Amazing Myra!

A few days ago I told a short story about Hierapolis in Turkey, and my dear reader @zhuwa in reply noted that in his childhood he went to Turkey and saw several ruins, but he does not remember what it was. So now I would like to publish a few photos of another famous place in Turkey - the ancient Greek city of Myra.
The modern sights of this city consist of an amphitheater,..

Myra was appeared in over 300 years BC and was the Lycian capital. The town had a long story of prosperity until attacks of enemies and nature had destroyed it. However even now walking in Myra we may guess the greatness of this unique place!

I was mentioned! hahaha I do seem to recall the amphitheater though there are many places that look similar to the untrained eye...

All these pictures make me want to go for a culture trip in Greece/Turkey and look at these old civilizations! Thanks for the sharing and the introduction!

I very glad to motivate your trip in Greece/Turkey. Thank you very much for your pleasant reply!

I like the hole in the hill that looks like a house, but the building looks very old ..., Is this building there who take care of it?

Thank you for your reply and question. I am very sorry, but this is't a house. This is necropolis.
