MY CITY IN 10 PHOTOS

Hello to everyone

First of all, I would like to thank @worldofxpilar who organized this contest.
I want to talk about my hometown Antakya.
Antakya is the most populous central district of Turkey's Hatay province. Antakya is in the south of Turkey.
Antakya is a very important city in terms of both its food and cultural history.

One of the places I love to visit in Antakya is Harbiye. The place where the Harbiye Waterfall is. It is a place where the water flows loudly among the greenery of the trees and has a beautiful air.
There are famous restaurants where visitors can sit and eat.

There is also the village of Vakıflı, where there is a Musa tree, which is a place that I really enjoy going to and must visit. The Musa tree is in the Samandağ district of Hatay.
It is said that the Moses tree has a history of 3,000 years

The Ab-I Hayat Fountain is next to the Musa tree. According to the legend, Prophet Musa went up to the mountain with Hz.Hızır and where this tree was located, Prophet Musa stuck the staff in his hand into the ground. He bends down and drinks water, and when he looks back, he sees that the staff has grown into a sapling. It is believed that this sapling came to life from the ab-I life water.
Many visitors come here. It is a touristic place.
Laurel oil is very famous. You can buy laurel oil from here. Silver and various jewelry are sold. Also, women here make and sell a variety of liquors with their own hands.

Places to visit There is the St. Pierre Church, the world's first cave church. It is on the Antakya-Reyhanlı road.

Hz. St. Pierre, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus, came to Antakya in ancient times and tried to spread Christianity in this church. Religious meetings were held in this church, and the name "Christian" was given for the first time in this church. Pierre Church to be one of the first churches of Christianity.

It is a famous monument of Atatürk, our great leader, located on the coast in Iskenderun district of Hatay province.

Hatay's Arsuz district is a seaside resort.
It is famous for its breakfast and nature.
