A salt breeze meets stone as the minibus hums along the Lycian coast and drops you into the shaded ruins of Phaselis. Olive-scented pines lean over three small bays; the sea keeps time with the sound of pebbles shifting on the shore. Walking Hadrian’s Gate and the partially intact theatre gives a sense of the town’s role as a Roman trading port carved into a rocky coastline.
