It is said that the ancient city of Phaselis was founded by Rhodesian colonists in the 7th century BC on a small peninsula extending to the Mediterranean Sea. In the founding legend, it is said that the colonists responded to the suggestions of corn or dried fish to the local people with the request of fish.
Its geographical location indicates that it is an important port city.
It has three ports, one in the north of the peninsula and the other in the Northeast, and the third on the southwest coast. Depictions of ships on ports, agoras and city coins emphasize Phaselis ‘ commercial port identity.
The most monumental structure to date is aqueducts. The water needed by the city was brought from a spring located on the hill to the North. There are three agoras, one opposite the theatre and the other two to the right of the main street leading to the South Harbour. Inside the Agora opposite the theater are the remains of a small Basilica belonging to the Byzantine period.
The other two important ruins of the city are the remains of two baths, one small and the other large, in the city square. Especially the small remains of the bath give information about the heating system of the Roman bath. Historians write that the chief goddess of the city was Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom. It is believed that the Temple of Athena and other important structures, which have not yet been found, are today located on the hill of the Acropolis, covered with Forest.
