My latest travelogue – Pinara in ancient Lycia

My latest travelogue is Pinara in ancient Lycia. 
Pinara is famous for its rock tombs – thousands of them cut into the surrounding landscape – many of which are on a vertical rock face and appear impossible not only to reach but to carve into the hillside.
It’s now just passed the first anniversary since I returned from Turkey and this project has taken much longer than I expected.
These travelogues become more difficult with each one and Pinara, yet again an ancient city with very little historical data available, has been a real headache. Thankfully there is light at the end of the tunnel with the final three Turkey travelogues – they are all fairly straightforward in comparison with recent ones. Famous last words…
