it was not easy to chose my first subject for my first blog!

i've chosen a name - TOPKAPI PALACE -the hotel name where i stayed in turkey on my last holidays (june 2009)!

The monument:

it is a palace in Istanbul, Turkey, which was the official and primary residence in the city of the Ottoman Sultans for 400 years of their 600-year reign, from 1465 to 1853. (sultans of the ottoman dystany ruled over a vast transcontinental empire from 1299 to 1922(spanned from Hungary in the north to Somalia in the south, and from Algeria in the west to Iraq in the east. Huge empire!
The palace was a setting for state occasions and royal entertainments and is a major tourist attraction today, containing the most holy relics of the Muslim world such as the prophet Muhammed's cloak and sword. Topkapı Palace is among those monuments belonging to the "Historic Areas of Istanbul", which became a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1985, and represents the rich and luxurious ottoman period.

The hotel resort:

as most of Antalya hotels (south of turkey) it is a replique from the historical monument combined with a primer service from the topbest swimming pools equipements to the daily entretainment reflected in the cleaness, organization and making each guest the top priority among thousands.
