Kadyanda
Kadyanda Roman Theatre
The ruined hill-top city of
Kadyanda (Turkish: Kadianda) is situated 18 km north-east of Fethiye near the village of
Üzümlü. The site, whose monuments
and inscriptions date back to the 5th century BC, has only recently been
opened to tourism. Cadyanda or "Kadawanti" in Lycian was not an important
city and is mentioned only once in ancient manuscripts. Still, Kadyanda is
certainly worth visiting, as the site is unspoiled with its city walls, stadium,
temple, agora, Hellenistic theatre, and Roman baths. All these remains
are located in a magnificent setting amidst a pinewood forest with
fantastic views over the Xanthos Valley and Fethiye Plain.
