Jacques Guiaud · Public domain

An ancient Lycian city near Kilincli village in the Kas district of Antalya Province, Turkey, at 418 m elevation. Pillar tombs in the northern necropolis date the settlement to around 500 BC. In the 1st century AD, Apollonia joined a four-city sympoliteia with Simena, Aperlae, and Isinda within the Lycian League. Ruins include a walled acropolis with a double fortification (older Lycian stockade inside Byzantine walls), a theatre, baths with cisterns, two churches, and six pillar tombs.
