Bob Sinclar is coming to Antalya


Bob Sinclar has always been hopelessly nostalgic. Even now, as a DJ of worldwide renown, the star of clubs all over the planet, he has never ceased to be that curious adolescent transported by music, building his universe from rhythms that take him to another place.

Over two decades he has shared with the public his devouring passion for both rare grooves and dancefloor tempos. The hits kept coming, the public image was forged through a string of hit club tracks and brilliant remixes. But Chris isn’t just Bob Sinclar, star of the discotheque. Above all, he is mad about sound, thirsty for discovery. So, to start 2010 on an original note, Chris decided on a change of scene.

And he is coming to Antalya, again;

Mon 25th: Beach Party@MAGIC LIFE RESORT WATERWORLD, Antalya (Turkey)

ANTALYA JAZZ FESTIVAL STARTS


Antalya’s esteemed Aspendos amphitheatre is next month to host to its first international jazz festival complete with an impressive line-up of stars. Acts confirmed include fado singer Monica Molina, Macy Gray and the Mehmet Ikiz Trio featuring China Moses.

Considered to be one of the most acoustically brilliant and best-preserved ancient theatres in the world, Aspendos is sure to make for an unforgettable venue. Indeed it is already home to the world-renowned Opera and Ballet Festival, now in its 18th year.

Built during the reign of Marcus Aurelius in the 2nds century AD, the theatre was subsequently used by the Seljuk Turks as a Caravanserai. As a result, the 20,000-seat structure was continuously repaired and maintained and remains impressively intact.

Tickets for the Festival will be available via biletix.com.

Chinese City Kunming to be Antalya's sister city

The Mayor of Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Prof. Dr. Mustafa Akaydın visited Haikou and signed a sister city protocol with Kunming in China.


Evaluating his trip, Mayor Akaydın expressed that they had such a successful study trip and added ‘Especially at Haikou we were accepted at such a high level and that made us so happy.
Haikou is deeply attracted by the tourism potential of Antalya but just 100.000 or 200.000 tourista visits Haikou per year. That’s why they want to become a worldwide known city like Antalya. I think they have the most comprehensive fair and exhibition centers of the world. We have to find new ways to host Chinese tourists in Antalya. Chinese tourists are interested cultural, sportive and historical holiday rather than sea, sand and beach concept. They only have holidays in their national holidays that are in winter months in Turkey. By the way we can host many Chinese tourists in winter months if we pay more attention to Chinese cuisine. They are also known by their SPA and Golf tourism and we can benefit from their experiences.’

Antalya Metropolitan Municipalty signed a sister city protocol with Kunming, another city of China. The Mayor of Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Prof. Dr. Mustafa Akyaydın and The Mayor of Kunming Zhang Zulin signed the protocol Kunming is the capital and largest city of Yunnan Province in Southwestern China. As is ornamented by flowers the whole year it is known as ‘The City of Spring’
