On a height of 1.250 m in the midst of the Taurusgebirges are the remnants of the antique city Selge, which is today at the same time part of the village Zerk in the settlement area Altınkaya. The area with deep ravine, small Wasserfällen and beautifulnesses of the mountain world, lying within Kiefernbewaldung, is ideal for photo photographs. The name of Selge is probably derived from Salaga, which in luwischer/etruskischer language “deep valley” blow. After göktürkischer/turkmenischer way of writing blow Selge Suoluðu (“Wasserrinne”). One reaches the city by means of the 2 m broad bridge Moka, which consists of a rough sheet of stone blocks. The hititischen inscriptions explain that the area was in former times in the area of Pithassa/Pisidien. The urban population famous for its war art and heroism fought in the Trojan war at the side of the Trojan king Hektor, brought thereby some cities under tax liability and served later than paid mercenaries for the Persian Besetzer. The most important historical event for the city was the war with the city Pednelissos lain in the north, whereupon its Krieger had to withdraw themselves and recognise heaviest editions. Later they allied themselves with king Amintas of the people of the Galater, which belonged like them to the celtic peoples, but to each time they spoke their own language and retained them in such a way. In the Byzantine epoch the Vikinger belonging to the Byzantine army had lost itself, into the environment of Selge had fled its war against their rule raised, against Byzanz and had smeared thereby their traces. Because in the course of the time that was rerouted the internal Anatolien with the coastal strip by Pamphylien over country connecting trade route over Kremna and Ariassos, and due to plunderings fall in love the population of Selge its city and pulled into the coastal towns. Selge was surrounded by Stadtmauern, and therein was a rough town-gate, on whose both pages of awake towers stood. The most important ruin is those of the theatre, which had within the lower range 30 and in upper 15 semicircular seat rows, which were connected with 12 steep stairs. The spectator range was subdivided in the centre of a broad Diazoma, over which from stone blocks were manufactured armchair. From the inscriptions it follows that here four years were delivered long matches and statues of the winners were set up there. Within the western range of the Gods remnants of a statue of the main God Zeus are and from it to dedicated temples and in the eastern part one this temple a statue of the anatolischen Männlichkeits and war God Sanda. In the lower part of the God range one sees a former cistern, which was used for collecting by rain water. In the east of the antique city stood the Agora with the Maben 50 x 50 m, which were bordered to the south openly and on the other three sides by columns of the business arranged next to each other. North lain the remnants 120 m are enough building for a Basilika from the Byzantine time are held. Because of the northernmost point was the Nekropolis, in whose part present on the north slope still three rough burial places are visible.

This area developed in a time of, flooding rains developing following tectonic developments after the ice age and thus as consequence of the washing country, which the rivers had angespült. From this time hills stayed, which solidified themselves up to 100 m highly, of gravel and sand to be consisted, today as a conglomerate designated and with Pinienwäldern and Gestrupp bewachsen are. Fliebenden waters continued with the time toward sea, meanwhile them far washing countries anspülten, and as consequence of it the sand hills remain within the level and ever further from the sea. Due to these enormous washing ashore of the rivers oblong developed, from sand and gravel existing hill backs and deposit strip in the last phase of the replenishment process along the coast. Therefore the rivers, which were handicapped in their river thus and found no direct entrance more to the sea, formed toward the east and behind the hill backs running sheet, until they flowed then in the sea. In the north of the area near Gebiz the Uçansu of Wasserfalle (“itself evaporating Wasserfalle”) are and in the proximity of the village Akbaş the Zeytintaşı cave (olive stone cave) at the settlement area, which is with their Stalaktiten and Stalagmiten beautiful and very fascinating. Behind the coastal strip of the area around Belek the place Kadriye with numerous holiday areas, purchase possibilities and any kind of tourist activities lies. At the beaches of Kemerağzı, Belek and Serik are the most modern tourism plants. The proclamation and marketing of these holiday areas on highest, international level are made by the together created federation of the plants with names BETÜYAP. Also the Pinienwälder of the environment grown closely offers a particularly beautiful sight. Further the area has six gulf clubs with 19-Loch-Plätzen on international level and pertinent hotels.

The locality BELDIBI belonging to Kemer is 25 km west of the city centre Antalyas in an area, which belongs today to the Olympos and Bey of mountains coastal national park. Akyarlar extends 4,000 Dönüm over a rough, narrow level of the rice point of land until. In the east of the level the mountains with their steep rock drop as into an abyss in the sea. Until before 150 years the area was completely wooded with oaks. At first here only three families lived, but people pulled later from Anamur in addition, and the place was tied up to the municipality Kemer. Over the lake equal beside the Kocasu source the remnants of the antique city Marma are on a closely wooded area from 30 to 40 Dönüm. A part of the ruins is on an enormous Felsblock because of a tendency. Since no excavations were accomplished here, one knows not very much about this old city. That acquaintance is only that her because of plunderings when desired the inhabitant of Phaselis on the part of Alexander the rough one, that in the 3rd Jhd. v. Chr. the winter in Phaselis had spent, one had punished. 1973 got the place a local chief, and 1994 it became a locality of the municipality Kemer. The landscape consists of Zitrusfrüchtefeldern, walking ways, picknick places, holiday areas and shopping centres and transformed thereby to one the important tourist centre. The scattered locality GÖYNÜK is appropriate in, a semicircular level which is enough from Beldibi until Kemer. At the edge to Kemer is the recreation park for Tagesausflügler Kındıl Çeşme with sandiger bath bay. The name of Göynük in luwischer/etruskischer language was Gökbük, which ” fruitful level at the point of the river bank, where it zusammenstöbt” with the blue sky; blow. Thus the Göynük seems level with exact view with the Himmelsgewölbe verwoben to be. In the north of the area the Eski Yol (“old way”) runs way mentioned and antique, which connected Göynük with Pisidien and the old cities of term Esso and Attelia. In the antique one the river valley Göynük had rough meaning at each time, therefore it remained also under control of the pillaging, pisidischen population. The commercial travellers coming down from the mountains followed the coast toward the west after Phaselis and toward the east to the level of Attelia. Toward end of the 11. Jhd. n. Chr. revived turkmenische Nomaden this way for its descent to the coast and loves themselves in the level Cuma and the Almen of Altınyaka down. Later they created, the small locality eingemeindete today in Kemer. Today holiday areas with international standard at the beaches of Göynük stand. The migrations, which are offered for the river valley by Göynük, are particularly worth mentioning. A broad ravine appears very mysterious to 350 m high and 6 m thereby. After 40 km of the city centre Antalyas one reaches IDYROS, the today’s Kemer. This place lies at the bay of the same name and in the Ebeme likewise with same name, which extends up to the Taurusgebirge. In the environment 251 different kinds of flower grow. After mythologischen narrations the Unsterblichkeits Wasserquelle on the promontory at the southwest point of the bay of Kemer is to be, on which also the river Ağva runs. In the luwischen language blow the area Abaawa, which can be translated with “holy source of water”. This name transformed later in the phonetic discussion of the turkmenischen Nomaden into Ağva. The history of this area is enough until thousands of years before Christ birth. According to luwischer myths enjoyed a daily the main God Adra (or with other names Toro and Tauros), which the symbol for maleness was and a bull head had, at the play of a dolphin swimming in the sea and jumped it of the Tahtalı mountain out after in the sea. It swam behind that multicolored schillernden dolphin and arrived in such a way up to the beach, at which the Çalış mountain drops steeply in the sea. Here Adra found the Unsterblichkeitsquelle, drank from their water and attained thereby eternal immortality. Basing on this myth the Luwier established Adrawana, which “country of the Adra, man of the mother goddess” blow beside the Unsterblichkeitsquelle a temple with the name, holy at the bay of Kemer. Alexander the rough one was very impressive by this holy temple and the myth around Adra, so that he expressed the name of the temple with the phonetics of the Hellenistic language as Idyros. Macedonian stories researchers adapted as soon as possible a version of this myth to Alexander the rough one. Therefore wanted the cook of Alexander the rough one, which caught Andrea blow, fish in the pan to roast, however a fish so in the pan on too zappeln that he could jump in the sea and swim of it. The cook jumped immediately afterwards in the water, reached the Unsterblichkeitsquelle and attained likewise eternal immortality. The myth around Adra was adapted constantly to the circumstances of the respective time, however never lost its.
