Favorite thing: a "general tip",of course,even if all the site stays off the beaten paths!!!
the first church you meet is the older one (5th century) and the most spoiled.
the other one(6th century),at the bottom,is nearly undamaged.
between them,the remains of a baptistry.

Fondest memory: silence and landscape upon taurus mountains
