Seleukeia (Lyrbe) Ancient City
Manavgat, Antalya
A Pamphylian mountain city near Bucakşeyhler in a pine forest, with a well-preserved agora and baths.
Its story
The remains are on a sloping hill north of Bucakşeyhler village, about 12 km northeast of Manavgat. Long referred to as Seleukeia, the city has also been suggested to be Lyrbe in light of an inscription found. It was partly uncovered by excavations led by Prof. Dr. Jale İnan in 1972–1979. The agora and surrounding buildings in the forest offer a quiet exploration.
