We are going to start to explore the fascinating Lycian sites with Xanthos. The city was the first capitol of ancient region. It was founded by the river Eşen and gives breathtaking view with the old remains. Xanthians has such great heroic defense stories in the history. Letoon is a small but important city with three temples that belong to Leto, Apollon and Artemis. The temple of Leto has been stood up and gives you the feeling of ancient times.

You can walk in the canyon; or if you are more adventurous you can hike further upstream in the ice cold waters of the canyon. Tlos was one of the six biggest cities of Lycia and has more than impressive Lycian type rock-cut tombs. We are going to be guests of a local family for lunch.
