A couple of months ago I have posted my visit to Ramnous ancient site with a bitter aftertaste due to the fact that access was allowed only to the first half of it (actually less than half).
You can find that post here.

Now I'm back looking forward to see the rest!
I walk down this unpaved path:
And walk through this gross door which is open this time:
As as you walk down this ancient street heading North you can see ruins of ancient tombs:
A few meters later a small plateau generously though unintentionally offered by those marble ruins makes a great view point to the sea and the fortress of Ramnous that I can't wait to visit later:
At this point every single step I take heading North makes my heart beat happier and my eyes open wider trying to capture the sea, the fortified town of Ramnous and all this beauty around:
The path becomes narrower and even challenging at some points for the non fit ones - not the best site to visit if it's your first walking days after an accident:
But does it worth the effort?
Abso-fucking-lutely:
This walk brings me to the entrance of the fortress:
Under this penetrating sun on an already very hot day regardless the fact that I arrived as early in the morning as possible I enter Ramnous town much more effortlessly than invaders used to back in the day:
I'm instantly attracted by this cute circular stone house that I didn't manage to find more info about:
The East side of the town has great view to the sea and I guess there's a good reason behind the fact that most of those stone houses are located on this part:
This street going up leads to the Gymnasium and the Theater of Ramnous:
Not much survive today from either of them but you can see some of the VIP seats of the theater:
And here's view to both of them from the North end:
More to see on this street heading East:
Here's another view to the stone houses as I look South trying to prevent the sun from killing my pictures:
Not always possible though as you see in the next ones:
Time for a panoramic:
If it wasn't for the killing sun I would be dreaming myself staying there all day watching the sea:
Just like these stones do:
This stone path said "Follow me" and that's what I do:
That's how the hydraulics of that era look today:
No life today in these houses but not such a bad life for the ancient standards back in the day:
Time to leave the town behind from the same way I entered:
I wonder how much time it took them back in the day to make every simple rectangular parallelepiped thing like this:
Last shots of the fortress wall before I go:
Just a tiny gap between stones is more than enough for vegetation to grow:
Thank you Ramnous, it took two visits (not my fault - read previous post about the place) but you deserved both:
And that despite the hot day. 32.6 under the shade of this HUGE plane tree at 10:00 am:
I think at this point you'd like to watch a video as well:
Hope you enjoyed reading and watching, I appreciate your attention and look forward to see you on my next one 🙂
