Things to do in Kalkan, Turkey - Jeep Safari encore!

So here's the video!


And some more pictures of the day.
These are from the ancient Lycian city of Xanthos.

 This was the Byzantine church.  This Lycian community dates back to at least 500 BC. They took defeat very badly and twice committed mass suicide as a society rather than be the losers in battle.  Or rather it would appear that the men killed all the women and children and then themselves...so no room for dissent then.






And this was the entrance in the amphitheatre that the Christians came through when they faced the lions, who were kept in pens to the left of the picture (see the picture underneath too!).

Apparently there were seats for 5000 people to watch these events.  Close by was a nice swimming pool (with a children's pool), presumably where they could go and relax afterwards.
