PATARA |
 |
| At about 10 km. beyond Kalkan on the Kalkan-Fethiye
highway you turn south and continue 10 km. along the road to
Patara. The painted ceramics found in the acropolis prove
that the city existed in the 5th century B.C. Patara opened
its doors to Alexander the Great, thereby earning the status
of an important harbor city, in addition to having been the
birthplace of St. Nicholas. The triple gateway through which
one enters Patara is thought to have been built in 100 A.D.
One of its most important edifices is its theatre which is
now buried in sand. |
