Burhaniye

The remains of a 2,500-year-old ancient port were revealed for the first time in a generation due to a low tide in Turkey's northern Aegean town of Ören.

"I've been hiking up here for many years. I've been watching the seaside. It's the first time I see such a huge low tide," said local resident Timur Yılmaz, who is a retired military sergeant.

Ruins of a church dating back 800 years have been unearthed at the ancient city of Adramytteion in the northwestern Turkish province of Balıkesir's Burhaniye district.

The find comes just two weeks before the end of this year's seasonal works.
