Bettany Hughes did a piece on the Lycians in her Treasures of the World series on Channel 4 (UK). If you can get to it, you may find it of interest.

I think it was this episode:

I’ve never been to Turkey, and being honest I probably won’t ever, in the past I would have regretted this because of the food, cool Turkish people I know, great music, the cinema… but now it feels like the place in the world I would most like an archeological tour in.

Modern Fethiye in Muğla, Turkiye

So we’re doing the Turkiye thing even though that’s mega-asshole Erdogan’s idea? (Although if you want to go the whole way it’s technically Türkiye )
