<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the Ottoman Empire era the area was called <b>Şorbulak</b>, and the settlement was called <b>Karakilise </b>(<b>Black Church</b>). At that time, the district's administrative centre was located at <b>Alashkert</b>, once an important town. In 1895, Lynch wrote that <b>Karakilise </b>had between 1500-2000 inhabitants, was nearly two-thirds Armenian, and that a barracks for the <b>Hamidiyeh </b>regiment was located in the town. The Armenian population of the town and surrounding valley was massacred during the Armenian Genocide: a New York Times report from March 1915 talks of the <b>Alashkert </b>valley being covered with the bodies of men, women, and children.The "<b>kara kilise</b>" that gave the town its name was a medieval Armenian church. In the 1920s the town's name was mutated to <b>Karaköse </b>(the black man with no moustache) and the church was demolished. The name "<b>Ağrı</b>" might have been given by the Turkish government because of the <b>Ağrı </b>rebellion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The city officially had the name Hısn-ı Mansur ("Castle of Mansur") until the year 1926, named after the fortified castle perched on a hill around which the city grew. As this name was difficult for the locals to pronounce, people were referring the city as <b>adıyaman</b>, which means "its name is tough" or "(the place) whose name is tough" in Turkish. In 1926, this term was adopted as the official name of the city. In present-day Turkish, the word yaman can also have a strong positive connotation, just like the English word 'terrific'.</span><br />

<b>Antalya</b> was formerly called <b>Attalaia</b>, a name derived from <b>Attalus </b>II, king of <b>Pergamum</b>, who founded the city in the 2C BC. The port city became the capital of <b>Pamphylia </b>and was protected by walls in 130 AD. These walls were reinforced in the 10C. During the Crusades, the place became the port of embarkation to Palestine. Taken by the Seljuk Turks in 1207, it was incorporated to the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 14th century.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844872683185575800noreply@blogger.comAntalya, Turkey36.88414 30.70562999999992836.68097 30.38290649999993 37.08731 31.028353499999927tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233788939067992199.post-22671045776673899442013-01-07T02:54:00.000-08:002013-01-10T23:17:24.150-08:00cappadocia maps<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Side</b> is located on a small peninsula, 80 kilometers/ 50 miles to the east of <b>Antalya</b>. It was one of the most important cities in the vast coastal plain known in Antiquity as Pamphylia. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Side</b> is an ancient harbour that was founded in the 7th century BC by Aeolian colonists who had come from the north of Smyrna. The name <b>Side</b>, which means "pomegranate", is thought to have been the symbol of the city because it was represented on the local coins. Before and after the Hellenistic period, taking advantage of the natural location of their city built on a long peninsula, the inhabitants of <b>Side</b> were indulged in the practices of piracy which were more remunerative than shipbuilding activities. The place was also long reputed as a slave market. In the 3rd century BC, <b>Side</b> came under the domination of the Ptolemy of Egypt and Seleucids of Syria. From the 2nd and 1st century BC, due to its good relations with Rome, <b>Side</b>, now devoted to trade, enjoyed a first period of prosperity. After the establishment of the "Pax Romana" (Roman Peace), between the 2nd-3rd century AD, <b>Side </b>reached its peak as can be seen through the numerous monuments built at that period. In the 4th century, the city declined altogether with the Empire. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Set in the hills 8 kms/ 5 miles above Selçuk, this picturesque charming village was once named Kirkince by its Greek inhabitants who settled here by the end of the 18th century. After the great exchange of population following the establishment of the Turkish Republic, the village was repopulated by Turkish people who called it <b>Çirkince</b>, a distortion of <b>Kirkince</b> (which in fact was how the Greeks pronounced the Turkish name Kirkinca!). As the word <b>Çirkince</b> means “ugly” in the Turkish language, the name was finally transformed in <b>Sirince </b>which means “pretty” and which really suits the village.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Marmaris</b> is a major and attractive holiday resort located in a very beautiful scenery bay surrounded by mountains which dip into the blue waters and are covered with pine-tree forests. Local pine scented honey, called “Çambali”, is delicious and renown.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ancient city of Physcus was an important stage on the Anatolian-Rhodes-Egypt trade route. Modern <b>Marmaris</b> developed around the Ottoman fortress built by Süleyman the Magnificent most probably after the Rhodian campain he led in 1522. At the entrance of the narrow street with steps leading up to the fortress, there is a caravanserai from the same period bearing an inscription dated 1545. The fortress was partially destroyed by cannon balls launched from a French warship in 1914 during the First World War. The fortress was restored between the years 1980-1990 and opened to the public as the Museum of <b>Marmaris</b>. The museum has an archaeological section displaying objects unearthed during the excavations at Hisarönü, Cnidos and Burgas near <b>Datça</b>, an ethnographical section and an art gallery. The old houses within the fortress have also all been restored. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The city of <b>Bergama </b>and the archaeological site of <b>Pergamon</b> <b>(or Pergamum)</b> are located in the <b>Bakırçay (Kaikos)</b> river basin, a fertile area of ancient Mysia, approximately 100 kilometers/ 62 miles north of I<b>zmir.</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before the Persian invasion of 546 BC, the region of <b>Pergamon </b>was under Lydian domination. After the death of Alexander the Great (323 BC), one of his generals, Lysimachos, chose <b>Pergamon</b>, a stronghold where he built a citadel, to deposit his vast fortune (9,000 talents of gold) amassed during the wars. Upon his death, one of his lieutenants, Philetairos (282-263 BC), used this fortune and strategic place to found the independent dynasty of the Attalid kings. Rapidly, <b>Pergamon </b>became the capital of a flourishing Hellenistic kingdom. <b>Attalos </b>I (241-197 BC) and Eumenes II (197-159 BC) extended the kingdom to the rich provinces of Mysia, Lydia, Pamphilya, Phrygia. Its numerous architectural splendors and high cultural level made the city prominent. As regards trade, <b>Pergamon</b> was the rival of <b>Ephesus</b>. On the artistic and intellectual plane, it was the rival of Alexandria (they both had the most important libraries in the ancient world, that of <b>Ephesus </b>coming 3rd) and <b>Antioch (Antakya)</b>. When the Ptolemies prohibited the export of papyrus to <b>Pergamon,</b> the use of sheep or goat skin, already long established in the city, was improved and a new writing material, the “<b>Pergamene</b>” (later evolved into the word parchment) was born. The finest parchment, made of calf, was known as vellum. More flexible than papyrus and more easily folded, allowed scribes to transition from writing on scrolls to writing in books. </span><br />

Under Constantine I when Christianity became state religion, Nicea then became an important religious center where, in 325 and 787, two ecumenical councils were held. The first one, under Constantine I, formulated the dogmatic statements of Christian orthodoxy (the Nicene Creed) and defined the role of the emperor both as head of the Church and head of the State. The second one was convoked by Irene and his son Emperor Constantin VI to rule on the use of saints images and icons, after the period of a strong movement called Iconoclasm .</span></div>

Many Phrygian artifacts and sculptures can still be found in the city's archeological museum. There is also a museum of meerschaumstone, whose production remains still notable, used to make high quality meerschaumpipes.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.booktravelturkey.com/turkey_tours/turkey-maps/" target="_blank"><b>Bursa</b></a> is a city in northwestern <a href="http://www.booktravelturkey.com/turkey_tours/turkey-maps/" target="_blank"><b>Turkey</b></a>. It is the fourth most populous city in Turkey and one of the most industrialized metropolitan centers in the country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bursa was the capital of the Ottoman State between 1326 and 1365. The city was referred to as "Hüdavendigar" during the Ottoman period, while a more recent nickname is "Yeşil Bursa" in reference to the parks and gardens located across its urban tissue, as well as to the vast forests in rich variety that extend in the surrounding region. The city is synonymous with Mount Uludağ which towers behind its core and which is also a famous ski resort. The mausoleums of the early Ottoman sultans are located in Bursa and the numerous edifices built throughout the Ottoman period constitute the city's main landmarks. The surrounding fertile plain, its thermal baths, several interesting museums, notably a rich museum of archaeology, and a rather orderly urban growth are further principal elements that complete <b><a href="http://www.booktravelturkey.com/turkey_tours/turkey-maps/" target="_blank">Bursa's</a></b> overall picture.</span><br />
