  Part 4

Bafa Lake, Seven Brothers Monastery, Kapakiri, Euromos and LaBranda.

The caretaker is drying walnuts on top of his roof.

Eric is taking a rest inside the Temple of Zeus.

Looks like the ruins will shortly become even more ruined soon, with these vines tearing them apart..

Eric thought this snake was dead, because it didn't move when he threw a small twig at it.  Turns out it was just injured, because after he came closer, it hissed at him.  The caretaker smashed it with a stick, saying that it was poisonous.

At home, we posted a question on alt.pets.reptiles.snakes, and were told it's probably an Ottoman viper (Vipera Xanthina), a venomous species found in Turkey. Supposedly extremely rare.

This Roman tomb had a section above, which was apparently for children.

Inside the tomb.

Next to the tomb was a huge boulder with steps carved in it.  We climbed up...

And had a great view of the valley.
