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: yachts at their moorings with the kalesi (fortress) built by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1522 in the background.
