Adamkayalar (Men of Rock) - 31 August 2020

    Men of Rock are Roman tomb reliefs dated back to the 2nd century AD. They are located in the valley locally known as Şeytan Deresi some 5 km northwest of Korykos (Kızkalesi). It's a place of great natural beauty and the atmosphere of mystery. If physically you are in a good shape you must see it. The path goes steeply down, and you need to measure every step you take what only adds to the Indiana Jones like experience!
