Also called Latmos, and at the end of a long, winding rocky mountain road, Heraklia is home to some impressive ancient architecture. The town is closely linked to the myths of Selene, the moon goddess, and the mysterious air the place exudes may give you an idea why. The most impressive ruins are from the Byzantine era, and include a fortified castle and its high walls. Heraklia is a quiet town, where you will no doubt have the opportunity to sightsee at leisure and also to observe a slice of authentic contemporary Turkish village life.
