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.

Visited here 5th October 2018. Visited over 30 ancient cities on our recent tour of Turkey, and this was definitely one of the most interesting and had a good variety of building types from several era. Easily accessible archeological site bisected by the D400 Road. Active excavations are ongoing. Mosaics from different era are visible. Mosaics from around 1st century AD have been covered (and are now being uncovered) by newer mosaic tiles from the 5th century AD. Well signposted. We were fortunate enough to get a tour from the archeologist in charge. Definitely worth stopping here.
