Kizkalesi

Kizkalesi is a beach resort area that is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from Adana. It is very popular with folks here.
We traveled a road about 8 km and then went onto a dirt road for about 2 km. We were looking for Roman reliefs. When we arrived a man came out of nowhere and said he would show us the reliefs (atleast that's what we thought he said - the language barrier can prove difficult at times). He led us between two rocks and this was the sight we laid our eyes on. The grass was so soft and fresh. You don't see a lot of really green grass around here. (And if you know my dad, you know where I got the appreciation of nice grass!)
He then led us down a path that looked like it went nowhere. After descending about 50 ft and not really being sure where we were going, we attempted to communicate to him that we were done, that it was no longer safe for our children. He wanted to take us further but we kindly refused and turned back up the hill.
Although we did not get to see the reliefs, we did get to behold the beauty of the mountains and the gorge. It was a remarkable sight. Maybe we will return some day for a picnic, and hopefully learn a little bit moer turkish before going back.
