Loryma, Archaeological site in Muğla Province, Turkey.
The ancient ruins of Loryma contain stone fortifications, towers, and foundations that demonstrate advanced engineering methods from the Hellenistic period.
Located near Rhodes, Loryma functioned as a strategic naval base and trading port during the Hellenistic period, connecting maritime routes across the Mediterranean.
Archaeological excavations at Loryma have uncovered pottery, tools, and inscriptions that reveal extensive trade connections with other Mediterranean civilizations.
The archaeological site requires sturdy walking shoes and water supplies, as the terrain includes uneven surfaces and exposed areas without shade.
The fortification walls of Loryma extend directly into the sea, creating a natural harbor that served both military and commercial vessels in ancient times.
