- Château de Chambord
A very symmetric Renaissance castle. Sorry, hunting lodge. - Kekova
Lycian town of Dolikhiste was destroyed in an earthquake in the second century AD. - Phaselis
Must have been a wonderful city. - Theatre in Phaselis
- Theatre in Phaselis
- Etrurian Temple of Belvedere
Remains of an old Etrurian Temple. A wonderful windy location at the top of the cliff. - Piazza Pianciani
- Palazzo Comunale
Now this was the highlight of my trip: climbing possibly the tiniest stairs I've ever seen. And I have climbed some dodgy towers in my life. - Palazzo Comunale
And the higher you go, the smaller they become. - Palazzo Comunale
I had to agree to so many terms and conditions before I was allowed to climb ;-) - Porta San Niccolò
Stone gate in fortification walls from 1324. The walls are gone now, but the entrance tower remains. - Château de Chambord
The double-spiral staircase in the centre of the castle. The castle is so wonderfully symmetric, it's quite easy to lose orientation. - Château de Chambord
The centre of the spiral staircase has a lantern at the top. - Château de Chambord
Am I repetitive with these pictures? Maybe. But the castle, pardon, the hunting lodge, is splendid. - Mont Saint-Michel
We planned the visit to avoid the crowds. But we didn't think it would be so empty on a Sunday afternoon.
