Tlos

In the 2nd century BCE Tlos entered the Lycian Union. Continuing its existence in the Byzantine period, Tlos, was one of the rare ruins that could survive until the 9th century. The transportation was provided through the Kemer district on the Fethiye-Korkuteli road, 13 km after the Yaka village Castle quarter. The history of the cities of Lycia is known to go back to the 5th century BCE. Since no older documents have been recovered, we cannot know the exact establishment of these cities, but life in Lycia starts in the 2nd century BCE. An axe found by chance in Tlos is also evidence that supports this thesis. Tlos is known to have existed in the 2nd century under the name Talaw.
