LETOON |
 |
| To reach Letoon, you turn west one kilometer beyond the
road from Kınık to Fethiye and continue 1 km. The history of
Letoon is closely linked with that of Xanthos. It is known
to have been one of the most important religious centers of
the Lycian region. Due to the rising water level,
archeological digs have been suspended. The remains
unearthed indicate that they belong to the period between
the 7th century B.C. and the 6th century A.D. The most
important edifice is the Greek style theater which has been
preserved until our day. |
