Caravanserail – built by Okuz Mehmet Pasa in
1618 in an Ottoman architectural style consists
of an open square-like rectangular court which
is surrounded by a two storied and roofed
portico. The construction is covered with a flat
roof. By the excavations, a fountain was
revealed in the middle of the courtyard and was
decorated as a pool. The attractive building
served for the sea trade of the region and since
1965-70 it has been serving as an authentic
hotel and restaurant.
Belly
dancing is part of Turkey's heritage and
culture. It is called"gobek dans".
It developed through the influence of many
different cultures and continues its long
process of development today. Originally, the
belly dance
was a fertility ritual, it had its exact meaning
in the religious rituals and ceremonies.
Today belly
dance is very popular, Turkish people see the
dance as a high point to a social event, and pay
the dancer relatively highly.
It is still the custom for the bride and groom
to hire a belly dancer for their wedding or for
a family to hire her for the circumcision
parties.
Oriental dance is uniquely designed for the
female body, with an emphasis on abdominal
muscles, hip moves, and chest moves. It is firm
and earthy, traditionally with bare feet
connected to the ground. It is a dance
characterized by smooth, flowing, complex, and
sensual movements of the torso, alternated with
shaking and shimmy type moves.
