Lycian Way out of Xanthos |
Walking in a Roman aqueduct - still in use after 2000 years without maintenance |
The symphonic system at Delikkemer. Yep, the Romans could make water run uphill! |
Each block is about a meter cube with a 30 cm hole weighing a tonne. They fit together perfectly. |
Sometimes we just sit. On a well, with goats looking on. Used a billy, rope attached, to get water from the wells. |
Sura - giant, three story tomb - biggest in Lycia |
Myra - restored Roman theatre - rock tombs behind |
Rock tombs at Myra |
Typical coastal scenery. Bluest skies since Marrakech! |
Our best night, camping at the light house. The light house keeper travels from his village each evening to light, and each morning to extinguish, the gas fired light. |
Typical country cottage |
Olympus. Roman tombs. Note the sliding doors |
Olympus. Cold night here in a tree house |
Olympus. Temple |
Another tomb. Fancy one! |
Pam cooking at the Chimaera. Permanent flames from cracks in the rocks. Slept in the ruins of a Roman church. Full moon. Crazy people all night. Not much sleep. |
Bee boxes on the Way to Tahtali |
Tahtali - the big one (2366 meters) aka Mt Olympus. Hard uphill slog for a two days. Slept about 2000 meters. Froze. Set off at dawn for the summit. Followed wrong path = wrong summit! |
Cyclamens. By the million. Shocking pink |
Jeff takes a wash in a goat trough |
Finished after 25 days. BUT this is nowhere - 30 kilometers from Antalya. Walked 10, hitched 10, bussed 10 |
Finally. Antalya old city |
