Two harbours - one military and one commercial - dating from Roman times. Large area where you can wander freely looking at the way ancient buildings were laid out. Beautiful sea. Not crowded.

It's a real adventure to wander round the overgrown ruins (not the best maintained of sites, but that's sort of its charm) and the setting on the south-westernmost point of Turkey is magnificent.

The city, architecture of city plan and view from lighthouse all awesome. Cons: Food prices over average. Enjoy the history on peninsula between Agean Sea... More
