There may be hope yet for keeping entranced by idle travel. Today’s marathon-prep bordered the rocky cliffs of Antalya cascading into the Mediterranean; seedy bits near project apartments (summer housing?) to encourage a sprint. Sabah pension is near City Park. Park of local lovers, wedding photographers and Efes-drinking elders. Restaurants: all orange trees, hibiscus blossoms and tranquil pools. Outside the old city – walk across the glass paved bridge – we find $3 meals of meat stuffed eggplant, stewed green beans with red peppers, and spanakopita.
