Ending my season in Turkey meant I could stay and play for a few days. I had 72 hours and plans to be anything but ambitious. I meandered through the impossibly-narrow maze of Kaleiçi streets, drank fresh pomegranate juice, swam past Hıdırlık Tower, cruised to Kemer on the sea taxi, walked under Hadrian’s Gate, and lazed on Mermerli Beach.
