Had an awesome ride up in the mountains where some beautiful ruins were waiting for me This place had it all!!! Amphitheater ️ Senate House ️ Hypnodrome ️ Ancient Roman bath house ️ Mosaic marble floor with Medusa's head in it..... Not checked This marble floor used to be in the music hall that was also used as a house for the Senate in the winter months.... Today there is a gravel floor where this mosaic masterpiece used to lie......... Unbeknownst to me this floor was covered up through the winter months to protect against the weather I was really let down because I had heard some really great stories about how beautiful this floor was and how unique it made this particular set of ruins compared to really any other locations here in Turkey... This is the Medusa's head that got away

Spread over a large area on three hilltops kibyra was impressive with many of the amenities a city can offer including an underground sewage and fresh water network, handsome looking main street traversing from the bottom of the hill to the top, a stadium to cheer for the events, tombs above and below ground and the music hall with a beautiful mosaic for the crowds to be inspired for millennia. Agora at the top is adorned by a beautiful rotund water fountain. Inspirational city design, exquisite workmanship, arts and sports complement the daily living. What else do you need?
Great pisidian city
Look Medusa in the eye before she turns you into the stone! Underrated, recently developing site. The mosaics in bouleterion are amazing! Get on the top of the theatre and watch the view.
Yet another AMAZING historical site to visit in Turkey. In addition to an incredible stadium, Kibrya's specialty is its mosaics. This culminates in the moment when you lock eyes with Medusa... hopefully you won't turn to stone!
Amazing .so well preserved. Very hot but virtually deserted
It was supposively 4 times bigger than the town under the mountain
A big ancient city established on three hills. In ancient time it was an important city in regional politics and I heart its population was reached to 60 thousand in its golden age. Odeion (also served as city council) of the city is magnificient that must be seen where Medusa head was still under stage ground for protection. There are ongoing archological digging going here and more to be seen and presented in coming years I hope.
