Things to Do  

TEATRO

TEATRO, Gebeler

 mtncorg Says:  With 34 well-preserved rows of seats, the theater has endured some bad years since it was built what with earthquakes and the advent of newer forms of entertainment. A significant aspect of the theater was that it was built up on a plain and not carved out of a hillside like...

TLOS - LYCIAN MAGIC

 The ruins of Tlos were my favorite among those I visited in Lycia. Lycian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman civilizations have all left their marks. From the top of the castle ruins you have a magnificent...
