Urartu civilization is one of the Anatolian civilizations that established multi cultural structure in this peninsula. All Eastern Anatolia was their territory. Urartu State has a deep heritage in the region. Some of them are hidden and unfortunately they are unearthed by illegal excavators.
A space after a tunnel was discovered by illegal excavators.It is one of the best samples of Urartu architecture. The figures on the wall are very impressive. The works on this space is going on. It is thought that there are more places like it.

The last discoveries proved us that the settlement has been lasting for a long time. It is so long that the ancient sites of this region are around 10.000 years old. Even the ancient Egypt Empire can be considered as young civilization while comparing with them. The oldest temples and settlements were unearthed in the region. The temple of Göbeklitepe is 12.000 years old. The most interesting thing is that those sites were buried after their function was over. We could see some animals that we can’t come across today on the walls of temples. We have some hints on their economical and social life. It is certain that hunting was the major economical activity.
It is thought that there are many ancient sites waiting to be discovered under the surface. Also the myths feed the culture and traditions were shaped in this way.

The history of Istanbul is actually very impressive. The city is full of legends and mysteries. Some of them are well-known by the public. But some of them are forgotten or liberately hidden. This one is intentionally hidden by Ottoman dynasty.
After a hard rain in Istanbul, Fatih region of Istanbul had a lot of rain in 19th century AD. Conquerer Sultan Mehmed involved the dreams of local people; rescue me, I am choking. This event was heard by the Ottoman Sultan. He hired two people in order to investigate it. They entered into the tomb of Conquerer Sultan Mehmed. But they explored that the body of Conquerer Sultan Mehmed wasn’t in the grave. They discovered a tunnel to the Fatih Mosque (it was built on a Byzantian church which included the tomb of Constantine I). Then they entered in a tomb that two emperors were in the same place. They reported it to the sultan. Ottoman Sultan ordered them to be silent about this event.
Constantine I was the founder of the city and Conquerer Sultan Mehmed was the Muslim sultan who conquered the city for Ottoman State (Then the Ottomans were stated as Ottoman Empire). According to the mystery and legends those two rulers are sleeping together under the soil. Their common point is their destiny on this city not their religions.
Whether it is true, the city is keeping two rulers together…..

I have been to Marmaris for four day vacation. It was the beginning of October. Istanbul was colder and cloudy but Marmaris was around 32 celsius. The weather was hot but windy. We have booked at the Hotel Aqua (5 star hotel). It is an all- inclusive hotel. It took around 8 hours and 30 minutes to reach there by car.
We had spent great four days. Although the weather was windy, we could be able to swim in the pool and the beach. The staff was great. They helped us in every occasion. Also the location of the hotel is suitable to have a walk on the coast line. The food and beverage service is great even in October. The rooms are very comfortable and useful. So we have never got bored. The customer profile was mostly from UK and Europe. This holiday became a good opportunity to refresh. That’s why I would like to thank all Hotel Aqua family.
Marmaris is one of the famous holiday resorts of Turkiye. Also the climate can be hot but wind is always blowing there. The beaches are very nice and also the panorama of the Içmeler Bay is worthseeing.
