Tlos Ruins

hilltop citadel Tlos is one of the most important religious Lycian sites and have begun more than 4,000 years ago. Ticket price is 12.5₺ . With museum card it will be free.

The most breathtaking place on the Earth! You have to come here at sunset, because the mountains are burning with scarlet colors! Tombs, an amphitheater, a castle - they leave without words.

Amazing place. A big site with a lot to see. When we visited there were archeologists excavating an area within the old city. The views are breathtaking. Well worth a visit.

Now this is a place well worth visiting. Take water, and probably wear trainers. Information boards in English and Turkish, and maybe read up a little before going too. A little uneven underfoot (not suitable for strollers or those who are not sure on their feet). Great views from the top and awesome photo opportunities exist. Parking is almost non-existent. A couple of local vendors sell drink and snacks at very reasonable prices. Fresh figs avail too.

Why this isn't more advertised baffles me. We went to it as we we were passing close by, expecting to spend 30mins or so having a look around. In the end we spend many hours examining an elaborate site of an ancient city that rivals anything you will see in Greece or Italy. The area is a complete ancient metropolis without any imposition of modern structures. Though some areas are of limits due to it still being excavated what you can see is impressive in its scope. Climb the Acropolis for some stunning views of what would have being this cities fertile hinterland. With the mountains in the background and the lush wooded slopes it is serenely beautiful. Maybe because it is not so well known it was also sparsely visited when we were there which added to the peaceful quality we enjoyed resting and taking in the view. We were hiking that day and so had hiking boots. I would recommend a pair for this site to enjoy to the maximum as it is strewn with small and medium rocks. There are very few paths without these obstacles. Every aspect of ancient Lycian, Hellenic and Roman city life is represented at this site.

An amazing place if you like old history and ruins this is the place to visit the views are stunning and you could spend hours here just walking around admiring the countryside

Tlos ancient city, ruins of ancient tombs, baths, stadium and theater. Not as attractive as Patara ancient city but if you are around the place, better to see. Entrance fee is 12TL or free for those who hold museum card. Walking isn't easy for visitors so not good for old, disabled and young people.

We thought that these ruins were amazing, the theater, Agora, stone tombs and a castle. Beautiful location, not many visitors. Definitely worth visiting this site. Good location for some incredible photographs. 12.5 TL to enter the grounds. 3btraveler
