Carmylessus

Carmylessus or Karmylessos (Ancient Greek : Καρμυλησσός) was a town of ancient Lycia, described by Strabo between Telmissus and the mouth of the Xanthus.^[1] After Telmissus, he says, then Anticragus (Ancient Greek : Ἀντίκραγος), an abrupt mountain on which is the small place Carmylessus, lying in a ravine.

The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World identify Kaya, Fethiye as the location of the ancient city,^[2] while the Lund University Atlas of the Roman World tentatively place it at Kayaköy.^[3]
