The ancient kingdom of Lycia,
on Turkey's
Mediterranean
shore, holds a wealth
of wondrous archaeological sites: Telmessos
(Fethiye), Olimpos,
Phaselis,
Myra,
Antiphellos (Kas), Teimiussa, Patara,
Xanthos and dozens more.
Bounded by Fethiye to
the west, Antalya to
the east and Korkuteli to the north,
the "bulge" of the Lycian
peninsula (map)
is also one of Turkey's most strikingly
beautiful regions, with snow-capped
mountains, serpentine shorelines hiding
secluded beaches,
and nearly a hundred
ancient cities, towns and
other archaeological sites.
Prof. Dr. Cevdet Bayburtluoglu has
walked this land for more than 50 years,
and has excavated Lycian sites for
over 30 years. Few archaeologists have
such an exhaustive and detailed knowledge
of the region and its ancient treasures.
Prof. Dr. Bayburtluoglu's guide covers
81 archaeological sites (listed below)
in 300 pages, with site plans and hundreds
of full-color photos.
The front cover
folds out to become a detailed
three-panel map of the region,
with highways, side roads, towns,
villages, archaeological sites, and
kilometer distances:

The text provides detailed driving
and walking directions for
finding the sites, many site
plans, and
lots of photos illustrating
the most interesting architectural
and archaeological features.
The pocket-sized (4-3/4 x 8-1/2 inches,
12 x 21.5 cm) book is printed on high-quality
coated stock, and includes an eight-page
Glossary of archaeological
terms at the back.
Lycia, by
Prof. Dr. Cevdet Bayburtluoglu (ISBN
9757078204, 300 pages), is
the first volume in a series of archaeological
travel guides to be published by the
Suna & Inan Kiraç Research
Institute on Mediterranean Civilizations.
