Exploring the Ancient City of Xanthos in Turkey was a remarkable experience! 🏛️ Located near the town of Kınık in the Antalya Province, the entrance fee was around 50 Turkish Lira. The site offers an impressive collection of ruins, including well-preserved tombs and monumental structures that give a glimpse into Lycian civilization. 🏺

The highlight was the dramatic views of the surrounding landscape from the ancient city walls. The intricate carvings on the tombs and the remnants of the theater were particularly captivating. 🎭

Nearby, the stunning Saklıkent Gorge provides a beautiful contrast with its lush scenery and cool waters, perfect for a refreshing visit after exploring the ruins. 🌲💧

Overall, Xanthos is a fascinating and relatively serene historical site that’s definitely worth the visit. #trip #xanthos #ancientruins #lycianhistory #turkeytravel #historicalsites
