CHAPTER VI. 



Adalia to Stenez. — Sites of Attaleia, Olbia, Cadrema, (?) La- 

 gon, and Termessus Major. 



Adalia is the largest and most important 

 city on the southern coast of Asia Minor. 

 Although the seat of considerable trade, at the 

 period of our visit it had no resident repre- 

 sentative of any European state, nor was there 

 a single European merchant dwelling in the 

 town. The trade was monopolized by a few 

 rich Asiatic Greeks, subjects of the Porte, who 

 enjoyed their affluence undisturbed, and had 

 houses and establishments proportionate to their 

 wealth. The population of Adalia is about 

 thirteen thousand, of whom three thousand are 

 Greeks. There are ten mosques and seven 

 churches, several of them interesting, on account 

 of their antiquity or beauty. The houses and 

 walls contain many fragments of sculpture,
