A Grand Tour of the Hatay

For one of our days off, I went with Cricket and Angie on a tour of the region surrounding Antakya. We went to nearly every possible tourist attraction in the area. Thanks Cricket and Angie for such a wonderful excursion! 

Our first stop was a 1500-year-old tree.

This woman sells fruit and grilled corn at the base of the tree.

Cricket shows us the Mediterranean.

Next we went to the Titus Tunnel, a marvel of Roman engineering designed to 
divert the nearby river and prevent silt from accumulating in the harbor.  


Near the tunnel is a series of tombs built into this cave.
