Aytap, Ancient harbor ruins along Mediterranean coast in Antalya Province, Turkey.

The archaeological site stretches along both sides of a coastal road, featuring visible remnants of temples, administrative buildings, and a Byzantine church with surviving frescoes.

Established during the first century CE by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the last king of Commagene, the city minted its own coins from Emperor Trajan to Valerian I.

The necropolis contains monumental tombs and smaller graves with barreled vaults, reflecting burial practices of ancient Mediterranean civilizations.

Located between Alanya and Gazipasa, the site requires sturdy footwear as visitors need to navigate overgrown paths and climb slopes to access different structures.

The ancient settlement bears traces of a sophisticated sewerage system connected to public baths, demonstrating advanced engineering capabilities of past inhabitants.
