The ruins of the palace are located at the top of the mountain at an altitude of 60 m. In terms of the palace, it was an arc. From the height of the hill, you can enjoy a stunning view of the surroundings: far below is the city of Phaselis, a parking lot, and the most beautiful azure coves... There is a sinkhole near the walls of the palace - in ancient times there was a secret descent into the city or a well (be careful not to fall in there!). Not far from the palace there is a secret staircase leading down. Try to find an entrance to it. This is a quest. Three times, knowing what it looked like, I did not immediately find this entrance. The ancients knew how to mask secret entrances! And what a gorgeous gate with an arch leads to the stairs along the edge of the cliff! Earlier in ancient times, there must have been an iron grating that could go down and up, blocking the exit to the stairs and the entrance to the fortress: there are guides for the grating on the right and left, and a narrow opening for it.

A picturesque place! Thanks to previous reviews, we saved $20. Indeed, if you enter the ancient Phaseliz from Paradise Bay, you do not need to buy a ticket. Besides, we got safely to Olympus Teleferik from there. We rode the cable car ($46 per person). If you decide to dedicate a day to this region, it is possible to capture two amazing locations. At the turn to the cable car, there is a transfer for 200 lira per person (up to 7 km) in a comfortable minibus.
