About one and a half hour away from Antalya, up un the hills, there are ruins from an ancient city (about 300 BC). The people living there were calling themselves Solymes. We read that it was one of the ancient city best conserved in Turkey.
We went there around Easter time (quite a while ago already) with our french friends. We were amazed by all we saw.
Above, one of the hundreds of sarcophages (tumbs) you can see up the hills.
To reach the city walls, you have to climb for a little bit which sometimes scares the tourists away.
These are ruins from the "roman gymnasium". Most of the walls are still standing up even after so long. But trees and other plants are growing all over.
Another sarcophage, and a great view....
The theater, on the top of the mountain (1220m) could welcome around 4000 people.
From there, you have an amazing view from the all valley under.
