Anamur is a beautiful city in the South of Turkey, which has an ancient and diverse history, beautiful mountains and blue sea, many mosques and good cafes. I recommend visiting the Roman fortress, which was then an Armenian fortress and then became a Seljuk fortpost. It cost only 10 TL and you are in the 13th century.

Es handelt sich hier umd die grosse römische Stadt Anemurium am Westende von Anamur. Bewohnt von rund 20 000 Einwohnern und eine der besterhaltenen antiken Staedte der Türkei.

Anamur is a beautiful city in the South of Turkey, which has an ancient and diverse history, beautiful mountains and blue sea, many mosques and good cafes. I recommend visiting Anamurium - ancient Greek. It is surprising that the arches built almost 2 thousand years ago still remain above the open sky. It cost only 1,5 $ and you are in the 4th century.

This is really my third visit of Diocaesarea Olba. With my first and second too-short-visit, finally I was able to spend some more time in this ancient city Personally I understand there are "two parts" of Olba: *The first location - where the Hellenistic Temple of Zeus, Arch of Colonaded Street, Byzantine Gate and Roman Temple of Tyche are situated. Most of the tourists visit this location only. Entrance fee is 10 Turkish Lira. *The second location unguarded - where the grande aqueduct, roman theatre, nymphaeum. To reach this area, either by car or walking are the only options. There is no public transport as this acropolis is literally in the middle of nowhere. Behind the grande aqueduct there is vast valley of many romans' rock tombs with beautiful carving, (maybe) small church, cisterns, and more. I have no idea how vast the valley is, but if we keep walking along the valley, it may be endless. My travel partner thought the aqueduct was higher size in in ancient time too.

One of the must to see places for culture and faith tourism lovers. Road Direction Signs are inadequate so its better to use navigation. Admittance is free and avaliable free brouchers at the entrance. There are some remnants on the surface. The info boards in Turkish and English are helpful. Please do not miss out some elegant stonehand handcrafing on some remnants while visiting The underground church.
