	Lycian Turkey - Ancient Lycian Site of Tlos
		It is one of the oldest and largest settlements of Lycia (known as 'Tlawa' in Lycian inscriptions) and was eventually inhabited by Ottoman Turks, one of the few Lycian cities to continue it existance through the 19th century.
		Since early Lycian times, the city's settlement was probably concenrated on the southern and western slopes, for wide terraces with huge cisterns and the back walls of buildings carved from the rock are found there.
		Punished by the Lycian king Iobates for an improper love affair, Bellerophon was sent to kill the Chimaera, a fire-breathing monster.

		Despite a steep geography that sharply divides the land into river valleys, coastal plains and upland basins, despite the invasions of larger powers and despite the occasional rise of individual tyrants, the Lycian system of representative government was remarkably effective in maintaining Lycian autonomy during the troubled years of the Late Hellenistic period.
		In the last two decades we have seen a renaissance in Lycian studies: in archaeological fieldwork, which is providing new evidence for settlement patterns, chronological and artifactual classification, and occasionally new epigraphic documents.
		Lycian archaeology is still very much in its infancy, though it is presently a growth area for Turkish and foriegn archaeologists.

		The Lycian Way is an award-winning project, a 500 km waymarked footpath around the coast of Lycia in southern Turkey, from Fethiye to Antalya.
		Thankfully these are isolated cases and not a way of life for the vast majority of the village residents who do care for their animals.
		It all boils down to respecting other people, their hospitality and their way of life and, in Cavus particularly, it is a very different way of life, especially for the women.

		The most famous is the Lycian Way - it takes almost three weeks to complete the whole walk, but you can break it down into more manageable one- or two-day trips that take in highlights such as Nine Lakes Mountain, Mount Olympos and various ancient ruins.
		Swimming and diving are banned near the site, so the best way to get close up is in a sea kayak, which also gives you access to the small beaches that are hard to get to with bigger boats.
		One of the most enchanting is at Patara, a rambling Lycian port with an amphitheatre, magnificent stone gates, a collection of funeral caskets and a town square.

		The real attraction of the Med is the way the layers of history and myth blend together beside those turquoise waters.
		Weigh anchor at the island monastery of the medieval Saint Nicholas (known to Turks as Baba Noel); hike to the ruins of a Roman gladiatorial arena, now filled with sand, and pay your respects at the village of Olympos, where its natural gas jets, shooting blue flames from the earth, were once considered sacred.
		The ideal way to appreciate this fact is from a kayak, and most spectacularly in the island's southeast, where minuscule sand coves lie beneath sheer granite cliffs and the waters are a lurid emerald green, so clear you can follow the kayak's shadow torpedoing along the ocean floor 10m below.

		The Lycian Way is Turkey’s only long-distance footpath, stretching over 400km from the popular resort of Ovacik to near the Mediterranean city of Antalya, passing through the seaside towns of Kalkan, Kas and Finike, as well as many ancient sites.
		The Lycian peninsula which gives the route its name is a land of soaring limestone peaks, sheer cliffs, deep valleys and secluded coves; a dramatic landscape softened in places by fertile stretches of coastal plain and sandy beach.
		If walking the Lycian Way, sunbathing, and visiting the fishing towns, villages and ancient sites in the region do not suffice, activities on and around the route include sailing and windsurfing, swimming and diving, sea kayaking and paragliding, rock climbing, canyoning and, in season, downhill and touring skiing.
