Arsada Ruins Fethiye

This ancient city is located just behind Xanthos Valley high up on a hill that was once known as Mount Massicytus and today is Akdag.  
The city is close to the village of Arsa, 900m above sea level, there are no roads that lead to it but a steep long path from the village of Kayadibi will take you there. West of the village is a long low hill and on the east side slope into the valley is a wall built using 2.5m wide stone and 300m of it remains in good condition.  At the northern edge is a 9m square structure built with polygonal stone blocks that was once a tower or small castle believed to be from Hellenistic times with many Lycian tombs in and around this area. A little further up from the village is a path and next to it a 2.5m high rock with a carved relief of man riding a horse.
