The extensive ruins of
the Roman-Byzantine city now
called Kanlidivane are scattered across
a lofty hillside reached by a side
road east of Kizkalesi.
As you arrive at the ruins, you are
struck by theyawning chasm at
the center of the city, a huge limestone
sinkhole surrounded by the ruins of
ancient buildings.
Deep in the chasm, carved into the
living rock of its walls, are high
reliefs of a Roman
soldier and a group of people.
Farther up the hillside is an extensive necropolis with
some tombs in good condition, but all
tombs broken and robbed centuries ago.
Cool drinks, snacks and souvenirs
are sold in small shady shops by the
parking lot. A small admission fee
is charged to the ruins.
