HERACLEA

Heraclea, in the Aegean Region and with its splendid city wall and its fascinating
landscape, is one of the most impressive Anatolian ruins dating partly from Hellenistic
times. The site is easily accessible both from Lake Bafa and by land. Both in the
Hellenistic and Roman periods, the city flourished and its prosperity must have come
from sea-trade. Heraclea also blossomed during Early Christian and Byzantine times,
the small romantic islands situated in Lake Bafa bear well-preserved churches and
monasteries dating from the Early Christian and Byzantine periods...
