Let's go back in time, back to 11th century BC. Once an importance settlement in the antiquity, this sun-baked city has had the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Byzantines lie claim on time and again. Today, it sits in a different country to the one it was built on, a new country born just last century. The whistles of legends still hang heavily on the lemony breeze in these ruins of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world where visitors can still see the crumbling remains of a 25,000-seat theatre, marketplace, library, temples, baths and gymnasium.
