Patara
One of the largest cities and the main port of the Lycian Union. Because of its proximity to the mouth of the Xanthus River, opening the way to a densely populated valley, it was of great strategic and commercial importance.
In ancient times the city was the site of the famous sanctuary of Apollo and his oracle in the Greek world.
Apart from the sights of the main street, as well as the baths, the granary, the theatre, the city council building and the necropolis, the ruins are almost completely covered by sand. The site of the former harbour is now swampy and has no connection with the sea. Archaeological works are being carried out on the territory.
