I'm sometimes captivated not by the sites we visit, but by the landscapes that they overlook. How would these worlds looked to the ancient peoples living there? I don't think it's coincidental that the ancient built high up on hills - not to make us grad students gasp for breath, hiking up them thousands of years later, but so that they'd be well-protected and also have phenomenal views.
I'm working my way through Turkey photos from Day 4, and found this gem from Aigai - an amazing site, to be sure, but also with some breathtaking views.
