Teimiussa Attractions

|
The fishing village of Üçagiz, originally Tristoma, lies in Tristomas Bay and well sheltered from the open sea. The bay is situated to the west of Kas next to the ancient settlement of Teimiussa, which as early as fourth century B.C. was under the command of the Lycian ruler Perikles von Limyra. As well as a few relics on the acropolis, a settlement in the east and a 50m/164ft harbor wall (outside the village under water), there are also two burial grounds one to the north and one to the east. Many of the graves which include family tombs and sarcophagi belong to citizens of Myra and Kyaneai.
