I felt very stupid when approaching Karataş in the dolmuş. In my hometown Amsterdam I had been advised to pay it a visit, and only during the last kilometer I realized I’d done precisely that a year earlier. I decided not to visit the classical city, as it is miles from the centre, and would probably show hardly any extensions of the excavations. So I just strolled along the coast, enjoying some new sights, and then back to Adana.
One of the old style houses, rapidly being dwarfed by the new apartment blocks.
