The journey continued from Anamur in the direction of Antalya. First we visited an old town on the coast near Anamur. The ruins of the city were eaten up quite dramatically by the sea and it was quite clear how it was here 3000 years ago. The entrance fee here was only 2€ and there was no one else on the huge site. Later we were to pay over 20€ for quite pointless stuff. We stopped briefly to have lunch. There was fresh grilled fish and rice. The ride continued at ruins at a small bay. Here someone must have built a villa 2000 years ago which is still clearly recognizable today. Near Antalya we visited another ruined city on a mountain.
