Subsequently it fell under Lydian, Greek, and Roman rule until being absorbed into the Osman Empire in 1408. Now a leading holiday resort on the Turkish south coast, it can accommodate over 100,000 visitors at a time. Here: a footbridge between the beach and the yacht harbour, with small boats in the foreground.
