  Title: Gulf of Antalya, Southern Turkish Coastline
  Description:
  The historic and strategic southern Turkish coastline and Gulf of Antalya 
  (37.0N, 31.0E) has, since ancient times, served as the classic land and sea 
  invasion routes to the riches of the Near East as Persian, Greek, Roman and 
  later European Crusader armies traveled the familiar routes of conquest.  
  Even in modern times, this area is still the seat of political and military 
  unrest as diverse cultural groups still strive for regional control.
