First discovered by the archaeologist Charles Fellow in 1838, Xanthos was the capital city of ancient Lycia until it was plundered by the Persians in 545 B.C. The mixture of Lycian, Roman and Byzantine ruins create a very special atmosphere at this site. Today, one can see the Tomb of Harpies, the Neried Monument, the stadium, agora, the Inscribed Pillar as well as numerous tombs on the necropolis. Letoon, the holy centre of the Lycian Federation lies just 5 kms from Xanthos. The three temples dating from 4 B.C., are dedicated to Leto and her twin children Artemis and Apollo. The oracle Apollo was said to reside 6 months at Letoon and 6 months at Delphi. Patara, as well as having a wonderful sandy beach, was the port which served Xanthos.
