Business in Old Town

Business in old Tarsus city center. Hot in the summer, old streets are linked to another through passages in old shops, following the playful sunlight and hidden dark shadows inside, with vendors, sellers on the streets. This is the old town of Saul, Saint Paul, still having the same glimpses of mysterious ancient times. Maybe you can find Aladdin's Magic Lamp and Alibaba here...

O son, break all the ties and be free, for how long will you be captive of gold and silver? If you try to pour the sea in a pitcher, the pitcher will take only the need of the day. The pitcher of greedy people's eyes is never filled, but an oyster is not satiated unless it is filled with a pearl!
