David von Oheimb's Photo Gallery: Lycia (Teke Peninsula), Turkey, 28 - 30 Mar 2006

See also my photos of 2011.
 
When I went to Lycia for the first time, it was essentially just to see the solar eclipse of 2006 under pretty optimal conditions. If I had known what a wonderful place this is, I would have booked for much more than just three days.
