A stop on our second last day on the boat. The Turkish coastline is covered with evidence of settlements dating back as far as 400BC. Here we see some elaborate and extremely heavy stone tombs, most of which are generally intact.
Ellie visiting some Sarcophagi – these two had fragments of Greek inscriptions.
The heat was most oppressive, even in the late afternoon. Fortunately I found some nice icecream nearby for Martina.
Out boat is on the right in the background. On the island opposite this sarcophagus are the remains of the ‘sunken’ city, largely unexplored by archaeologists, established in 400BC and destroyed in a massive earthquake around 400AD.
