My life runs much faster than the Internet where I am))) So I'm far behind the events that are in my #TheLongestTrip!
But I want to recreate one by one these beautiful places I visit. In addition to beautiful parks, cafes, the sea and the mountains, there is a fantastic unique architecture, in each city a little different.
And although I am already far from there, today I will show you the masterpieces of Kemer, which I photographed walking there for three months.
The first thing we saw when we arrived in Kemer was a mosque!
This is a completely different building than the churches in my home country. I have already written about the singing of the mosque and what I visited inside before. But I will write later separately, showing the details of this majestic building, the singing of which several times a day filled me with special feelings and reminded me of how grateful I am to God for settling me and my children in peaceful Turkey.
And today walk the streets of Kemer with me to see and feel the unique architectural face of this cozy resort town, which I now call my third home!
This is our first home in Kemer - Heart the Maison. It is located on the central alley and has beautiful views of the mountains and the central square, where there is a mosque. This accommodation inside is truly a luxury. We lived there for three days, but there were two downsides. The first - it was too loud to hear the singing of the mosque at 5:30 am))) And the second minus - the price of these apartments was too high for us.
Here is a hotel building that has always given me great pleasure and I stopped and enjoyed this Turkish architectural style as I walked down a quiet street to the nearby Milk Bar.
Homes in Kemer are usually white or pastel tones. They have balconies and deep enclosed loggias. At first I did not understand why they are so deep, but then, when the heat came, I realized that we can go out there to drink coffee and not be in the scorching sun. Also look at its round arches, which look very beautiful. It is the arches that distinguish the houses of Turkey and are their highlight.
And here is a hotel with white columns, which I wanted to stay. It looks like a mini palace of the queen in my opinion :) The central staircase, covered with Turkish carpets, leads to the second floor. The rooms are cozy but too dark in Victoria's opinion. And the design is not as modern as she likes.
When we first walked the streets of Kemer and looked for the best accommodation for us that everyone would like, there were disputes between me and my daughter Victoria :) Because I first noticed the exotic houses in the Turkish style, and she looked at modern villas with large panoramic windows. Later we settled in In Suit Luxury Hotel, which was chosen by my Victoria. My youngest daughter Darinka wrote about this cozy hotel. I was pleased because the design reminded me of my own cottage left in Ukraine. White walls and broken ceilings.
And from the balcony, where I drank coffee, I could see the mountains of Kemer!
And the singing of the mosque was not so loud and did not wake me up too early )))
There was also another hotel Mese, which I really liked. A particularly good combination, in my opinion, are the white walls and dark brown wooden windows, which are divided into many small window frames. As well as its carved wooden balconies. And a magnificent palm tree above it. I often walked around it and took a lot of photos day and night against the blue sky, so beautiful! But inside the rooms were very cramped and dark. However, they are clean and the price is attractive - in March it cost $ 20 per day.
The main attribute of each hotel is the pool, because the heat in Turkey in summer is more than 40 degrees.
I really like the rooms at the top of the house, I always love to live there. But I think it's better to live on the ground floor in summer, it's colder.
Another beautiful Dinara hotel that looks luxurious due to its white color and semi-round arches on the balconies. It is also looks very rich in railings in the old style.
All hotels are surrounded by lots of greenery and flowers! And surrounded by palm trees, they look like heavenly estates, which are nice to be in. Flowers in Turkey are diverse, colorful and very fragrant. There are also hotels where there are many pots on the terraces.
I hope you enjoyed walking the streets of Kemer with me. Once you get there, I think my tour will help you choose the best accommodation!
