Antalya, brand of luxury yacht-making

Turkish yacht-makers operating in the Mediterranean resort city of Antalya are becoming more and more renowned worldwide after selling luxury yachts to globally known figures, such as Formula One driver David Coulthard, Kuwait's Al-Sabah family and several other rich businessmen from around the world.

Boat builder companies first started operations at Antalya Free Zone eight years ago, and sold over 130 luxury yachts in this period, Zeki Gurses, top official of the free zone, told the AA on Wednesday.
"They are now building 50-60 luxury yachts a year. Antalya has become a global brand in yacht building," Gurses said.

A significant part of these yachts were exported mostly to Italy, France, United States, Middle East countries, the Netherlands, Britain and Germany, Gurses said.

He said yacht builders in Antalya had famous customers such as Formula One driver David Coulthard, Kuwaiti Amir Al-Sabah's family members, owners of British and German supermarket chains, whose names were kept secret, and famous American yacht manufacturer Genmar's chairman Irwin Jacobs, who ordered 300 mahogany yachts for the U.S. market which were valued at 150 million USD.

Following reports that the impact of the global economic crisis has lessened, orders for luxury boats and the manufacturing of yachts have increased at a free zone in Antalya, Turkey’s Mediterranean resort city.

In the first five months of 2010, yacht builders in Antalya sold seven luxury yachts to clients from France, Norway, the Cayman Islands, the Virgin Islands and Panama. These exports brought $27.4 million to Turkey, yacht builders said. Seven more boats will be launched in a couple of weeks from shipyards in Antalya, free zone director Zeki Gürses stated. “Our goal is to reach an export target of 25 luxury yachts by the end of this year. Turkey has become a country that has a say in yacht building,” he added. Yacht builders in Antalya have reached a total trade volume of $560 million over the past 10 years.

Antalya - Demre Myra - The Home of Santa Claus

Myra was a leading city of the Lycian Union and superseded Xanthos in early Byzantine period to become the capital of the Lycia Union. The ruins of Myra are situated about 2 km north of todays Demre, on the Finike - Kas road. Today this large plain is almost covered with fields stuffed full of tomatoes. In ancient times this area was also probably farmed extensively, for trade purposes with the interior parts of the Lycian Union.

Myra is well known for its amphitheatre (the largest one in Lycia) and the plethora of rock-cut tombs carved in the cliffs above the ancient theatre of Myra. The St. Nicholas Church is a must see and is a short distance from the site of Myra on the outskirts of Demre and is really worth the trip. Inside the church is the sarcophagus of St. Nicholas although his remains were taken to Italy in the 19th century. The earliest church of St. Nicholas was built in the 6th century AD probably over St. Nicholas tomb. Later the church was rebuilt in the 9th century (probably rebuilt after Arab attacks). It was further rebuilt in 1042 under the patronage of Constantine of Byzantine Empire and a monastery was added at that time. Czar Alexander II of Prussia bought the building in 1863 and began to have it restored, but the renovation was never completed. Excavations and restorations were done during the 1960s and continue even today from the early 1990s. St.Nicholas Church, Myra, TurkeyThe churchs floor is of beautiful types of luxury marble mosaic floor tilings and there are some remains of wall paintings. A marble sarcophagus was reused to bury the bones of the St. Nicholas himself but actually were stolen earlier and taken to Bari, Italy.

St.Nicholas was a popular bishop at Myra in the 4th century AD, born in Patara between 260 and 280 AD. St. Nicholas was famous for his miracles and was known for his kindness. His parents died of the plague and he was left as a wealthy young man. St. Nicholas was known for his charitable nature and humility. Several legends about him have been based on his kind and giving nature and have led to the development of Santa Claus. Today, Noel of the Christianity is rooted from St. Nicholas of Myra.
