I really liked the ancient city of Sagalassos. Not as hyped as Ephesus, but there is something special, attractive. For example, the first rain-receiving grid in the ancient world, which is in the photo.:))
You can move around the territory on footpaths. Sometimes there are steep stairs. The observation decks offer scenic views of the surrounding area.
Perfectly preserved. A large area. Beautiful views. It's sparsely populated. It is cool in the heat (altitude 1000+ meters). Definitely worth a visit. I recommend
This is an indescribable delight!
Time has no control over this city.
Power and beauty!
I am very happy that I visited this place!
I recommend everyone to visit!
A great and still little-known place.
We went there from Isparta by public transport. It's still an adventure, so if possible, it's better to rent a car or take a taxi.
The museum itself is not only interesting ancient ruins with artificial waterfalls, but also a beautiful view of the valley.
So if possible, be sure to visit Sagalassos! There are still few tourists, entry is relatively inexpensive.
It is a very beautiful place where you can walk through the sparks of the old Roman city, founded after the conquests of Alexander the Great. The emperors Tiberius and Hadrian built this city. An amazingly beautiful place, location, silence around. Walking through the large territory of the ancient city, it is impossible to imagine how such grandiose buildings could be built in those days: a theater, a fountain, a square, baths and so on.
The city was destroyed by two earthquakes. The theater is very well preserved and the fountain is working.
Wear comfortable shoes, take water. There are few visitors, there is a cafe at the entrance.
The territory is quite large, the time of the walk will depend on your desire and interest.
The ticket price is 25 liras.
In a word, it's amazing, I've visited many ancient cities, but I've never seen anything like this... If you write down the ancient city of Sagalassos in a lonely location and set off, the navigation brings you from an unused mountain road, your vehicle may possibly come to harm... It is useful to write Let her Cry first and then follow the ancient city signs.
Probably the largest and most interesting ancient city, where few people get to. We drove all along the coast, Lycian tombs are generally a laugh in comparison. A large amphitheater on a hill, it turns out great photos. Below the statue and the spring, the columns are also cool.
In general, out of two weeks of vacation, one of the two places that left a really pleasant impression was on May and there were 6 tourists for the whole city.
It leads to a beautiful, humane old era. Especially the restoration of the corpses was very nice.polar mosaics are a separate pattern. Amphitheater should be organized for festivals may attract more interest. The rock tombs above should be visited.
An excellent place not yet exhausted by tourist groups, there is free parking, a toilet, a stall with a coffee machine and a souvenir. In September, the entrance fee was 170 lire per person. We wandered for 2 hours, very atmospheric. A ban on launching drones.
It's a very interesting place. I recommend it to all lovers of antiquity and ruins! We were on our own once, we didn't get around everything. In summer, you need to arrive early in the morning, it's better to be there at 8-9. At one o'clock in the afternoon we left – it was very hot, even in the mountains. Whoever has a kimlik, be sure to take it. You can buy a museum card on site.
A very interesting tour. All thanks to the guide. A lot of historical facts. A large amount of information and at the same time not tedious. Very satisfied!!!
The ancient city in the mountains is worth a visit. Beautiful views, a touch of the history of Antiquity. Dress warmly, there is a wind in the mountains.
Sagalassos is an ancient city whose stones remember Alexander the Great. The city that was the capital in 25 BC. The city where the Emperor Hadrian was praised.
