Sillyon Antik Kent

No one there apart from us. Whole ancient city in ruins to be seen, much walking, at least 2 hour track. Must read sth before in the net, as i formation 9n place is scarce.

Silyon Ancient City 🏰🗼⛰

I like how you can just be riding around in the middle of nowhere here in Turkey and stumble across a random mountaintop castle 🤯

No signs. No guides. Not even a pin on Google Maps... Uuuuuntil now 💪😏🗺📍

I don't know much about the history of this place sadly but I can tell you it's amazingly beautiful overlooking the Mediterranean Sea! If I was a hopeless romantic it would be the perfect place for a sunset picnic with my future ex-wife 👩‍❤‍👨👎🍷🔥🥪🌅

I imagine back in the day this was one hell of a fortification. There's a beautiful lookout tower that is beginning to show its age. I imagine the almost endless amounts of earthquakes that come through this area have all taken their pound of flesh 🔪🥩 You can see a crack forming in the masonry on the east side of the watch tower. That must have been one brutal earthquake to move everything on top of this mountain that much 🤯 So brutal infact that you can even see the keystone in the doorway starting to let loose as gravity takes her never ending toll 🙈

The actual castle part of these ruins is still in pretty good shape relatively speaking 🤷‍♂ You can see the arched doorways as well as the multiple floors that made up this place originally 🤩

Absolutely incredible how much energy and effort went into building these structures way back when... Meanwhile today they lie just behind a random farmer's field... I actually parked my bike next to his house and said hi.... A bit perplexed by why I was actually there "to see these old rocks" as he so eloquently put it via Google translate on my phone. Muhammad the ole Turkish farmer with these amazing ruins as his backyard quickly invited me into his house for tea. Turkish people really are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet ☕🇹🇷💜

Nice hidden ancient city, it looks wild and like a part of the village, needs some care of municipality. take 2 hours to look around

Plato with ancient ruins
Difficulty level - medium.
Stunning views 360°

Once you find the road its a place of wonders. Half of amphitheatre collapsed with a mountain is overwhelmingly symbollic.
Around 40 min way up the mountain once you know the way. Took us around 2 hours wondering around to get up there. Watch your steps, there are halls in the grass.

It's was so nice here. Steap climb up to the top but lovely views once at the top, so great historical buildings from three different times...

The place is great but we met there a fat local man who offered us his services with guiding. We refused and he asked for a tip (bahşiş) "for a good beginning of the day". I did not accept that so he started to wish me bad and coursing... so shame! I know Turkish so I told him what I think of him. Be careful on that false guides. Take water and food with you, be careful on kids, there are very high walls and deep old wells, not secured

Visited couple times with my mom and my sister. A very nice point to chill and take pictures.

Beautiful ruins. Unmaintained, so it's better to have hiking boots if you're going on top of the plateau.

One of Turkey's most interesting sites. Here you can see an acropolis crumbling and the city tumbling over the cliff edges. Sad and fascinating at the same time.

One of the best sites. Was empty. Lots to see.

Fantastic outdoor adventure.

Good

Fantastic ruins

Tırmanışlı patikalar, bozuk zemin ve bakımsızlığa rağmen görülmesi gereken devasa bir antik kent olduğunu düşünüyorum. Yükseklere çıktıkça manzara güzelleşiyor. Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı burayı gözden çıkarmış olmalı ki ne bir otoparkı var, ne tahtadan merdivenleri var. Restorasyon çalışması göstermelik bence (anladınız siz onu). Gördüğünüz yıkıntılara ulaşmak için yolu kendiniz bulmalısınız. Bozuk zeminde ve uçurum kenarlarında dikkatli olmak gerekiyor. Tamamını gezmek istiyorsanız çantanıza mutlaka su ve yiyecek koyun. Dinlene dinlene, fotoğraf çeke çeke 4-5 saatinizi alır ama Sillyonu gördüm dersiniz.

Eylül 2023 itibariyle Stadyum ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılıyor. Yollar düzgün değil ve oldukça eğimi yüksek. İçerisinde bir de Osmanlı mesciti olması beni şaşırttı açıkçası. Tarihe meraklıysanız ve kondisyonunuz iyiyse gelin bence. Antik kentin hemen girişinde bir çeşme mevcut buradan su ihtiyacınızı giderebilirsiniz.

Uzaktan küçük bir yer gibi görünse de Sillyon Antik Kenti çok büyük. Dağın eteklerinden zirveye kadar patika yoldan çok keyifli yürüyüş oluyor. Dağın tepesi düzlük sayılır orada cami vb eserler var. Tarihi yerleri gezmeyi sevenlere Sillyon’a da gitmelerini tavsiye ederim

Cok mistik bir yer keşke biraz daha kazı yapılmış olsa ve kent biraz daha ayağa kalksa

Doğa yürüyüşü yaparak antik yapıları keşfetmek için çok güzel bir yer. Özellikle dağın tepesine çıkıp oradaki yapıları incelemenizi tavsiye ederim. Restorasyon çalışması ile çok güzel bir ören yerine dönüşeceğine eminim.

Als Fan alter Steine....

Gut, man muss gut zu Fuss sein. Aber dies vorausgesetzt, hat man viel zu sehen. Akropolis, Nekropole, Helinistischer Turm.

Überall ist der römische Einfluss sichtbar. Der sogenannte "Römerbeton" sorgt dafür, dass grosse Teile der Bauten heute noch stehen.

Wir haben uns durch das unwegsamen Gelände bis auf das Plateau hochgearbeitet.

Im Frühjahr alles begrünt. Da hätte auch genügend für eine Kräuterwanderung gestanden.

Ein super Erlebnis. Viele viele Bilder, die wir zu Hause am PC nochmal auf uns wirken lassen und mit Sicherheit wird es auch ein Fotoalbum geben.

Kann ich aus meiner Sicht nur empfehlen.
