The Havana Tunnel under the Ocean

The only major structure in Cuba that passes under the ocean (under Havana Bay, which opens to the ocean) is the Tunnel of Havana in Havana.

Charging a camera in Cuba is very difficult and time-consuming; my camera's battery ran out on the road, so I took this photo with a Fuji Camera, which is why it's a bit grainy.

The Havana Tunnel under the Ocean

Key features of the Havana Tunnel are: Location: Located in Havana, the capital of Cuba, at the entrance to Havana Bay. Length: 733 meters long. Depth: Passes approximately 12-14 meters below the ocean floor. Passage: Serves as a road tunnel and connects the two main sides of the city.

Smyrna Agora, known as the world's largest ancient agora in the city center

2,500 years old

There are many water channels in the infrastructure of the Agora of Smyrna and two of them are still in operation. There are also springs in the city and settlement. In the Roman period, a canal was built to transport the water flowing from the springs to the lower districts of the city or to the districts where water was scarce. Today, water still flows from the canal that reaches the Agora. The water channel reached the street fountains or cisterns, thus making it accessible to the public.

This is an old photo but I like the photos I took in Cuba and vintage cars so I share them from time to time.
I took this photo with a Sony camera because my camera battery was dead so it's not very clear but I still liked it.

Latmos House of Zeus

Latmos (Besparmak) Mountains, the home of Zeus in Greek mythology.

Latmos Mountain has one of the rare geological structures in the world with 8,500-year-old rock paintings.

The rock paintings are dated between 6,000 and 5,000 BC.

Mostly human images were drawn. People are not drawn individually, but in a way that reminds them of a family. Herakleia. The city had the Gulf of Latmos, which was an extension of the Aegean Sea in ancient times. However, as a result of being filled with alluviums brought by the Menderes River, the bay turned into today's Bafa Lake.

Herakleia Ancient City. The city took its name from the famous mythology hero Herakles. While its name was Latmos in the 8th century BC, it was taken over by Mausolos, the Satrap of Caria, during the Persian period. As a result of Alexander's Asian expedition, it came under the sovereignty of the Alexander Empire and later the Seleucids. Herakleia, which lost its former importance when it was cut off from the sea in the 1st century BC, became a hiding place for Christian monks due to difficulties in transportation. The ancient city, built on a very rugged and rocky terrain, is surrounded by a 6.5 kilometer long wall reinforced with 65 towers. Located on the rocky land behind the harbour, the Temple of Athena is one of the best preserved buildings in the city. It is a Hellenistic Age structure with two columns in the style of Templum in Antis. The agora located to the east of the Temple of Athena has two floors, and the first floor has survived today.
