Patara Ancient City/Kas/Antalya

Patara Ancient City is located in today's Gelemis Village, at the southwest end of the Xanthos Valley, between Fethiye and Kalkan, and is one of the most important and oldest cities of Lycia.
Patara became the leading city of Lycia when it came under the rule of Ptolemy in the 3rd century BC.

Patara, which has a reputation as an important prophecy center of Apollo, is also a port where the grains transported from Anatolia to Rome are stored and stored. The city, which continued its importance in the Byzantine Period, became an important center for Christians. Saint Nicholaos, known as "Santa Claus", is from Patara. Also, St. Paul boarded the ship from Patara to go to Rome. The fact that the only authorized signatory of Lycia, Bishop Eudemos, was the Bishop of Patara in the Iznik Council in 325 AD, chaired by Emperor Constantine, is proof that the city was also popular in this period.
