There, you might be lucky and find yourself completely alone, able to admire the fairly large, partially well-preserved complex, as here on 23.09.2008.

Thank you, Helmut. I am drawn to areas that are somewhat off the beaten tourist path, but still not complete wilderness.
Regards

Hello Hans-Gerd, these are the rare moments when you immediately know this could turn out well. Set up the tripod, attach the flash (otherwise the inside of the "window" would be hopelessly dark), and go. I had this image printed on canvas (with slightly subdued colors), even my wife likes it ;-))
Greetings from the Taunus

The citadel of Silifke, located over 100 meters above the town, displays details from several eras. On 24.09.2008, the structure could only be viewed from the outside, but even that was impressive.

If you follow the well-developed D715 from Silifke inland towards the Taurus Mountains, there are very few villages to pass through, like here on 23.09.2008 the small village of Kargicak (which has nothing to do with the place of the same name directly on the Mediterranean).

Silifke, a small town in the Mersin province in southern Turkey, is dominated by the Byzantine citadel. The Göksu River is probably always this green at this time of year (19.09.2008). In 1190, the river was still called Saleph; just a few kilometers upstream, Emperor Barbarossa drowned in these waters.

The interior of the Mädchenburg is freely accessible; you can swim the 400 meters from the beach. If you have photo equipment with you, you need to find someone to take you across by boat, which can be a bit complicated outside the high season (18.09.2008).
