Limyra, Lymra, Limra

Limyra, today known as Lymra, lies approximately 10km north of Finike. It was an important Lycian city, probably founded in the 6th century BC. Most of the monuments in Limyra belong to 2nd century AD, including the theater in the foothills of the acropolis. In the surrounding area is a vast necropolis of 400 tombs and sarcophagi. There are also considerable remains of Roman baths, a heroon, two churches, a basilica and a Bishop's palace.
