An entry port west of Olympos, Finike is surrounded by citrus trees and-gardens. A sandy beach stretches to the east, and to the west are rocky bays and coves. Limyra, an ancient Lycian city, is 10km inland from Finike, via Turuncova. The fourth-century BC Pericles mausoleum, decorated with caryatids, is a magnificent example of ancient art. The city walls and Roman theater are also of interest. Farther on this road is the Lycian city of Arikanda. Set high on the mountain overlooking one of Turkey’s most beautiful valleys, the extensive ruins include the agora, theater, stadium, bouleuterion, water system, gymnasium, baths and scattered sarcophagi.
