Just
returning from a 3-day weekend in Antalya in
southwest Turkey, which is considered the Turkish Riviera.
We
hiked, explored ancient ruins, dipped our toes in the Mediterranean Sea, and
just simply enjoyed ourselves. An amazing area! I will be posting photos and
trip reports throughout the week.
Stay
tuned!
Olympos
(Latin: Olympus) was one of the Lycian cities, dating back more than 2,000 years ago, that I’ve mentioned before
in Turkey. Later, the city was ruled by pirates, the Romans, Venetians, Genoese
and Rhodians and finally abandoned after the arrival of the Ottomans in the 15th
century. Today, you’ll find fragments of ancient, stone buildings and temples throughout
the former site of Olympos.
