Selge

 Selge is situated north of Manavgat, at the Antalya Alanya highway. An important city of ancient Pisidia, Selge is reached from the Koprulu Canyon National Park then at Oluk Bridge go 12 km to the northwest on a winding mountain road. This ancient route coming from Antalya shows that Selge had direct trade connections. Tha fariy chimneys seen on the way are typical of this area. This city at 950 meters, has ruins of city walls, tower, cisterns, a temple to Zeus, an agora, stadium, theater, gymnasium and necropolis. All around the canyon are other historical remains of this once famous city.
