Aby Architect Zenon for his one
and only love, Belkıs from Serik… Apol-
lonius of Aksu inventor of mathematical
terms such as ellipse, parabola, hyper-
bola.. Opromoas, the philanthropist from Kumluca, who came

quake… Saint Nicholas of Demre, protector of the seas, travel-
ers and the poor… Sarpedon the hero of Kaş Kınık, Dosemealti

Once Upon a Time in Antalya from Sarpedon to Keykubad, it
tells the stories of Antalya’s ancient myths, legends, emperors,
scientists, poets, physicians, philanthropists, and briefly the sto-
ries of these lands, with their love, separation and reunion.
From prehistoric times to the present, Antalya has witnessed
hundreds of cultures, languages and beliefs for 500 thousand
years.
The great master of Turkish poetry, Nazım Hikmet Ran, de-
scribes Antalya in his poetry book, Human Landscapes from My
Country Cultures existed in these lands, with a spirit that we en-
counter when he describes Antalya as a “three-point province”.
In peace, together, which loses its meaning when someone is
missing…
Pamphylia means “the place where different cultures live in
peace”, Lycia, where the first cores of democracy emerged and
ancient civilizations such as Psidia, whose origins date back to
the mysterious people of Anatolia, the Luwians, were born in
these lands.
