Thos, one of the five cities of the Lycian confederacy (Wiki Commons)
Perhaps the oldest and most important of the five major cities of the Lycian confederacy, Tlos stands back from the Xanthos River, surveying its progress. Set at a lofty height with an acropolis that has both Lycian and Ottoman stonework, the scattering of buildings includes a theatre and necropolis. Bellerophon, mythical slayer of monsters, is said to have lived here and can be seen riding Pegasus in a carving on a rock-cut tomb. There are attractive villages around the site.
