We left Ka\u015f, stopping at the ancient ruins of Phaselis. This city was founded by colonists from Rhodes. Later it was part of the Lycian Federation. The following image is the main street that runs between two bays the border the city. On the right hand side of the street, are pedestals from monuments to various residents of the city.<\/p>\n

As with many cities, this one also has a theater. The city was built below Mount Olympos (Mt. Olympus), which is captured from the theater in this image.<\/p>\n

Water was supplied from a nearby spring to the city by means of an aqueduct. Only a short section of the aqueduct remains, captured in this image.<\/p>\n

Here we can see an archaeologist at work, making sketches of one of the ruined buildings. He had laid out a survey tape around the building on the right-hand side that was the subject of his sketches.<\/p>\n

After leaving Phaselis, we boarded the bus, heading for Antalya. After lunch, I made this image of the beach stretching out towards the distant mountains, where a storm was brewing.<\/p>\n

Antalya is a favorite tourist destination on the Mediterranean Coast. However, this year, tourism Turkey and many other European destinations were depressed. As a result, there were several empty buildings in Antalya.<\/p>\n
After lunch, we headed to the Antalya Museum, where several archaeological pieces from ruins in the Antalya region are displayed. The following image shows the “Heracles Sarcophagus” (Hercules Sarcophagus) that was recovered after being smuggled from the site of Perge. The sides of the sarcophagus depict the 12 Labors of Heracles.<\/p>\n
