I must apologize for this noisy video; it was so windy, nothing would have helped the sound quality. The Lycian Way hike continued from the Roman Aqueduct over the hills and down to the ruins of Patara.
The ancient city of Patara is one of the oldest and most important cities of Lycia. According to Hittite writings from the Thirteenth Century B.C., it was called "Patar" and was the only place on the Xanthos valley with access to the sea which became silted up through centuries.
Later ruled by Rome, visitors can walk around the interestings ruins of tombs, baths, theaters, cisterns and more, each with detailed boards giving information. However, I was on a hunt for the brothel; every self-respecting Roman city had a brothel, indicated by the unmistakable phallic symbol "pointing" the way. At magnificent Ephesus, many symbols pointed the way from the sea to the brothel entrance. And yes, we did find the brothel!
