Its story
Kyaneai is an ancient Lycian city whose Lycian name is Xban-. 19th-century travelers found it on a par with Phellos and Kandyba in importance, but better preserved. The theater, necropolises and sarcophagi around the acropolis are scattered across the wooded hill. It is a regular stop for Lycian Way hikers.
