My holiday

Dosya:Antalya alley.jpgOn my holiday, I was in Antalya. My aunt and my best friend live in there. I like Antalya and I want say something about Antalya where is a city on Mediterrenean coast of southwestern of Turkey. If you want live with historical time, you can go marina, Yivli Minare, Kesik Minare, statue of Attolos, Hıdırlık tower, Hadrian's gate etc. If you wat do shopping, you can go Güllük, 5M or Özdilek.
The weather was bad, so I didn't swim on the sea but I watched to sea, it viewed a picture. If you like sea, you must go to Beach Park or Konyaaltı Beachs. Antalya's beach is the longest beach on Turkey.
After that, I went to Uşak. My mother lives in there but I don't like there. Because; Uşak is very cold. I missed my mother but we didn't spent a lot times. My mother lives very fast.
After the Uşak days, I went to Kütahya. I met my friend and my father. My grandmother said "I can't your face, you always meet your friend." and she was angry.
