You're standing in Xanthos, an ancient city on a hill above the river that once shared its name. This was the largest and most important city of Lycia. The Lycians were a people with their own language, and you can still find it carved into the stones here. Since 1988 Xanthos, together with the nearby sanctuary of Letoon, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
