Located
at 12 kms from Kemer, Tlos is one of the oldest
residential areas of Lycia. In the Hitite archives from
the 14th century BC there is mention of the city of
Dlawa in the Lukka land, while it is called Tlawa in
Lycian writings. A bronze axe found at Tlos belonging to
the 11th century BC proves that both the city and the
Lycians were is existence at that period. Tlos lived on
during the Byzantian Period and is one of the few cities
which continued its existence up to the 19th century.
Access to Saklıkent is through a turn on
Fethiye-Antalya road. The trip to Saklıkent, meaning the
hidden city, is through a deep valley, by passing from
the wooden quays towards the inner parts of Esen Çayı
feeling cold even in the hottest day .To have cool day
in the hot of Mediterranean summer, walking in the
canyon is enough.
