Tlos
Tlos is an interesting Lycian city in Asia Minor, in the Mediterranean region of Turkey that is especially spectacular in the spring with snow on the mountains that stand tall behind the theater.
The 19th century archaeologist Charles Fellows who rediscovered Tlos in 1838 and several other nearby ancient sites, said: "The whole ride down this upper valley is stunning and varies continually; it's scenery, on approaching the bold Greek like situation of the ancient city of Tlos, is strikingly picturesque".
A minibus running along the little road that serves Xanthos and Saklikent can drop you at the bottom of the access road to Tlos. The 4 kilometers hike gives you a feeling for the situation of the Tlos. It's the sort of site you can take in quickly or linger on for an afternoon.
In Tlos you can see the tomb of Bellephoron. The carvings on the tomb represent Tlos' main claim to archaeological significance. On the slope of the hill there are several Lycian sarcophagi (as usual in almost all the ancient sites in this region) and some other rock tombs. Another feature is Yedikapi, the seven doors or gates in Turkish. Following signs for the Hamam or Turkish baths you'll come to a very dramatic set of seven arches overlooking the whole valley. Don't miss the ancient theater of Tlos. Some charming carvings scattered about and the backdrop of the mountain range and the valley is hard to beat for spectacle. Other ruins in Tlos include a Roman stadion with a capacity of 2,500 people and a 150 meters long agora (market) next to the stadion.
