A large earthquake in the 2nd century AD caused this Lycean port city to sink into the Mediterranean sea. Many of the buildings are submerged underwater as are the foundations of the old harbor.
Turkey is at the crossroads of the Middle East and Europe, to this day its unique geographic position has brought with it tremendous conflict. It has been occupied by such diverse civilizations as the Hittites, the Trojans, Lyceans, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantine and Ottomans, finally leading to the establishment of the modern Turkish state. In the wake of these periods of occupation, architecture from each has been deposited throughout the country.

thanks mark.. nice route you have been taking on turkish med. and aegean coast.. when i was a kid, we would take week long fishing and snorkeling trips around kekova. tiny islands with buildings on them.. just beautiful. in early 70's there were no roads to get around that area and even turkish people didn't know about those places except the locals.
