Letoon

The religious complex contains three main temples dedicated to Leto, Apollo, and Artemis, arranged in a systematic layout within the central area.

Established in the 7th century BCE, Letoon evolved from an Anatolian goddess sanctuary to become a central religious site for the Lycian Union.

The temples showcase architectural elements of both Doric and Ionic orders, reflecting the integration of Greek influences into Lycian religious practices.

The archaeological site maintains regular operating hours from 8:30 to 19:30 during summer months and 8:30 to 17:30 in winter, with wheelchair access.

A trilingual inscription from 337 BCE near Apollo's temple contains text in Lycian, Greek, and Aramaic, providing insights into ancient languages.
