Antalya - Turkey

Antalya is an coastal city found in the southwest of Turkey, its also the capitol of the province with the same name. Als the city is known as the biggest international seaside resort of Turkey, its attracted lots of tourist in the sunny months each year. Also because of the great temperatures the local sweet oranges have some fame too, yet there are other citrus fruits grown here. Many historical sites in the city and in the surrounding area can be visited, Antalya is founded in the year 150 BC and many civilizations ruled this place, so take look at the flag.


The white flag contained the emblem of the city of Antalya, on the seal they squeezed some things tpical of the place. The blue disc-like shape is represented the letter "A" of Antalya. The orange disc symbolize two things an orange and the sun with its rays. But also that particular figure resembles an palmtree. The clever thing about this emblem its also resemble the Turkish good luck charms you can see and buy along the Turkish southern coast, its believed that its protect the owner for evil ghosts. 

Next the flag of the province of Antalya and that is of white background something completely different. On top we see an small flag of Turkey and two brown rings with no meaning. There is an text which means "Antalya Governorate" and finally the orange figure is the earlier mentioned oranges. I think that the blue leaf shape resembles the Blue Flag that is given to clean beaches and the environment around it.
