This morning, dock in the Turkish port of Antalya. Travel by bus to the Aspendos theater, known for its outstanding acoustics. The extremely well preserved theater may be the best preserved in the ancient world. Nearby is Perga , a Hellenistic city where St. Paul and St.Barnabas preached. Pass through the same city gates as did St. Paul and St. Barnabas when they visited here on their first journey. Return to Antalya, whence St. Paul sailed to Antioch at the completion of the first missionary journey.

OLYMPOS and ÇIRALI

|
|
After passing Phaselis on the Kemer to Kumluca road you will see a sign for Çirali and Olympos. Çirali is the name of the small village near the ancient ruins of the port city of Olympos, which founded in the 2nd century BC was abondoned in the 6th century A.D. The myth of Bellerophontes slaying the Chimera is said to have taken place here. An hours walk up a steep path will bring you to the natural phenomenon of the Chimera. Dubbed the “burning mountain” by locals the flames you see escaping the ground are the result of natural gas emissions from beneath the earth’s crust.
