The ancient Roman city of Dara is one of southeast Turkey's hidden attractions. While tourists flock to Turkey's famed archaeological sites of Ephesus and Pergamum, Dara receives only a handful of visitors, allowing you the feeling that you've stumbled onto your own secret ruin.
Archaeological work here is still continuing. The highlight of a visit so far is the extensive irrigation and aqueduct system that has been uncovered, complete with the huge towers that stored the water.
