The place where my soul finds peace and gathers life-giving energy... This is Kemer. Especially in the off-season, when the beaches are deserted and the sea is clean and calm, the mountains are covered with snow and look blue in the distance... The sea and mountains are the most beautiful creation that you can look at forever! A person cannot live without a home... It so happened that because of the war we have been traveling for almost a whole year. And Kemer has become like a second home for us, where we are returning for the third time to regain our strength. So today I invite you to take a walk around my favorite places...
We got up, drank coffee. The day outside the window of our apartment on the minus first floor was wonderful, bright and promised heavenly pleasure... So, my Darynka @darine.darine and I drank our morning coffee with a Raffaello candy and hurried to go for a walk to catch some sun vitamin : )
The pleasant must be combined with the useful :) Therefore, the first place we visited was the central square of Kemer, where our favorite grocery store Carrefour, MilkBar ( Babylone ), our first apartments "Maison the heart", where we settled in March 2022, when they first came to Turkey... You can see Kemer with my eyes a year ago, when in March I found myself in exotic Turkey for the first time, heard the singing of the mosque for the first time, saw orange trees for the first time! Now we walk here like at home, knowing every street and every corner. And here is the car of the owner of MilkBar - our friend Yucel. You can see the number plate with his name and date of birth :)
An interesting white retro car passed in front of us. I always take photos of such exclusive cars. We did our shopping and returned to our World Cities Residence aparthotel. And later the three of us with Victoriya @bugavi continued our walk to the sea.
Having passed the already familiar arch in the form of rainbow hearts, which is a favorite photo zone of all tourists, we came to the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, where a wonderful view of the mountains opens to the left. I get incredible pleasure from watching the clouds move over the mountains and the sky over the sea change! We like to sit here for an hour, make a video for Instagram. I used to love coming here to the waterfront to do breathing exercises and yoga exercises by the sea, breathing in the beautiful sea air. I will soon do these exercises again... After a walk by the sea, we want hot Turkish tea.
Nearby is a social cafe "Deniz" ( "Sea" cafe ) for the local population, where a glass of Turkish tea costs 3 TL, unlike tourist cafes, where the same tea costs 10 - 12 TL. Our favorite pastime, which we learned from the Turks, is drinking Turkish tea for many hours :) Sometimes we drink more than 10 glasses. That's when the price difference is very noticeable :)
We continue our walk, moving to the left in the direction of the mountains, along a beautiful avenue along the first-line all-inclusive hotels. There is a park area above the sea, beautiful wooden bridges. Exotic southern plants, towering palm trees and strange trees with intertwined roots that you can sit on when you're tired :)
While I'm enjoying the scenery and taking my photos, Darynka has an interesting job: sitting in a cafe, she made a parachutist from a paper napkin and a bag of sugar :) that is attached to a parachute ( the bag of sugar - that is our parachutist)! And now she sends him down, standing on the bridge :) ( watch the video! ) 🤣🤣🤣

Children are our cheerful mood, right? The next adventure is a cute fluffy puppy peeking out from the hotel balcony. We became friends with him :)
When it gets dark, the mountains around Kemer turn dark blue! I like to apply different effects to give the mountains a more mysterious look. Here are some more photos of the magical evening views of Kemer.
Thanks for the great initiative #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay :)
I hope you enjoyed walking with me in a beautiful Kemer, surrounded by blue mountains. We have been on our journey #thelongestrip for almost a year now... Thank you to each and every one of you who are watching and enjoying with us ❤️
