Limyra is almost on the doorstep of Finike, a few miles into the direction of Antalya from Demre, of St. Nicolas fame. It is an ancient Lycian town (mentioned by Harpagus in 545 BC), with an acropolis on the Tocak Dağ mountain, and much of the town on a plain near the sea. The plain has grown a lot since Strabo wrote about it. Fine decoration on some monuments is now in the Antalya museum such as that of a Cenotaph of Gaius Caesar, adopted son of Augustus, who died here, and a monument called Ptolemaion. And then there are lots of rock graves. During a later visit I climbed towards the famous Heroon of Pericles, not knowing if a ruin I saw was the proper ruin.

I later walked several miles to a very long Roman bridge, and found there were rock graves all along the road, some at street level. Graves and bridge are in this gallery also.

As late as 2020 I re-organized pictures, adding many sub-galleries. I use a map to refer to Part A and B to group some pictures.
