Syedra, Ancient archaeological site in Alanya, Turkey.

Syedra's ruins extend across two zones, with the Upper City perched 400 meters above sea level and the Lower City descending toward the Mediterranean coast.

The city flourished between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD, minting its own coins labeled Syedreon during Emperor Tiberius's reign until Emperor Gallienus.

Archaeological discoveries reveal a complex urban structure with temples, a gymnasium, residential areas, and water systems supporting 5,000 inhabitants during peak times.

The archaeological site requires personal transportation to reach, located 20 kilometers east of Alanya center along the D400 route with a 5 TL entrance fee.

Five water cisterns, an ancient temple, and a Byzantine church remain preserved among the ruins, alongside a cave with early Christian baptismal frescoes.
