The ancient city of Xanthos is located in the village of Kınık, 3 hours from Antalya by car. The city of Xanthos is one of the most popular ancient sites in Turkey. Located in the ancient Lycian region on the south-west coast of Turkey, this city was once the capital of the Lycian Kingdom. In this video, you will find all the important and historical information you need to know before visiting Xanthos. What Can I Do in Xanthos? The ancient city of Xanthos is divided into two parts by a small ravine that follows the Antalya road. As you enter the site, you will see the Hellenistic city walls that were rebuilt by the Romans. The Pillar of Xanthos is an ancient monument that was erected near the agora in Xanthos, dedicated to twelve Lycian gods. The pillar has four faces with a long inscription engraved in three languages as Lycian, Milyan, and Ancient Greek. The inscription, written in twelve lines of Greek, identifies the tomb as that of King Kherei. In this inscription, he is described as having gained a remarkable victory against the Athinaians. The stele is of extreme importance in the study of ancient languages. The Agora was surrounded by tall, smooth-surfaced columns. There is also a Byzantine basilica with three rooms and mosaic flooring. The basilica fell to Arabian invaders in the 7th century. An additional two funerary monuments stand outside the agora. One of the pillars is called the Pillar of Harpies, and it is 7.5 meters high. The original reliefs from the palace of Nimrud were taken by Charles Fellows, who presented them to the British Museum in 1849. These reliefs were replaced with beautiful casts in the 5th century BC, possibly by Milesian sculptors. Harpies, winged spirits in classical mythology, are featured in the scenes of offerings. Another interpretation is that the scenes show the afterlife and supplication to Lycian leaders.
