The Turquoise Coast, Along the Lycian Way Part II - Dr Christopher Tuttle

For some 2,000 years, the ancient Lycian people controlled a huge area along a 1,000 km stretch of the southwestern coast of Asia Minor. During their long history, they built complex city-states, developed a distinct form of democracy, evolved unique art and architecture, controlled their region of the sea, and even became feared pirates. In this two-part series, we will explore the fascinating history of the Lycian culture and explore the ruins of some of their once-great cities and those of some of their neighbours, such as Arykanda, Sagalassos and Termessos. https://www.asatours.com.au/
