The ancient Roman theatre, impressively preserved and perched on a hillside, was the highlight of our exploration. Its scale and design left us speechless\u2014it truly felt like stepping back in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After spending nearly five hours at the site, we exited the park and headed to our hotel for the night\u2014Hotel Bellamaritimo. Just under a kilometer from the entrance, the hotel was a cozy gem run by a warm and welcoming Turkish family. Their hospitality stood out, and their traditional breakfast the next morning was hands down the best we had during our entire trip across Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were especially thrilled with the vegetarian options, which made it a memorable meal for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
