Strolling through the streets of Side, this colourful souvenir shop immediately caught my eye. Especially to my daughter and me. My son had already walked on towards the boats, meanwhile enjoying his ice cream. Those who know Side know that it is full of shops. But not like this 'market', as the facade sign indicated.
The facade almost looks like a collage of culture. Every pendant, every detail tells its own story. It is the combination of colour, tradition and sunlight that makes this scene so irresistible. Anyone who has ever strolled through southern European or Turkish streets will immediately recognise that feeling: warm, lively, full of character.
It is such a recognisable holiday scene: a façade full of beautiful white dream catchers, nazars that ward off the evil eye and enamelled wall decorations in all colours. A shop that sells not only gifts, but also memories.
You need only glance at it and the holiday vibes are back. The feeling of sun on your skin, sea salt in the air, relaxation and pleasant calm in your mind.
Home or not - it's holiday time again immediately.
