Photographer’s Note

Antakya'nin eski mahallelerinde sokaklar hala daracik, bir camdan otekine fincan uzatilabilir evlerde insanlar nasil "kol kirilir yen icinde kalir" sozune inanbiliyorlardi acaba?
Antakya'nin tipik evlerinden geriye cok bir sey kalmamis olsa da surada burada bir iki eski ahsap ev zamana direnmis.

Antioch-on-Orontes (Antakya) retains its medieval charm in the older part of the city with its old houses that line very narrow streets. Such narrow streets is a good way to provide shade and keep cool in a very hot climate. In some streets you can not even stand side-by-side. How families maintained the privacy of their homes under such intermingled conditions is a mystery.
