Sucullu, a small town of 5000 people on the St Paul Trail close to Antioch in Pisidia, is having a traditional folk festival.
On 17th July, traditionally-dressed villagers with their animals will walk from the mosque in Yalvaç, past the ruins at Antioch, along the aqueduct to Sucullu (about 2-3 hrs walk).

There will then be celebrations in the village, with nomad tents, traditional food and an evening concert with musicians from Istanbul.

On 18th there will be traditional dancing, a circumcision for little boys, and more local food and drink.

Accommodation in the village Misafir Evi, a comfortable pension which can hold 15-20 people, or hotels in Yalvaç, or camping.
