A Roman-period settlement on the Kapıdağ Peninsula, with a mausoleum and cisterns on a deserted hill overlooking the Gulf of Fethiye.
Its story
Lydae is an ancient city on the Kapıdağ Peninsula between Dalaman and Göcek, in the lands on the coast opposite Rhodes. Sources sometimes place it within the borders of Caria and sometimes of Lycia. The priests and a Roman senator from the city show the settlement's importance in the region. Today two mausoleums, cisterns and building remains stand on a deserted hill overlooking the sea; the site is reached by boat and on foot.
