On June 1, 2014, the VIII International Sand Sculpture Festival will start in Antalya, Turkey, which once again promises to be an unforgettable spectacle for city residents and tourists from all over the world. This year, the festival will be held for the fourth time on the beach of the Antalya district of Lara (between Kundu and Ornekkoy).
The festival is organized by Global Design Art Works in close cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey and the Antalya City Administration.
And although the official opening has not yet taken place, already now the beach is adorned with grandiose sculptures made of tens and hundreds of tons of sand, which, thanks to the unique climatic conditions of the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, will delight all tourists until the onset of winter.
The main program of the current festival is dedicated to the great emperors, commanders and conquerors of the past. In accordance with the given theme, sculptors worked for several weeks, creating majestic compositions from sand (part of which was specially brought from the banks of mountain rivers in Turkey) and water.
