Main Stops: Olympos/Çıralı – Kaş – Dalyan About the Tour Operator: More and more people these days are demanding personal and meaningful vacations, rejecting large package tours to travel in small groups, with good companions.

They are considerate about their carbon footprint and they want to use the services of a local tour operator with environmental awareness. We have accomplished the task of combining these aspects in active and memorable trips. © Yūgen Earthside – All Rights Reserved – 2020 - 1 - DAY BY DAY ITINERARY Day 01: Arrive in Antalya Meet at the Antalya Airport and take a private minivan to be transported 1.5 hours away to Olympos Beach.

  • Historical Earthquakes Affecting Urban Life Along the Mediterranean Coast of Turkey, International Earthquake Symposium 22-24 October, 2007, P.31, Kocaeli
    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol.13 241-252 (2007) Traces of Historical earthquakes in the ancient city life at the Mediterranean region Tarihsel depremlerin Akdeniz Bölgesi antik kent yaşamındaki izleri T. Levent Erel1 and Fatih Adatepe2 1 İstanbul University, Hasan Ali Yücel Faculty of Education, Müşküle Sokak No.1 Vefa 34470 Istanbul/Turkey 2 İstanbul University, Institute of Marine Sciences and Management, Müşküle Sokak No.1 Vefa 34470 Istanbul/Turkey ________________________________________________________ Abstract During the historical periods, the Mediterranean region was divided in several areas, from west to east, the Carian (Menteşe), Lycian (Teke Peninsula), Pamphylia (Antalya Plain) and Cilician areas. Cilician was divided into the Mountains (Taşeli Peninsula) and Lowland Cilicia (Çukurova) regions. Further east behind the Amonos Mountains, Antiokheia (Antakya), was a completely seperate region. All these regions were shaken by numerous earthquakes produced by main fault systems from the Aegean Sea and Mediterranean. The major geological structures are Hellenic Trench, East Anatolian Fault, Ecemiş Fault and Dead Sea Fault in the region. Along with material destruction, earthquakes also result in tectonic rising of lands. This rising fills in ports and speeds up the process of ports getting shallow. Another negative consequence of earthquakes is the drying up of the water sources or the changing of their banks. Key words: Mediterranean coast, historical earthquakes, ancient cities Corresponding author: [email protected] 241 Introduction The coastal areas of Turkey neighboring the Mediterranean Sea have been subject to numerous destructive earthquakes. These earthquakes have largely given direction to certain historical events urban architecture and the way of the life of inhabitants.

  • The Drowning of Ancient Limyra (Southwestern Turkey) by Rising Ground- Water During Late Antiquity to Byzantine Times

Archaeological, geological, hydrochemical and surface elevation data, as well as 14C age dating constrain a paleo-hydrogeological model, explaining the submergence of the city foundation walls below the groundwater table. In this model, tectonically induced subsidence of the acropolis (Toçak Dağı) initiated a debris flow into the area of the lower city. Both, natural and anthropogenic gravel accumulation resulted in the formation of a new aquifer pathway redirecting formerly bypassing karst water into the city center. Consequently, the inhabitants of Limyra had to fight against the rising ground water table at least since the 6th to 10th centuries AD. Die antike Stadt Limyra war vom 6. Jh. v.Chr. bis zu byzantinischer Zeit ein bedeutendes urbanes Zentrum in Lykien an der süd- westlichen Küste von Kleinasien.

Sunday October 1st to Friday 6th 5 nights, 5 days – 1300TL Dear Parents, In the new academic year a field trip has been planned from Sunday 1st October to Friday 6th October during BISI’s traditional Trips Week. For Year 9, our current Year 8, the opportunity to visit Dalyan and Marmaris has been arranged. Both these coastal resort towns are in the Muğla Province of Aegean Turkey. It is, quite simply, a beautiful part of the country located approximately 600 kilometres south of Istanbul, and is a stopping-point for many of Turkey’s classical ruins, beautiful forest areas and unspoilt countryside. For those with an adventurous spirit it is an ideal place to enjoy some water adventure and plenty of outdoor activity. It is expected that all Year 9 students take part. The school will subsidise field trips, but a parental contribution of 1300TL per student is requested to cover the additional costs. We will be using the tour company POS Turizm, the same company we have used for other secondary field and ski trips for many years and the school’s travel agent of choice. I have worked with POS Turizm many times and have always been happy with their planning, safety, and good advice.
