If you look closely, you can see a castle on the top of the mountain on the left of the picture

We drove about an hour from Alania and reached the historical site near the town of Gajipasa

The road was a beautiful mountain road, lined with lush banana plantations

The climate here is hot and humid, so ideal for growing tropical fruits in the past there were probably only olive groves here, but lately more and more farmers are putting bananas around bananas are much more lucrative Actually

I wasn't planning to climb the castle I was rather looking for a beautiful hidden place like a jewel in the sea But since we were there I thought I could try to climb the ruins but quickly dismissed the idea

The narrow path was incredibly steep and dangerous, so I thought it was impossible But let's be honest, is it logical, right?

These ancient castles are deliberately built in dangerous places so that they can't be easily taken.

They are designed to withstand months of sieges.

This time, I have also attached the unedited photos of this stunning landscape.
so please compare the before and after versions.

I look forward to your comments. See you soon. 🥰 Morteza Youssef
