Great read! I have never visited ruins of classical architecture, so this post really interests me. I would like to visit a place like this in the future.
Reading about the dog barking at you while you were on your bicycle made me chuckle a bit. I can relate. I had many similar experiences when I was a young kid. I usually kicked at the dogs when they tried to chase me. I was scared, but they were more scared when I kicked at them 😂.
Free Lokma? I don't know what it is, but if it's sweet, then I would like it too. Very curious why it's free 😜
The mosque looks wonderful. I hope they don't restrict people from taking photos of such a majestic building.
The ancient ruins of Perge look wonderful. The stonework really shows the skills of the masons back then.
I imagine a scene at the twin towers during their early days would have looked majestic, because the ruins already look beautiful. And they say the Corinthian ornaments are the neatest of their kind.
It's so cool that you can just pick up a nice cactus fruit as a snack during your stroll. I like that 🤩.
And then a refreshing experience at the waterfall is a good break to cool down.
Your photos of the statues in the museum show the incredible talent of the artists back then and the rich history of Perge as well. It's interesting.
By the way, your dinner looks nice, but it doesn't seem enough because you had such an adventure... Did you manage to cover all these areas in just one day? Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, my dear friend. 🤗 I’m sure receiving such a lovely review is every blogger’s dream. Your visit made me so happy. There are many ancient cities in the area where I live and exploring them is very enjoyable. Our adventures with dogs are really funny. 😄 Even though it feels a bit scary at the moment, it becomes funny when you look back on it later.
Free lokma is a tradition around here. If someone has a wish they want to come true they distribute lokma as an act of charity. Or if a loved one has passed away they might give it out in their memory. It’s sweet and tastes good. As you said I visited all those places in a day, so the food did feel a bit light, but it was already 10 o’clock, so I held myself back a little. 😄
Thank you so much again for this wonderful and entertaining comment 🌸
I should be the one thanking you for giving us such a wonderful tour for free :)
As for the free Lokma, I’m really touched by this tradition in your country or region. It's the first time I’ve heard of something like this. While Lokma may not be a luxurious treat, the act of giving and the feeling of receiving truly show compassion. I’m genuinely impressed by this tradition 👍.
