Kılıçarslan

We continued along the coastline towards Antalya, visiting St Nicholas Church (Yes, THAT St Nicholas! ) on the way. Did you know St Nicholas was Turkish? I think I may have read that somewhere. He was born in SW Turkey and died in Myra where his church is located. It has some well preserved frescos.

A little further along we saw some Lycian tombs carved into the rock as well as another amphitheatre. When we reached Antalya we visited the museum but as we had already visited here several years ago we only took a few photos. Had an orientation walk around the Old City but no pictures (because Brad didn't take the camera).

Next day was nice - a drive up into the mountains to visit another ruined city called Sagalassos - and another amphitheatre! Seems to be a theme running here. The place is at an elevation of 1700m and had great views but was also a bit tough walking as we kept going uphill all the way. The fountain was very nice and still running. The rest of the day we just chilled out.Läs mer
