A Short Visit To Turkey Part Six: Pamukkale To Fethiye Via Aphrodisias, 15 November 1995

Not yet sated with antiquities, we diverted to Aphrodisias ahead of driving to Fethiye for a bit of seaside towards the end of our trip.

We popped in to the Aphrodisias Museum before touring the site
You can just make out a tiny me in the theatre (above) and the odeum (below)

The highlight of Aphrodisias, for me, was the exceptionally well-preserved stadium – see picture below and headline picture.

Janie was probably a bit “antiquitied -out” by the time we got to Aphrodisias, but that was OK because we were done with antiquities for this holiday. It was seaside from then on.

We hit the road from Aphrodisias to Fethiye

We weren’t going to make the same “arrive after dark mistake again and got to Fethiye in good time.

We found a comfortable, simple place to stay and an equally comfortable, simple place to eat tasty Turkish grub.

You can probably tell from these pictures that Fethiye – indeed the whole of that Aegean coast, was not exactly busy in November.

All the pictures from that holiday (just one or two from Aphrodisias and Fethiye are not shown in this piece) can be viewed on Flickr – click here or below.
