Ölüdeniz and the Blue Lagoon.
In 19th
century,early steamships and fast merchant sailboats shipped the
rich goods of the Anatolian Plato and the middle-east to
Europe,bringing wealth to the harbour towns of the
Aegean,housing local merchants.
The tough seamen built modest,robust houses for their
families.Surrounded by stone walls,these cool wooden floored
stone houses with shutters and olive tree shaded gardens,were
like oyster shells for the big families to find security and
peace.
If not by earthquakes most of this atmosphere is wiped out by
the tourist industry.Oyster Residences along the beach of Ölüdeniz is the
Oyster
shell for the sensible tourist. |
