(For the rest of the Route, see Rte. 42.)

The road lies along the sea-shore.

Alara, 8 h.; a village 2 or 3 m. from the sea, in a valley enclosed by woody hills. Near the village is a remarkable conical hill, with the ruins of a strong castle upon it in good preservation. It is said by the natives to have been built by the Sultan Alah-ed-din, of Iconium. The road proceeds 3 or 4 m. from the sea through fertile valleys, watered by several streams.

Hadji Ali Köi, 8 h.— The road crosses the river Menavgat 1 h. short of the town.

Menavgat, 4 h., situated in a fertile district. The price of a sheep here is about 12s.; 4 fowls for 1s. 6d. The road passes through deserted valleys.

Dashashekr, 6 h., situated on a rocky hill commanding a view of the sea. The great range of mountains is seen at a distance of 20 or 30 m. to the northward. The whole of this part of Pamphylia seems to be a succession of fine valleys, separated by ridges branching from the mountains, and each watered by a stream of greater or less magnitude. The traveller proceeds through a vast plain of rich pasture; 2 or 3 h. distant he crosses a large river by a bridge built upon the ruins of a magnificent ancient one, 1 arch of which forms part of the modern work.

Stavros, 6 h.--The road continues over the same kind of country, and crosses a rapid stream by a ferry. L. are some ruins, called by the Turks Eski Kalesi. The road passes thence over a more elevated level.

Adalia, 6 h.-(See Rite. 49.) The road passes over a region of rugged rocks, intersected with hollows full of water.

Bidgikli, 7h. — For 2 h. the road passes over the same plain, then ascends the mountain by a paved winding causeway. At the foot of it, in the plain, are the ruins of a castle, and of many towers and gateways of elegant architecture, with cornices, capitals, and fluted columns lying upon the ground. Sarcophagi, with their covers beside them, are seen in great numbers, as well in the plain as for a considerable distance up the side of the hill. Some of them were of large size, many with inscriptions. At the top of this formidable pass, which was anciently commanded by the city, standing at the foot of it, the road enters an elevated level surrounded with mountains, and proceeds along a winding valley amidst rocks and precipices, some of which, being quite detached and perpendicular, appear at a distance like castles and towers.

Karabunar Köi, 9 h. —1 h. hence is a khan, formed out of the remains of an old building, upon which angels are sculptured on each side of a large gateway. It appears to have been a ch. of the earliest ages of Christianity. The route continues through valleys similar to that at Karabunar Köi.

Butshuklu lies at a short distance. A river flows through the plain, which is also interspersed with villages surrounded by gardens. This district exhibits marks of great industry.

Tchaltigshi, 5½ h.—The road passes along the valley, then over a steep mountain, and then through a wild rocky valley; the town and lake of Buldur are not seen till the traveller finds himself close to them.

Buldur, 7½ h.; a large well-paved town, with some appearance of wealth. The houses are flat-roofed. Tanning and dyeing leather, and weaving and bleaching linen, are the principal occupations here.

The beautiful lake of Buldur, the water of which is slightly brackish, begins at a short distance from the town, and stretches N. and N.W., forming a beautiful picture. It is bounded on the W. and N.W. by picturesque and lofty mountains.

Ketsiburlu, 6 h.

Dombai, 5 h.

Sandukli, 7 h..

Sitshanli, 9 h.

Altun Tash, 9 h.

Kutaya, 9 h.

Afyun Kara-hissar is 21 h., or 65 m. S.S.E., the road lying chiefly over a hilly country, at first interspersed with forests of stunted oak, fir, and juniper, and afterwards bare and uncultivated. The road all the way to Konia is excellent. From Kara-hissar it proceeds through Bolawadun, Ak-shehr, Arkut Khan, and Yorgan Ladik to Konia, as described in Rtes. 42 and 43.
