One of the best things about Turkey is accessibility to Roman ruins. Unlike Greece or Italy, Turkey is blessed with an abundance of ancient treasures that you can actually crawl around on.

Yalvac is the biblical city of Antioch in Psidia. 17 cities once carried the name Antioch. High mountain peaks, snowcapped in winter, surround the ruins of this once bustling town, which features an aqueduct, theater, roads and columns.

The ruins of the Church of St. Paul are located in Yalvac. The Church was built in 325 A.D. on the site of the Synagogue where St. Paul is said to have preached in 46A.D.
