A short drive away from the main Kalkan hotels lies the beautiful Xanthos Valley, full of ancient Lycian sites and cities, just waiting to be explored.

The Xanthos Valley takes its name from the ancient city of Xanthos, the oldest and most important city in the region. Xanthos was once the capital of ancient Lycia and Homer mentions it in Iliad; as it was from here that Arpedonte led his troops. Although Homer’s Iliad may be a tragic tale, it pales to the real history of the city. On at least two separate and unrelated occasions, the population chose mass suicide rather than submission to invading armies.

Xanthos has many notable sights and although some monuments now stand in the British Museum, there are a number of relics that can still be seen in their original habitat. A tomb called the ‘Harpy Tomb’ which dates from 5 BC is one of the most visited attractions, and located just a short drive away from the majority of the Kalkan hotels. The chamber at the top of this tomb is decorated with beautiful marble motifs showing sirens carrying the souls of the dead.

Another nearby tomb is the Pillar Tomb, shaped like a large bird-table. This ancient tomb is believed to be a lot older than the nearby ‘Harpy Tomb’, and dates from the 3rd or 4th century BC.

The Xanthian Obelisk is the largest inscription of the Lycian language known to exist and altogether this large monument boasts over 250 lines of text. This inscription covers all four sides of yet another tomb, which was built in the 3rd century AD to replace the old Roman Agora. The Xanthian Obelisk used to contain a pillar mounted on two stepped krepis and a funerary chamber, both of which are now housed in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum.

Xanthos’ highlight is its ancient amphitheatre, and many companies run excursions to this site from various Kalkan hotels nearby. However, if you’ve rented a car, then the amphitheatre is just a short drive away from the resort centre. It was built in the 2nd century AD to replace an earlier Hellenistic one which stood on the site. Nowadays, only the two upper rows of the auditorium are missing and the stage area still remains intact.

The next town that you’ll come across on your tour of the Lycian Valley is Patara. This city was once the chief port of Lycia, but its ancient port is now little more than a glorified salt marsh. Much of the city still remains buried underground and is believed that this is one of the reasons for its remarkable state of preservation. With the Lycians gone, these days the city has another claim to fame; it is the home of the Bishop of Myra, better known as Santa Claus! There is little to mark Patara as the home of Santa Claus and the place definitely isn’t a winter wonderland. Instead you are likely to come across a vast sandy beach, which is popular with holidaymakers and believed to be one of the longest in the region.

Offering a perfect blend of sandy beaches, ancient architecture and its local celebrity, the Xanthos Valley is the ideal place to explore from Kalkan hotels.

Motor oil is essential to the proper lubrication and functioning of the engines in vehicles, as is replacing it on a regular basis. Oil, when disposed of improperly, does not readily break down and has the potential to cause harm to plants and animals of the natural environment. Even small amounts of oil can contaminate the freshwater supply on which many people, animals and plants rely to sustain life. In addition, neglecting to dispose of used motor oil properly is illegal. On the bright side, used motor oil can be recycled into re-refined oil and used again, in turn saving energy and slowing the demand for new oil production.

If you are one of the many people who change their own oil, following the correct procedures for storage and recycling of used motor oil is extremely important. Oil must be drained into a container that does not leak and has a dependable screw-on top. Containers designed specifically for this purpose can be easily purchased at automotive specialty stores or mass retailers. Make sure that the container you use has not been previously used to store household or other chemicals. Also, use a drop cloth below your work area to avoid spills and splatters that can be difficult or impossible to clean up and can cause harm to the environment.

Use the phone book, internet or referrals to determine the most convenient way to recycle used motor oil in your area. Some communities provide the containers in which to drain your used oil as well as roadside pick up service. If you do not have this lucky option, check with oil change service stations, automotive repair shops or car dealers in your local area to determine which places recycle used oil. Also, inquire about the proper procedure for recycling the oil that has collected in your oil filter. Another option to determine oil recycling locations in your area is to use one of the web services which allow you to enter your zip code to obtain a list of nearby locations that will recycle used motor oil. Some oil collection centers will even pay you for your used oil!

Another measure you can take to protect the environment from contamination from used motor oil is to ensure that your vehicle is free of oil leaks. You may also consider using a longer life oil in your vehicle, which increases the amount of miles you can drive between oil changes and thus reduces your overall oil consumption.
