From Söğüt to Taşlıca

The distance from Söğüt to Taşlıca is approximately five kilometres. Your vehicle may have difficulty travelling on the stabilised road. The ruins of the ancient city of Phoinix, a Carain settlement, are four kilometres from Taşlıca. On the way from the village to the ancient city, on what may have been an ancient path, you come across tombs from the ancient era. Almost half way between Taşlıca and Asar Hill, there is Phoinix’s agora. When you climb up the hill there is a quite well preserved building and after that comes the necropolis (tombs). The acropolis of the city is on the top of Asar Hill. On the hilltop, far more than the ruins, the view gets your attention. You can see the sea, the village of Taşlıca, and the collapsing houses of the village of Sindili that was evacuated and the people moved to Taşlıca. To the south west, approximately six kilometres away and near to the port of Serçe, there is the Aziziye district that is linked to Taşlıca.
