Late afternoon in İslahiye usually ends the same way: you sit facing the Amanos foothills and wait for the plain's coolness to settle in. This is Gaziantep at its least frantic — nobody here minds that you're in no rush. Stretch out toward Yeşemek, walk the Karasu riverbank, then pour another tea. Come for excitement and you've got the wrong district; come for quiet and you've nailed it. Can't decide? Roll the dice — the plain will slow you down regardless.
