These are the pictures taken by me on my trip to Laodikeia. Getting there
was not easy, if you're lucky you can sometimes walk along a goat track or two.
While I was there I did NOT disturb anything and did NOT take anything.
I suggest you do the same if you ever go there.

I have found little to no resources on the internet about Laodikeia,
all speak of other places bearing the same name. The only site I know of that
mentions Laodikeia on Tahtali mountain is a German site :
www.beycik.de Here you will find some more
info and pictures about Laodikeia. They can also be contacted for guided tours to the city.
If there are people out there who can tell me more, I can be reached at
laodikeia mail
