There is only one wall left
From a once beautiful creation
But even now, through all the years
We are amazed at the skills
Millennial masters
Which were turned from stone
A magnificent monastery
And they dedicated it to Fekla
The remains of the church are fenced and guarded. I honestly thought that I would have to pay for the visit, but the watchman just said in English about the water storage and opened the door to the dungeon. I didn't think there was a light in the cave. In general, it was interesting to see.
Good day! I liked the place as a whole. I want to tell you how we got there by public transport, because I did not find such information on the Internet. For those who are not driving. Minibus number 2 runs from Silifke bus station. The bus stop is located directly in front of the bus station. Dolmush walks relatively rarely, we waited at least 40 minutes. It takes 15-20 minutes to drive. It's hard to walk uphill in the heat, and the minibus takes you directly to the attraction. There you can watch and take pictures for 30 minutes. Get back on the same turn. There is a building there, in the shade of the canopy of which it is quite tolerable to wait for dolmush.
The place is interesting, mysterious, steeped in history. Suitable for walking. You take the rucksack and hit the road.

At least something has been preserved. Of course, there can be no talk of restoration and recreation. But at least this way. The place certainly feels that it is not simple, the whole land of Turkey (former Byzantium) is holy, trodden by the feet of the first Christian martyrs and watered with their blood.
