Rambling ruins of a Lycian city, a large town by 1000 BC and embellished in Roman times. The main sights are the amphitheatre, the Lycian necropolises with the mausoleum of Pericles, and the mausoleum of Gaius Caesar, heir to the Roman emperor but he died here 21 AD from injuries in the war against Armenia. A river flows through the site, clean and fresh enough to swim in, and partly submerging a basilica. The site is unkempt and partly overgrown, with goats and sheep wandering about.
Limyra was a small city in ancient Lycia on the southern coast of Asia Minor, on the Limyrus River.

In contrast to Limyra this city was compact, constrained by its hilly site, and its Lycian / Hellenistic structures were built over by the Romans. There's a theatre (clumsily restored), tombs, churches and temples, an agora and stoas. Water supply was as tight a constraint as the site: the baths are some way downhill, probably to maximise the head of water pressure, but you'd be sweaty and dusty again by the time you tramped back up to town.
