About
Hızlı bilgiler: Walk among sun-warmed limestone where carved seating and quarry scars meet, the open-air ruins span several hectares of layered history. Guides often crouch to point out tiny graffiti and bell-shaped drill marks underfoot, and on windy days you can hear distant waves and a hollow, theatre-like echo.
Öne çıkanlar: Step into the ear-shaped cave and a single whisper ricochets into a booming echo, a curved chamber that local legend says allowed rulers to eavesdrop on prisoners. Warm late-afternoon light turns the limestone honey-gold and you can trace finger-polished hollows plus painted numerals, some markings people estimate are over 2,000 years old, making the stone feel surprisingly warm under your fingertips.
