Finike

Finike lies on a bay of the Lycian coast beneath the western Taurus. Ancient Phoinikos served as a harbour for Limyra, the inland city whose fields supplied produce for export. Remains of walls from Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods recall the harbour's long use. At Limyra, a fortified settlement and acropolis stood below the mountain, connecting the fertile plain with the maritime routes of the Mediterranean.
