Isinda, Archaeological site in Belenli village, Antalya Province, Turkey.

The ruins of Isinda spread across a hilltop, featuring ancient city walls, rock tombs, and numerous water cisterns carved into limestone formations.

The settlement of Isinda flourished before 330 BCE and formed a political alliance with neighboring cities Aperlae, Apollonia, and Simena in ancient Lycia.

The archaeological remains include house-tombs with inscriptions in the Lycian language and Gothic sarcophagi, reflecting regional burial traditions.

The site stands 90 meters above Belenli village and requires a 6-kilometer journey from Kaş, with regular bus connections available from Antalya.

Many inhabitants of Isinda relocated to Antiphellos during the Roman period, leading to the gradual abandonment of this mountain settlement.
