Today we travelled from Konya to Antalya across the Taurus range, visiting Pisidian Antioch on the way.
Antioch was excavated in the early 20th century but not a lor has been done to restore it as yet. It holds a Temple to Caesar Augustus and a Church dedicated to Paul who preached one of his most developed evangelistic sermons to the Jews here.

The Taurus range is a rugged mountain range, so called because in winter the snow covered peaks resemble a herd of bulls.
Antalya is a beautful city set on the Mediterranean - a popular destination for tour groups from Europe and Russia Many of whom dress quite inappropriately for a country like Turkey.
