The 'Lycian Delphi' built on terraces.
History & Details
Arykanda is one of the most spectacularly situated cities in ancient Lycia, built on five massive rising terraces into a steep mountainside overlooking the Arykandos valley. Often called the 'Lycian Delphi,' it features an incredible ancient theater, a stadium built on a single terrace, and some of the best-preserved Roman villas in the region. Due to its remote location high in the mountains, a VIP transfer to Arykanda is the only comfortable and reliable way to reach this archaeological gem. Our private Antalya taxi service provides a luxury journey through the scenic Taurus mountains, ensuring you arrive refreshed and ready for the climb. The view from the top of the stadium is absolutely breath-taking, offering a panoramic sweep of the cedar-forested valley below. For history enthusiasts who want to escape the more crowded tourist sites, a private day trip to Arykanda provides a peaceful and profound connection to the ancient world.
