Today we are going to visit Lyrbe (Seleukia) @Haliscelife

Today we are going to visit Lyrbe /Manavgat-Antalya. Lyrbe (Seleukia) is equipped with the best preserved agora (market place) in Asia Minor. The city is difficult to access and spared from modern settlement, around 23 km north of Side in the middle of a dense pine forest. Recent research suggests that the ruins are around a city called Lyrbe, and not, as long thought, the Seleukia in Pamphylia. To come to Lyrbe (Seleukia): A few kilometers after the large waterfall, a signposted road leads left to Lyrbe (Seleukia). After about 1 km you will reach the village of Bucakşeyhler. In the village keep to the right, at the mosque also to the right. The formerly unpaved road to the ruins, which was hardly passable after rainfall, is now paved up to the parking lot below the city gates. The city lies on a hill that is now wooded and protected on three sides by steep slopes.
