PHELLOS ANCIENT CITY
The ANCIENT CITY OF PHELLOS, located only 2 km from Bademlique provides an perfect walking route.
Phellos ancient city of , located to the northeast of Kas at 950 meters above sea level in the Fellen-Yayla area.
The archeologic artifacts found at the site and numismatic and epigraphic data show that the history of Phellos dates back to very early periods.
Located 5 km north of Antiphellos, Phellos was inhabited most notably between the 7th and 4th centuries BCE. It was one of Lycia’s four dynastic settlements along with Xanthos, Trysa, and Limyra. Phellos and Antiphellos are some of the few cities in Lycia with Greek names. The name ‘Phellos’, meaning roughly ‘land of rock’ translates to Vehinda (Wehnti) in the Lycian language.
LYCIAN WAY
This 185km route typically involves about 10 to 13 days of hiking and makes for a good route for a 14-day itinerary with perhaps a ‘relaxation’ day at Patara Beach.
This route gives a good mix of the highlights that the Lycian Way has to offer: ruins, mountains, remote villages (and their friendly people), a great beach (two, if you choose to stop at Ölüdeniz for a few hours), spectacular coastal views, and so on.
