Lost Ancient Cities in Turkey! Letoon and Xanthos Exploration

- On the way from Kaş to Ölüdeniz, I decided to stop for tea and at the same time visit the ancient settlement of Ksantos as well as Letoon.
The current settlement of the ancient majestic Ksantos (one of the three most important cities of the Lycian state) is a village and we were not even able to find tea there, we passed Ksantos itself because there was no sign.
But there were signs to Letoon, another ancient city from the time of Lycia. We drove to Letoon with very little hope to still drink tea. Letoon greeted us with a standard amphitheater and a ticket office, I didn't even really want to go in because I had already seen amphitheaters in my life.
The cashier was a typical Turkish gentleman.
Since he was the only local here, I stood on the threshold of his small "office" in the yard, where he was preparing for lunch, and asked where to find a restaurant to drink tea or coffee.
The gentleman looked at me in surprise and said, "Nowhere, we don't have a restaurant."
And then he adds -
"Do you want me to make you tea?"
"Of course I do," I replied.
I am always very moved by such unexpected offers of hospitality.
Grandpa takes some dried grass, pours boiling water over it, takes a chair from somewhere and shows me to sit down.
I sat down and began to smell the grass, but never realized what it was. The gentleman explained in Turkish, but my knowledge is clearly not enough to communicate.
I sit, taste tea, call friends, ask for more tea because it's delicious. Gentleman sincerely offers his lunch, but of course I refused.
The tea was memorable for a lifetime - fragrant, unusual, and with oregano :)))
And Letoon will forever be remembered for its incredible aftertaste, one of the best-preserved temples in the world, and the energy you can only feel.
Ancient cities rarely give me emotions, because I love stories and feelings, not stones.
After that we found Ksantos and explored the ancient site during lunchtime.
Later we continued our way to Ölüdeniz with a stop for luck at the Lycian path.
