As we are walking around in the old town of Antalya you will see Kesik Minaret Mosque (broken Minaret) and the ruined mosque beside it was transformed from Byzantine Church by Seljuks. At the far end of the city is Hidirlik Tower which is situated on the sea front with magnificent views of all over the city, the gulf of Antalya, and also the rugged Taurus Mountains.

As the day starts to close in we will make our last stop to visit the Seljuk bridge that goes over Koprucay (Eurymedon) and dates from the 13’th century AD, this bridge is still used to this day, and it was this bridge that replaced a 2C Roman bridge, whose ruins may be seen in the river-bed a few metres to the North. A tentative reconstruction of the 5m wide Roman bridge, whose central span was 9m above the water so it shows that large sea going ships could have passed underneath it on their way to the docks. In relation to its Seljuk successor it was a veritable giants.
