Golden Stone, Silver Water
The Romans built hundreds of miles of aqueducts in Anatolia, not to mention hundreds of theaters, baths, agoras and colonnaded streets.
This fragment of aqueduct is at Phaselis, once a thriving Mediterranean port for the shipment of rose oil used in perfumes.
Not far from Olimpos on the coast south of Antalya, Phaselis today is anational park where this picturesque Roman remnant catches the late afternoon light beneath shady pines.
