Limyra was founded on the bank of the Limyros River near Saklısu (Zengeder) village in Finike. The city, whose Lycian name is also known, enjoyed a brilliant period in the 4th century BC under the Lycian king Perikles. The theater, rock tombs and the cenotaph of Gaius Caesar, grandson of Augustus, are its main monuments. Spring water flows among the ruins in places.
