PHASELIS
Phaselis is reached one km after
turning left 57km along the Antalya-Kemer highway. This was settled
by the Rhodians in the 7th century B.C. and for many years was claimed
to be the most important port city of the eastern Lycian seaboard.
Phaselis has three harbours the north, the military protected and
the south harbour, of which the most important is the later. A 220-24
m wide avenue runs throughout the city. The western end is the site
of Hadrians Gate. On both sides of the avenue are sidewalks and
shops. Close to these can be seen the public places like baths,
theatre and agora. It is reached by road and also from the sea.
