Newyork


New York sehrinin modern tarihi, Avrupali gezgin Giovanni Verrezzano’nun henuz ismi olmayan New York koyuna gemilerini 1524’te demirlemesine kadar uzanir. Aslinda Avrupalilar gelmeden once de New York’ta Kizilderili kabileleri yasardi. Sehre ilk adi olan New Angouleme’yi Fransiz krali 1. Francis onuruna Verrezzano verdi. Yaklasik yuzyil sonra bu kez Hollandali gezgin Henry Hudson sehirde egemenlik kurdu ve sehrin adini New Amsterdam olarak degistirdi. Bu donemde Avrupalilar yavas yavas bugunku Brooklyn Heights semti ile yine bugun Financial District olarak bilinen Downtown Manhattan’a yerlesmeye basladilar. Bu ilk donemde Avrupalilar kendilerini Kizilderili saldirilarindan korumak icin adini http://www.ny.gov/ bugunku Wall Street’e veren bir duvar insa ettiler.
Yillar gectikce Kizilderililer kuzeye dogru cekildiler ve Italyan ve Irlandali gocmen akininin ardindan da Manhattan adasindan tamamen ayrildilar. New York, sadece New York sehrinin adi degildir. Manhattan adasinin resmi adi da New York’tur. New York(Manhattan), Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx ve Staten Island ilcelerinden olusan sehrin ismi de New York City’dir. Guneyde New York City’den baslayarak Kanada sinirina kadar uzanan eyaletin de ismidir New York. New York sehri bugun, dunyanin en onemli finans, ticaret, medya, kultur, sanat ve eglence merkezidir.
Dunyanin en dinamik ve en hareketli yerlerinden biri olan New York sehri, bircok insan icin firsatlar sehri olarak bilinir. Dolayisiyla dunyanin dort bir yanindan binlerce insan her yil sehre yerlesmeye gelir. New York sehir nufusunun neredeyse yarisina yakini ABD disinda dogmustur. Sehre girmeden once, uzaktan birer kule gibi gorunen yuksek gokdelenler gozunuze carpar. Bu sizin icin bir hulya gibi gorunebilir. Ancak o buyuk binalarin arasinda hergun milyonlarca insan hareket etmektedir. Yogun trafigi, insan trafiginin yaninda cok kucuk kalmaktadir. New York’ta gunduz saatleri boyunca kimsenin isinden baska herhangi bir seye ayiracak zamani yorktur. Dolayisiyla herkes buyuk bir telas icinde sabah isine gider ve yine buyuk bir telas icinde aksam evine doner. Turkiye’deki imajin tersine New York’ta insanlar uzun saatler boyunca yogun bir calisma temposuyla calisirlar.
Sehir tam kaynayan bir kazan gibidir.
ABD’ nin en büyük şirketlerinden çoğunun merkezinin bulunduğu kentte, Wall Street Bölgesi, dünyanın finans merkezidir. ABD’ nin başlıca ticaret merkezi olan New York’ ta, sanayi ve turizm de büyük ölçekte gelişmiştir. New York, dunyanin en cok turist ceken kentlerindendir. New York ayni zamanda ülkenin baslıca öğretim ve kültür merkezidir. Sehirde dunyanin en iyi egitim kurumlarindan bir olan Columbia universitesi ile New York University (NYU), Fordham, Yeshiva, Long Island, Barnard üniversiteleri ve yuzlerce muze ve sanat galerisi vardir. Dunyanin en onemli muzelerinden Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim Museum ile International Center for Photography New York’tadir.

TIMES MEYDANI
Time meydani, Manhattan'ın midtown bölgesinde yer alır. Buranın sanat merkezi haline gelmesine sebep 1873'te Metropolitan Opera Evi'nin (Metropolitan Opera House) bu bölgeye taşınmasıdır.

New York’a ‘Hic uyumayan sehir’ lakabinin verilmesinde Times meydaninin rolu cok buyuktur. 1980’lerde fuhus ve uyusturucu ticareti ile unlenen bolge, New York’a iki devre ust uste belediye baskanligi yapan Rudolph Giuliani tarafindan temizlenmis ve dunyanin en unlu turistik alanlarindan biri haline getirilmistir.

About Dubai

From the timeless tranquility of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors. The emirate embraces a wide variety of scenery in a very small area. In a single day, the tourist can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe-inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with wind towers to ultra-modern shopping malls.

The emirate is both a dynamic international business centre and a laid-back tourist escape; a city where the sophistication of the 21st century walks hand in hand with the simplicity of a bygone era. But these contrasts give Dubai its unique flavour and personality; a cosmopolitan society with an international lifestyle, yet with a culture deeply rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia.

Since earliest times, Dubai has been a meeting place, bringing together the Bedouin of the desert interior with the pearl-diver, the merchant of the city with the sea-going fisherman.
Dubai is fast becoming one of the world’s favorite and most exclusive tourist destinations and offers the very best in sports, entertainment, adventure and shopping. From enjoying a lazy day at one of the many 5 star beach clubs, where you will be waited on hand and foot to a round of golf at one of the 7 world-class golf courses, to enjoying the thrill of Dune Bashing in the desert you will find it all here.

If you visit Dubai during the Annual Shopping Festival you will not only be able to soak up a truly magnificent atmosphere which engulfs the entire city for a whole month, but you may even pick up bargain electrical goods, clothes and even win yourself a luxury car or apartment in the fantastic draws available at this time. Dubai certainly has that carnival feel during the Dubai Shopping Festival.

Dubai can guarantee you an all year round tan! The skies are blue and the temperatures range form 24C in January to as high as 45C in July. Rainfall is very irregular so no matter what time of year you plan to visit you can be sure the weather will not put a damper on your holiday.
Amongst all the glitz and glamour Dubai still has a traditional side. A visit to Dubai museum is a must for those interested in the growth of this captivating city. There are also many other places of interest providing a glimpse at life in Dubai before the discovery of oil.

Bodrum




Bodrum, gelegen aan de Golf van Gökova in het uiterste zuiden van de Egeïsche-Zeekust, is een stad met ongeveer 25.000 inwoners.
Bodrum is thans een aantrekkelijke, grote badplaats die met zijn drukke jachthaven vooral liefhebbers van watersport aantrekt.

Istanbul


Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is Europe's most populous city (the world's 3rd largest city proper) and Turkey's cultural and financial center. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.[2] It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.[3]

Mersin



Mersin is een havenstad aan de zuid-oostkust van Turkije en ligt in de gelijknamige provincie Mersin. De kust waar Mersin aan ligt heet de Cylicische Kust. Met ruim 600.000 inwoners is het een echte stad met alle bijbehorende voorzieningen. Voor een plaats van deze grootte heeft mersin echter maar weinig hotels. Het aan de kust gelegen Mersin Hilton en de in het drukke centrum gelegen Taksim hotel zijn eigenlijk de enige grote hotels die de stad telt en worden vooral bezocht door zakenlui.
Het toerisme naar Mersin staat op een zeer laag pitje, ondanks de aanwezigheid van stranden, uitgaansgelegenheden en winkels. De aanwezige voorzieningen zijn echter meer op de lokale bevolking dan op toeristen gericht en de structuur van Mersin is gewoonweg (nog) niet berekend op grootschalig toerisme.
Omdat er hier relatief weinig westerse toeristen komen kun je wat meer van het echte leven zien. Urenlang rondwandelen zonder aangesproken te worden door iemand die beter wil worden van de aanwezigheid van toeristen kan hier nog, in tehenstelling tot de populaire Turkse badplaatsen waar je tot vervelens toe aangsproken wordt door verkopers, kelners, bedelaars, time-sharingverkopers en andere mensen die iets van je willen.
De economische drijfveer van de stad is de haven en de daarbij behorende free zone, waar een groot aantal magazijnen en kledingateliers zich bevinden. Samen met Istanbul is Mersin één van de belangrijkste havenplaatsen van Turkije.
De bebouwing in Mersin wordt vooral gekenmerkt door appartementengebouwen van ongeveer 3 tot 20 verdiepingen hoog. In het centrum hebben de onderste verdiepingen van deze gebouwen vrijwel altijd een commerciële functie (winkeltjes, horeca, kantoren etc.)

Reizen naar Mersin
Met het vliegtuig vlieg je naar het nabijgelegen Adana. Met Turkish Airlines vlieg je in ruim 3 uur naar Istanbul en aansluitend kun je met een binnenlandse vlucht van 1 uur en 15 minuten naar Adana (airport code ADA) vliegen. Vanaf Adana rijdt je in ruim een uur per taxi naar Mersin.

Reizen in Mersin
De beste manier om je te verplaatsen in Mersin is per taxi. De afstanden in het centrum zijn ook nog lopend te doen waarbij het beste de boulevard als oriëntatiepunt aangehouden kan worden.

ÖLÜDENiZ



WHY THE ÖLÜDENiZ ?

Through we describe Ölüdeniz as a busy resort, it is still idyllically undeveloped. Walking ten minutes out from your hotel, you reach a wood, a hillside, or an isolated cove.... Nature surrounds you, but just ten kilometres away is the bustling market-town of Fethiye, renowned for it's aubergines and tomatoes
Fethiye has a fine harbour and quays with restaurants where you can enjoy freshly caught fish, sample a glass of Turkish 'çay' or just photograph the fishermen mending their nets.


All banking facilities and good medical care are available; major roads run out in all directions to mountains. Dalaman airport is just 60 km. away. Weather in summer months averages 32, and drops to an average 20 in winter. But, at will, you can change the seasons around ... Playing snowballs in June, half-an-hour's drive up Babadağ Mountain, and swimming in December in a sea temperature of 17. Whenever you come and wherever you stay, you will always find a smiling face and a helping hand. Having visited us once, when choosing your next holiday, you will ask yourself
