Istlada was a town of ancient Lycia; the name is known only from inscriptions and is uncertain because the end of the inscription has been lost. [1]
Its site is located near Hayıtlı, Asiatic Turkey, [2] [3] where remains, including Lycian tombs of the 4th century BCE, can be found. [4] The site is part of the tentative UNESCO World Heritage Site called 'Ancient Cities of Lycian Civilisation'. [5]
Letoon or Letoum in the Fethiye district of Muğla Province, Turkey, was a sanctuary of Leto located 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the ancient city of Xanthos, to which it was closely associated, and along the Xanthos River. It was one of the most important religious centres in the region though never a fully-occupied settlement.
Calynda was a city in ancient Caria.
Cadyanda or Kadyanda was a town of ancient Lycia. The site was discovered by Charles Fellows. The decree of Pixodarus now in the British Museum shows that the Lycian name of the town was Xadawãti.
Daedala or Daidala was a city of the Rhodian Peraea in ancient Caria, or a small place, as Stephanus of Byzantium says, on the authority of Strabo.
Bubon or Boubon was a city of ancient Lycia noted by Stephanus of Byzantium; the ethnic name, he adds, ought to be Βουβώνιος, but it is Βουβωνεύς, for the Lycians rejoice in this form. The truth of this observation of Stephanus is proved by the inscription found on the spot: Βουβωνέων ἡ Βουλὴ καὶ ὁ Δῆμος.
Arsada or Arsadus was a city of ancient Lycia, located over the valley of the Xanthus between the ancient cities of Tlos and Xanthus.
Isinda was a town of ancient Lycia. Isinda was part of a sympoliteia with Aperlae, Apollonia and Simena.
Lissa was a town of ancient Lycia, mentioned by Ptolemy.
Lydae or Lydai was a town of ancient Caria or Lycia in the Rhodian Peraea. Ptolemy notes the city in Lycia under the name Chydae. The Stadiasmus Maris Magni calls the city Clydae or Klydai (Κλυδαί) and places it in Caria.
Tyberissus or Tyberissos, also Tyberisus or Tyberisos, was an inland town of ancient Lycia, near the ancient settlement of Teimiussa that functioned as its port. The name is not attested in history, but is derived from epigraphic and other evidence. This combination of harbor and inland location is the focus of archaeological exploration. Among the finds are tombs with Lycian inscriptions. Coins inscribed "ΤΥ" of typical Lycian type were probably minted here.
Tragalassus or Tragalassos was a town of ancient Lycia.
Trysa or Tryssa was a town of ancient Lycia, located between Cyaneae and Myra. It has been archaeologically examined, and among the finds are Lycian tombs, most notably the Heroon of Trysa. Greek inscriptions which were found there show that there was a cult of Zeus Eleutherios and of Helios at Trysa. The town was also inhabited during the Byzantine period and there was a church on the acropolis.
Phoenix or Phoinix was a town of ancient Caria, near the mountain of the same name on the southern branch of the Bozburun Peninsula. It may be the same as the town called Phoenice or Phoinike (Φοινίκη) by Stephanus of Byzantium.
Olbia was the westernmost town on the coast of ancient Pamphylia, which some ancient writers place in Lycia. Ptolemy places it between Phaselis and Attaleia. Stephanus of Byzantium blames Philo for ascribing this town to Pamphylia, since, as he asserts, it was situated in the territory of the Solymi, and its real name was Olba; but the critic is here himself at fault, confounding Olbia with the Pisidian Olbasa. Strabo describes Olbia as a strong fortress, and its inhabitants colonised the Lycian town of Cadrema.
Amnista was a town of ancient Caria. Its name does not appear in ancient authors but is inferred from inscriptions.
Kasara was a town of ancient Caria. Its name does not appear in ancient authors but is inferred from inscriptions.
Elbessos was a town of ancient Lycia, which was mentioned in a treaty between Caesar and the Lycian League.
Hygassos was a town of the Rhodian Peraea in ancient Caria, that was inhabited in the Hellenistic period. The name does not appear in inscriptions, but the demonym occurs frequently in ancient epigraphy.
Chrysaoris was a town of ancient Caria, perhaps afterwards called Idrias (Ἰδριάς). According to Apollonius, in his Carica, it was the first city which was founded by the Lycians. According to Marcus Mettius Epaphroditus, all Caria was called Chrysaoris. Herodotus mentions a district in Caria, named Idrias, in which the river Marsyas had its source. Later, Antiochus built the city of Stratonicea there.
