TERMESSOS
Theatre

Termessos, Turkey

While location of Termessos' theatre is clearly one of Turkey's finest and most dramatic. The climb up here, makes the theatre appear as the final reward for the sweat Termessos demands of its visitors.
The theatre is largely Greek in style, while the stage is a later addition and built according to Roman designs. Far from one of the largest, it was still large enough to seat 4200 spectators.
