I used to group Kızkalesi and Elaiussa Sebaste some miles to its east in one sub-gallery of Silifke. In 2011 I took so many new pictures that I separated them. The pictures here are all from Elaiussa Sebaste which nowadays is called Ayaş. The University of Rome has been digging here and you can see a theatre, a former church, a Byzantine palace and a lot more. I walked from Kızkalesi to Ayaş through the hinterland, where there are a lot of mainly 6th century churches and a large graveyard. I group these rather arbitrarily: some I group with Kızkalesi, others with Ayaş. So you'd best check either gallery.

I will be busy transferring pictures and reorganizing things for some days.
