We will leave our hotel and head the North-West of Antalya towards the Tauros Mountains. Termessos is located some 1200 meters above the sea level in a wonderful setting of flowers and Mediterranean type bushes and trees. It has a reputation as being one of the two cities which Alexander the Great was not able to capture. The local inhabitants, The Pisidians, were brave. The location of the city is an “eagle’s nest”, makes it difficult to explore without enjoying a nice hike through the forests. The old city of Antalya, the fortified crescent-shaped settlement surrounding the harbor still bears some traces of its history. The fortification walls were first built during the Hellenistic period and were enlarged and restored during the succeeding  Roman, Byzantine and Selcukian periods. The impressive triple-arched Roman gate on Ataturk street was built to commemorate the visit of Emperor Hadrian in 130 AD.  This partially restored  marble structure with elaborate decoration, is one of the best preserved Roman remains in the city. Kesik Minare (Truncated Minaret) which was built in the 13C by Sehzade Korkut, with the remains of a roman temple, a Byzantine Church is a very good example of transition of religious symbolism from one culture to the succeeding ones. Hidirlik Kulesi (Hidirlik Tower), which originally was built in the 2C AD, is a very good example of the type of  Roman tower tombs built for a local dignitary. It is still standing on a promontory cliff overlooking the harbor. Yivli  Minare (The Fluted Minaret), which became the symbol of the city, is a part of a Selcukian medrese (religious college) and mosque complex built during the reign of Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat in 1230. The traditional 18 and 19C houses still standing in the Old City are now under protection and are being restored under the control of the Ministry of Culture.

The land of Pamphylia, meaning “the land of all tribes” was probably one of the most wealthy areas of all the ancient world of the Roman Empire. Perge was a very important trading harbor, where the magnificent remains of this brilliant period can be observed. The best example of a Bath-Gymnasium complex still stands to a sufficient height to witness the glory of the pass, as well as the colonnaded street, the agora, fortification system. Aspendos, purely a native Anatolian city, holds the best preserved theater of the anceint days. Side is one of the well-known ancient sites in the region.

After departure we will drive to the lovely fishing village of Ucagiz, ancient Theimussa located in a deep cove on the Mediterranean shore. Embarking our boat, we will have a fascinating trip along the northern side Kekova island with numerous remains of ancient buildings carved into the rocks which are partially submerged into the sea.  A careful eye will also catch the sight of the other buildings under the sea through the crystal clear waters of Mediterranean. Due to the rise of the sea level and a depression of the land, part of the settlement is now under the sea level. The Simena castle to the east of Theimussa is located on a promontory hill controlling the passage formed  by the island of Kekova. The traditional architecture of the village and the Lycian remains upon the scenic village haunt the visitors. After visiting Simena we will cruise by the half-sunken sarcophagi back to the Ucagiz where we will have our lunch in a seaside restaurant. On the way back to Antalya we will stop at Myra, one of the six important cities of ancient Lycia, to see the magnificent rock-cur cemetery and the Church of St. Nicholas where he worked as a bishop and was buried after his death. We will be back to the hotel late afternoon.
