Myra Rock Tombs

February 4
The tombs are located in the mountainside and represent a two-hundred-meter wall consisting of large stone blocks with tombs. All of them have different shapes, but they must have window and door openings.
This custom of burying the bodies of the dead in such tombs is based on the beliefs of the Lycians. They believed that after the soul leaves the body, it rushes high into the heavens, and to help it in this, such high tombs were erected. The higher the tomb is located, the richer and more noble a person was during his lifetime.
Many Lycian tombs are about two thousand years old.

It's impressive. Even a slightly creepy place is a crypt in the mountains for the nobility, military, rich and able to afford ordinary Lycians, it turns out to be a kind of city of the dead in the mountains. Over time, the facades of the tombs are destroyed by the winds. If you believe the historians, there were burials of more than one generation. Excursions and passage are paid. Nearby there are Parking spaces, toilets, cafes.

It's beautiful, it breathes history. But the price for just looking seemed high to me. I got in the car, drove in the direction of Antalya for 10 minutes, and lo and behold - the same tombs are in abundance along the road, and absolutely free!

We arrived in the evening, there were almost no people! The sun had already hidden behind the mountain, so it was nice to walk, it wasn't hot. We walked around everything slowly for half an hour, sat, took pictures…
Tourists 300 lira / person, of course it is not worth it (but we are no longer surprised by the Turkish prices).
But we liked it! The heat and the crowds would spoil the impression!

Beautiful view, but a small area, taking into account the cost of passage

The attraction, perfectly preserved, is more ancient than the amphitheater standing next to it. Why people arranged their dead in such a way can only be guessed.

My wife liked it, but for me it's like this - "refined", "restored" especially for tourists is not a very big place for a "horse" price tag. If you walk along the same Lycian, you will see a lot of ruins for so)) And access to these very tombs is still closed. It was especially annoying that after the turnstile, if you need to go to the toilet, you need to go out, then restore the ticket to the ticket office again to go in. Nonsense.
