Termessos: ancient city whose crumbled remains sit high on a hilltop above Antalya. The Romans didn't mess with the inhabitants of this great city, on account of their convenient geographic location and barbaric tendencies. Centuries and several earthquakes later the only remaining occupants are noxious weeds and lots of wildlife. We spent four hours or so exploring these incredible ruins and witnessing some amazing views. Once again, we were suprised to find that we were the only visitors on this sunny April afternoon...
Just a door...
Waterways
Sarcophagi
Back from the dead...
We took the path less traveled that opened up into this
Splendid theatre

Tomb Raider
Spring flowers, featuring: Queen Anne's lace
Apollo's frisbee
Beautiful mountain views
All together
We hiked back down to the Agora
You could really picture how beautiful the colonnaded streets must have been
We discovered some cool tombs, cut into the rock face
Hadrians Temple
The end of a pretty cool hike...
