We have been to this impressive Lycian capital a number of times and have led nonprofit educational tours here as well, but we never tire of it. When we first began coming here 29 years ago, we often had the site to ourselves even in high season. For historically-minded folks like us it was magical to wander it and ponder... More

We often take visitors to Xanthos as it's well laid out and an easy stop for those who want to see some history but not spend long looking at ruins. Wonderful in the spring when the wild flowers are out.

Gorgeous, historical and beautiful not to be missed if you love to explore a region when you travel! So many wonderful things to see... not far from stunning Kalkan. Be sure to go, take water, sunglasses and a hat! Go EARLY, it can get very hot in August.

Can imagine yourself back in roman times. Some of the best architecture I have seen. Really worth a visit. Combine it with saklikent and Tlos and makes a great day out.

The tour guide was lovely, there was a british female and turkish male (I can't remember their names) and they were really friendly. We went to a range of historical sites and they were all incredibly fascinating. Having some archaeological background I thought that... More

A really outstanding ancient site and wonderful beach, as well as a very charming typically Turkish villag where you sit on cushions on the floors in the cafes. Do walk in the sand dunes, if you are allowed to, and the walk from the beach through the ancient ruins is very special too, even if you are not mad on... More

I took the local bus from KAS and spent the afternoon exploring this awesome site and enjoying a wonderful lunch at a cafe close to the bus station in the adjacent village. The food was excellent and the two children - especially the 5 yr. old boy who acted as the restaurant's official greeter were delightful. Language was not an... More

A beautiful Unesco world heritage site. As the former Lycian capital, it is a must see for history buffs. It is an easy to find and get to from Kalkan on generally good roads
