Cappadocia/Konya/Antalya. ---
This morning visited the 13th century Caravanserai of Agzikarahan (Caravan Palace), a complex of structures built on the Silk Road, whose main portal gate is considered a fine example of Turkish Seljuk art. During the Seljuk period, trade flourished, requiring roads for caravan transport and inns for the traveling traders and their camels. Continued journey by road via Konya, passing through lush forests, orchards and olive groves on the sloping hills downward to the splendid Mediterrannean Sea.
