish architecture, the guide was then giving us useful informations about the different treasures the city is offering and i could really know much things such as the generosity of poeple that was without limit, the economy of the city also was also based on the agriculture and many inhabitants were exercing the activity of farmers.  The farmers had the function in this region of raising poultry and caring for farm animals on the one hand and also harvesting fields and cultivating many agricultural products.

The houses were arranged very elegantly along the river with the restaurants and the colorful cafes characterised by triangular roofs, a beautiful view could also be seen there and we could enjoy many delicious Turkish dishes and Dessert dishes especially characteristic of this particular region of the country such as Baklavas that consist of a flaky paw decorated with dried fruits such as nuts and mixed with honey, the Künefe which can be prepared with cheese or tuna inside and covered also with honey and a sweet taste from the outside, the mix of the two lead to an explosion of flaviors inside the mouth that i would recommand to every one going to visit turkey.

- Marmaris the beauty paradise


Marmaris is really veay beautiful and wonderful city with much charm characterised by a long coastal bay with multiple palm trees very high ressembeling a bit the palm trees of miami beach. A serie of luxurious hotels is disposed along that beach part in a fubulous resort. We could enjoy really an amazing color of the sea that i never saw before, color of crystal and so pure water that we could enjoy by swimming in that cold water and by relaxing a lot by the view of palm trees that i like very much. The prices of one night in a hotel room in this region varied a lot but were of course much more expensive than in winter times that is exactly why i would advise poeple to book in this amazing hotels in the season of the spring meaning between the months of april and june mainly to be able to spend a reasonable amount of money since the city is very touristic and very famous for being a bit expensive in the summer times.

- Race cars spectacle


We went in the evening to walk inside the city beautiful streets and we enjoyed the beautiful turkish style in construction and in special festive atmosphere with music on very loud in the streets. Then we saw from far away poeple gathering in a huge mass and we were wondering what was happening because we had not idea at that time. We approched and we found out like a circuit made inside the city and with borders around to let the poeple crosse them, we asked one girl that was waiting with her friends about the actual reason for this so ahe told us that by eight pm a spectale of race cars will be held in front of poeple 's sights we were really so pleased that they will held such a spectacle while we were visiting the city by hazard. So we decided to wait with people to see this amazing show. After many conversations with locals, we could establish with them some links as they were really very cool and easy going poeple, i can say that became our friends in a vey short time even. Then the sun set was giving the city an amazing beauty and unique charm. W e could have dinner outide in the street since we could buy many delisious dishes from the street vendors offering various menues. Then suddenly poeple started to yell and cheer a lot, i think it was the beginning of the spectacle. A race car decorated with so beautiful drawings not vey big in medium size and with ahuge sound of motor came from far away and started to accelerate in so much high speed then doing drifts around the circle of the circuit and doing amazing show for poeple to see, it then even entred through an obstace in so high speed that was actually some objects of very light material so there was not any side effect then on the car.
The music was so loud and an atmosphere of aparty established very quickly, the festive atmosphere even gave us more excitement to follow this superb show and i did many videos even in night time, the party atmosphere even increased the adrenaline of the drivers who were going crazy and offered us crazy tricks, it turned out that they were professionals of the field of car racing and we had really much amazing time because from my personal point of vue, i liked so much these car shows and i wanted even to see a real racing between two cars for example but the circuit made was a bit small so they did not perform races. I remember watching all the movies of fast and furious and i really liked to see the racing of professional cars in the streets, i also felt that we were so much lucky because such a show really could be closed and only offered to poeple in exchange for huge amounts of money but it was really free dor us we were blessed at that night and our luck really allowed us to see such amazing spectacle free in the street. The amazing actor Paul Walker was one of the best actors for me he loved the speed and the cars and he performed so much succefsul serie of movies that everybody surely know because it was not only the united states cinemas but also in all the cinemas worldwide and it was a really huge success. Many people even have a special passion for these racing events and are fond of the sport cars that have special motos comparing to the regulars cars and make it their field of expertise, unfortunately that actor that i liked so much died because of speed, so while i was watchig the show i had a small thought about him and i knew how it was also dangerous to perform such shows. Turkey is really so much beautiful to discover and a so great destination that i would advise poeple to go enjoy it as much possible as they want.

Turkey is really a very beautiful discovery to me, i did not think in the first time that i was taking the plane that i would find great atmosphere and great landscapes, that i would create a long lasting friendship and that these links would last for years and years really i had great time and the most amazing moments ever. In the first time, i was supposed to do an internship to turkey in a research lab but i could not go at that time because of lack of financial income so the lab accepted me but i had to finance alone the work which was an issue so i had to cancel that project but after going there mainly for tourism purposes, the country gave me great joy , wonderful feelings and amazing view that i could go there for some studies or volunteering because i had really a special and amazing crush and my heart beats were so fast during each adventure i lived in this amazing country that i recommand for most of the poeple  outside to visit it even once in a lifetime.
