Perseids meteor shower in Turkey 

August 11, 2023

Fans of astronomy and space, of course, know that this weekend it will be possible to observe a unique phenomenon - the Perseid meteor shower. This year this phenomenon can be observed from July 14 to September 1. However, this weekend is the peak of "stargazing". In Turkey, you can see "shooting stars" on the night of August 12-13 from 23.30 to 04.00.

A weekend idea!
If you are in Alanya now, you can combine two interesting activities! Go to the mountains of Alanya on the Gökbel plateau, where on August 12 and 13 there will be a festival of traditional wrestling Güreş, and there in the mountains, after the festive program and concert, you can watch the Perseids meteor shower! Have a good weekend!
