We will visit to Patara Ancient City, Xanthos Ancient City and Letoon Ancient City.
We will pick you up from your hotel early in the morning. First Place is Patara Ancient City was a very wealthy city due to trade and was one of the six principal cities of Lycia. Patara’s oracle at the renown temple of Apollo (not yet found) was said to rival that at Delphi and the temple equaled the reputation of the famous temple on the island of Delos. It was believed that Apollo lived at Delos during the summer but spent his winters at Patara. Omens were interpreted in these two towns during the respective seasons. A large bust of Apollo, discovered on the hill beyond the City Gate, indicates the existence of an Apollo Temple which has not been yet found.After that lovely city we will depart to Xanthos Ancient City which is very close. In ancient times Xanthos was the residence of the King Iobates. It was one of the most powerful cities of the time and the capital of the Lycian Union. Today it attracts tourists by the ancient ruins of Lycian tombs. According to ancient Greek mythology Xanthos was founded by Sarpedon from Crete. Then last station is Letoon Ancient City which was discovered in 1840, today a sacred cult center in the World Heritage List of UNESCO. After end of the tour return to hotel.
