Olympos

While in Adrasan, we spent the day roaming the ancient city of Olympos. 

Olympos is what Big Sur would look like if you dropped 2000 year old castles and ruins down into it. 

Some of the city dates back as far as 200 BC.  Remaining ruins include a castle, many sarcophagi, churches, homes, hamams, and a theater.

 It boasts residents and visitors such as Marcus Aurelius, Cicero, and Julius Caesar. 

Most of the sarcophagi were built for Marcus Aurelius and his family.  Signs translated the carvings on the side, which warned, "These graves were built by me for my family.  Anyone who dares to use these graves will be subject to a fine of 1000 Durum at the gates to heaven."  Yea.  Take that grave robbers!

Once we made it through all of the fantastic ruins we headed to the beach.  Picture perfect.
