This Lycian town was prosperous up to the 4th century AD. There are a number of sarcophagi and several rock tombs to scramble around, as well as the remains of a marketplace and the once enormous town walls.
The large theater is the highlight of the site and has 25 rows of seating. Superb views are on offer if you climb to the top seating tier. Kyaneai only gets a smattering of tourists daily, which imbues the entire site with a lost-world feeling.
