We wholeheartedly celebrate May 19th Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day

Today, We wholeheartedly celebrate May 19th Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day in Turkey!!!

The Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day in Turkey features state ceremonies and sports events throughout the country on May 19 each year. 

Atatürk was born in 1881. But his birth date is not known. In one of his speeches, he declared that he considers his birthday as May 19, in clear reference to the beginning of the national struggle in 1919.

What do we do?

In the run-up to the May 19 celebrations, young Turkish athletes carry the national flag from Samsun, a Black Sea port from where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk started Turkey’s War of Independence in 1919, to Ankara, the country’s capital. The marathon usually takes about 10 days. The Turkish president accepts the flag at a ceremony on May 19.

Various sports events take place on May 19 throughout Turkey. Many people celebrate this day by watching athletes perform at their local stadiums or by participating in sports events that are open to the public, such as half-marathons. University students usually prepare special programs for their teachers and parents on this day.

Many Turks also observe May 19 as Atatürk’s birthday. Although the exact date of his birth is not known, Atatürk used to say he was born on May 19 (referring to his political career). Many people lay wreaths to Atatürk’s monuments and hang Turkish flags outside their windows.

Temple of Tyche Inaugurated in Side

With the support of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Antalya Governorship, Historic Cities Association (MOA), Anadolu University, and the Municipality of Side restoration of Temple of Tyche was finished in one year, and was opened with a ceremony.

Temple of Tyche

Temple of Tyche is a round building in Agora. It is erected in the name of the Goddess Fortuna in AD 2 century.

Side Ancient Theatre

Tyche (Fortuna) was the goddess of fortune and personification of luck in Roman religion. She might bring good luck or bad: she could be represented as veiled and blind, as in modern depictions of Justice, and came to represent life's capriciousness. She was also a goddess of fate: as Atrox Fortuna, she claimed the young lives of the princeps Augustus' grandsons Gaius and Lucius, prospective heirs to the Empire.

Side

When you visit Side, we strongly advice that you should see the Temple of Apollon, Temple of Tyche, Ancient Theatre, and the Museum of Side.

Where is Side? 

Side is an ancient city in the region of Pamphylia, in what is now Antalya province, on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. It is now a resort town and one of the best-known classical sites in Turkey, near Manavgat in the province of Antalya. It is located on the eastern part of the Pamphylian coast, which lies about 20 km east of the mouth of the Eurymedon River (Köprüçay). Today, as in antiquity, the ancient city is situated on a small north-south peninsula about 1 km long and 400 m across.

Side Apollon Temple

Today, Side has become a popular holiday destination and experiences a new revival. Side offers visitors a great choice of accommodation, as well as traditional shopping, bars and restaurants, and plenty of things to see and do.
