(Hürriyet Newspaper, 23 June 2025)




















Sometimes you just want a private BBQ spot for yourself.

The historic structures on Cilvarda Point, a rocky bit of land 
that juts out 400 meters into the Mediterranean Sea  from the 
peninsula at Alanya in Antalya province, create lovely 
silhouettes that enhance the town's beauty.   

Cilvarda Point, which is closed to visitors, is called "darphane" 
(mint) by the populace and there is a church and a monastery 
made with hewn stones that date back to the 11th century A.D 
on the promontory. 

However (!),  some people have jumped the fence around the
Alanya Fortress to make the arduous trek through the Cilvarda
Point's rugged terrain and left debris behind them, including
the remnants of a "mangal" (barbeque pit) made inside the 
church (!).
