Its story

Sia is a small Pisidian city built among pine forests within the boundaries of Karaot village, south of Bucak. In the city, settled from the Hellenistic period to late times, the city wall, a two-story tower and the entrance gate still stand. Monumental tombs, a 3rd-century bath, and the remains of two churches and mausoleums can also be seen. It is ideal for those who want an exploratory walk in the forest, away from the crowds.
