İn Antalya Lifestyle

In and around Antalya, two lifestyles have been inherited for centuries. When the Turks first came here, they immediately followed the established order; villages, towns and cities. A part of the population continued the life of the interviewer as before the Turks came to Anatolia. According to this lifestyle, which is semi-resident, there are at least 15-20 families and sometimes hundreds of families; they used to live in tents, go up to the mountains in summer, and descend into warm plains called winter for winter. They used to raise animals such as camels and sheep, making their living by exchanging or selling the products produced by the inhabitants. They produce meat, milk, fat, hair tents and weave natural root dyed rugs. In the barracks there would be people who planted cereals and vegetables in tight spaces. There were even large groups of judges (tribes, tribesmen) who raised horses for the Ottoman army.

Turkish rugs that decorate the most important museums of Europe today are the eye-hand of these people. A great part of the contemporary folk music culture is inherited from the judges. The greatest poets of Turkish folk poetry and music such as Karacaoğlan and Dadaloğlu are the representatives of this culture. Anciently a settled life continued also in the villages in the rural areas themselves, "local villagers" he described with phrases like, you go to a village that settled en masse nomads "This is the nomad village to say," you can hear such descriptions in almost every part of Turkey.

Today, Turkey is providing the best adaptation to contemporary modern life, technology is one of the countries that use in the best way. But there are a few small groups of judges who have both nostalgic and cultural value and have been living for thousands of years. Their number does not exceed a few hundred people.

These camels are memories of those days. You will also see Yörük tents that serve local and foreign tourists in Kemer and Antalya Kumluca.

When the local people of Antalya find the opportunity even today, they go to the highlands such as Gömbe, Sütleğen and Alanya. This tradition is a remembrance of ancestors. In some districts such as Alanya, you can see that the snow stored in the wells in the Taurus Mountains in winter was brought down to the district center in August and brought into sherbet and sold by the peddlers.
