Gulf of Finike

The Gulf of Finike lies off the Lycian shore of southwestern Anatolia, east of Myra. Behind its waters stretches a broad alluvial plain, bounded inland by the mountains of the Teke Peninsula. Several ancient cities stood on the plain, including Limyra, Korydalla, Rhodiapolis and Gagai. The port of Phoinikos, later known as Finike, served Limyra and shipped the produce of its agricultural hinterland across the Mediterranean.
