Its story
Aperlai is a Lycian city founded in the 400s BC, at the foot of the Sıçak Peninsula between Kaş and Kekova. Land on which farming was difficult made the city dependent on the sea, and purple dye production was one of its important livelihoods. Some of the buildings on the shore can be seen today under the shallow water. The city is reached by boat or on foot via the Lycian Way.
