After a lifetime of struggling I was diagnosed with ADHD at 40. Going on meds has been life changing. I wish I had been diagnosed earlier. My life could have been so different. As a little homage to my meds I bought this little pendant. I thought the blue was going to be a closer match but I still love it.
Will be visiting the area next week and staying in one of the many all inclusive resorts. I prefer to leave the resort and get out to explore the local towns and culture while on holiday.
I have never been to Turkey before but would like to do a bit of shopping for quality Turkish souvenirs to bring home. After reading some horror stores online I’m worried I’ll get ripped off. I’m a Scandinavian looking female with blonde hair and blue eyes, so very clearly not a local.
Things I’m interested in purchasing are quality silk / wool scarves, pottery or home decor bits, coffee, olive oil, soaps, a nice traditional woven cotton beach towel (can’t remember the actual name) that I’ve seen mentioned before, and a nice delicate evil eye pendant made from real gold or silver. I’m not into costume jewellery or overly gawdy evil eye stuff. I’m also open to suggestions for other great local things to buy.
Can anyone suggest a place near the resorts in Belek or Antalya that I could visit where I won’t get ripped off?
