But were amazed at this old place, others have described it better than I can but if you like old ruins and a good view you'll be stunned at this place. Don't miss it if you get a chance! Only 5L to get inside the fence (it's not all fenced) and amazingly you can walk all round and climb to... More

The ruins are amazing but the view of the surrounding countryside is outstanding. The only downside was the weather --heavy rain spoiled what could have been a good trip. It would have been nice to climb to the mountainside castle. If you go wear suitable footwear.

Breathtaking situation in picturesque Xanthos valley. Quite a climb and great care needs to be taken.

If, like me, you're a history nerd then this is a must see, especially if you don't want to make the long trip to Ephesus. The tour guides know their stuff and very enthusiastic to answer any questions you have. If you can make the visit on your own then you can easily spend an entire day here.

On a clear day, the views across the valley to a ring of snow-capped mountain on every side are breathtaking.

We visited this ancient site in late November and marveled that we were the only ones there and had it all to ourselves. Spread over a large area, you can walk to the top of the highest buildings and see the layout of the entire city before you. Amazing to think it still exists in this form thousands of years... More
