Phaselis
It was known to be a very important port because of its exceptional situation on the Egyptian. Syrian and Greek sea routes. After conquering Phaselis, like the rest ofLycia in 334 B.C. Alexander the Great remained there for some time; in fact. is known to have wintered there. An account of the time he spent there is as follows: The city is of stunning beauty, with three harbours, straight thourogh-fares, squares and a theatre. The first place Alexander visited was the Temple of Athena, where Achilles spear was preserved, and touched the weapon with excitemen. Phaselis is a favourite spot for swimming and picnicking because of its cleanbeaches and crystal-clear sea.
