Historical background
LYCIA - PHASELIS
(5th - 4th century BC)
Phaselis, of Dorian origin, the only Greek city in the region, was located on the eastern coast of Lycia. Founded in 690 BC by settlers from Rhodes Island, its site was chosen because of its port, in an inhospitable region, which allowed its development and to play an important commercial role. Phaselis played an important role in the 3rd century against Rhodes and experienced a period of unparalleled prosperity..
