    Aperlai is a ancient city on the edge of the Mediterranean see. The city is accessed by boat with daily boat trips heading out from the nearby city of Kas. The ancient city extends down into the sea with re remains of houses and lighthouse. Where else in the world can you jump off your boat and swim among the ancient ruins! You can also venture onto the land and explore the houses factories and tombs. Because of its location the area is totally unspoilt with limited numbers of visitors. The water is clear and warm with shelter provided by the headland. Yet again Turkey demonstrates it’s rich history and extensive archaeological treasures.

    Located on the Lycian train, this wonderful is a must see. You will walk through Lycian ruins, including numerous tombs. There is a camp site and a cafe/ restaurant/ pensiyon closehe site, adjacent to the sea. Great spot to go for a swim and spend the night!

    One of the best routes on the Lycian Way. Don't forget to carry enough water if you're trekking during the summer months. Be careful if you're coming down from Kilincli village, as some part of this route covered with sharp rocks. And don't forget to take your aqua shoes with you if you want to swim there.

    Tekne turuna katılırsanız kesinlikle göreceğiniz antik bir kent, kalıntıları denizin altında da olan. Burada yüme molası verilmemektedir haklı olunarak elbette. Yukarıdan izlemesi de oldukça keyifli. Görmek yeterli geliyor sanırım.

    if you are ready to walk, this place is waiting for you. You can not ride this place. One of the place on Lycian Path.

    Lots to see :-)

    Awesome view of the surrounding area. The poor buggas that lived there would've been bloody cold come winter time.

    Interesting ruins. No guided tour there, so prepare for one on your own :)

👍👍 If you love UNESCO sites, then this one is for you. It’s right off a main roadway and is a very large area. Most of the area is in a ruin state, minus some of the tombs and gladiator arena. There are very few signs detailing what each place is, but additional information can be found online. Be prep...

👍👍 The entrance during our visit was slightly concealed by overgrowth. It's between two apartment blocks with a yellow sign showing the way. When you reach the first tomb you can either head left or right and each direction takes you to more tombs. The trick is to follow the white electricity cables fo...
