Beautiful views, a normal road. Take your Panama hats and water with you. Admission is free, there is no one. Perhaps you will be alone looking at the ruins. There are many lizards, hornets, swallows and flying beetles. It has not been fully excavated. Perga is more interesting in this regard) it's worth coming even for the sake of some species!)

A wonderful, magical place! Not yet damaged by Turkish restorers. Here you can feel the spirit of a bygone time. We often come here just for a walk. Great view of the surrounding valleys.

An interesting attraction, with a minimum of tourists. Kinds. There are very beautiful views of the surrounding area. We rented an ATV, it's a pleasure to ride along the winding paths, you can go down and pick up on the gravel.

If you arrive by car, you can walk there all by yourself - excursions are brought in transit, for 20 minutes and leave. After the fire, part of the territory was overgrown with bushes, but the main part is well accessible. The difference of epochs and examples of ancient technologies are clearly visible) And a gorgeous panorama from the cliff

We love coming here. After a forest fire 5 years ago, unfortunately, all the pines were cut down and the mountain turned out to be bare, but now the ruins of the ancient city are clearly visible. A good place that has not been reached by crowds of tourists and a state with fences and entrance tax collectors. Definitely worth a visit.

It's a great place, we drove here by car, we never regretted it, it's much more interesting than many tourist places, there is a place to climb yourself, if you read about it on the Internet and prepare yourself, then only positive emotions await you. Take water with you only, in the summer, when we went, it was very hot there.

The cool ones are ruined, there are no tourists at all. Admission is free, it is not fenced in any way. The road is quite confusing, you can get lost. You can drive for 20 minutes.

It's a very interesting city. This city is not guarded by anyone, there is no one. It's not far from Side, the city is well preserved. While walking through the ruins, they found a lot of potsherds, but then they left everything in the city, they didn't dare to keep it for themselves. You can only get there by public transport. This is the best location in the vicinity of Side.

It is incredibly beautiful and an entourage place. Alexander's troops came here and founded the city! Korod is at the top of the mountain. Water was also supplied here, huge stone buildings, baths, houses were built. It is simply unimaginable - with what efforts all this was built and how it has been preserved to this day. The road to the place is rocky, through the forest, but the trip is worth it. A very atmospheric place, full of history.

I'll add to the reviews - there is a road almost to the gates of the city, you can get there by car. It's better not to drive up to the gate, it's just bad with the coating. The consequences of the fire are gradually overgrown, the pines are alive. In order to get around all the buildings, you need appropriate clothing and shoes.

The place definitely deserves a visit! Excellent access by an ordinary passenger car right to the city itself! We were in April. There are few people. There are only Europeans. The territory is quite large, there is a place to roam. There is no heat in April, so it turned out to enjoy a walk around this ancient place. The views of the mountains and the valley are stunning. We combined this trip with the Oymapynar reservoir (or Green Canyon is a bombastic place too).

It's a great place. From the series "touch the antiquity". Before visiting, you need to read the history on the Internet. There is no guide. At the entrance there is an information board with a description of the historical place. Admission is free.

A great place to explore the history of ancient Greek civilization on your own. The road leaves much to be desired, but it is such an "untrodden" place for unity with nature and awareness of the impermanence of existence.

The place closest to the Seat. If you rent a car or even a bicycle, it is quite achievable. I would not buy a tour here, there are more interesting options. But if you take it together with something else, like the Manavgat waterfall. I was running from Side as part of a long run

The early Christian chapel shown in my photos was built in the northwestern part of the Agora (commercial and business part) of the city of Lirbe in eastern Pamphylia in the 4th-5th centuries. The chapel is a symbol of the arrival of Christianity in Anatolia. The Agora itself was built in the 2nd century BC (Hellenistic period). The main architectural compositions of the Agora were: 6 gates-entrances along the perimeter, a library and an exedra from the north, a semicircular odeon (concert hall) with wooden seats, as well as shops on the eastern side. Most of the floors in the rooms of the Agora were covered with colored mosaics. Orpheus, the famous singer, musician and founder of the religious and philosophical movement of Orphism, was baked on one of the preserved mosaics. This and several other less well-preserved mosaics are now on display at the Antalya Archaeological Museum (Antalya Arhchaeological Museum).

The city of Seleucia is actually lyrbe. Not a bad road to the city, quite colorful. There were no people at all, no payment, no security. Climb wherever you want, feel and touch. The scale is impressive.
