 The ancient harbour by MalenaN
In the harbour are tour boats lying on line. If you walk around here in the evening you will for sure be asked to go on a day tour the day after or on an evening trip that same moment. Leave a Comment

 Serving coffee by MalenaN
Across the courtyard is a restored Orthodox church. Here there is an exhibition of ceramics.
There is also a bookstore in the museum.
Entrance fee is 1 000 000 TL (July 2004).
When I was there I was the only visitor. It was in the morning so I hope more people find their way there later during the day. It is centrally located in Kaleici.

Aspendos amphitheatre is one of the many sites to see in Asia Minor and one of the best preserved. It has a shape of semi circles with diameters of 95 metres. It has capability of seating for 7000 spectators.
Around 155 BC Zenon the Greek architect built the amphitheatre dedicated to the Gods and the Roman imperial family Marcus Aurelius. During the reign of Marcus Aurelius Aspendos city became prosperous and the amphitheatre was the central culture and economical welfare for the rich Romans. The imperial family and other rich Romans were entertained by operatic play, the Gladiators, wild animals fighting to the death.
The Seljuk’s Empire restored the amphitheatre and was used as caravanserai. The theatre is still used today, the theatre acoustics, stage decorations all testimony to the Greek architect success.

The sandy LARA beach lies about 12 km to the east.Closer to Antalya,but to the west,the long,pebbled KONYAALTI beach offers a view of breathtaking mountain range.A little farther long,the BEY DAGLARI(Olympos) National Park and TOPCAM Beach provide more splendid vistas.SICAN is a lovely nature island.There are camping grounds at the north end of the park,should you decide to linger amid the natural beauty.For a panoramic view of the area drive to the holiday complex and revolving restaurant on top of Tünektepe Hill.
Lara beach,in the east of the city,an asphalt road in lenght of 12 km will lead you there.It lies in a never ending line and has become popular for its crystal clear waters. Leave a Comment
