Amos Ancient City
Amos Antik Kenti
A hilltop ruin of an ancient Greek Carian city, with a seaside theatre overlooking Kumlubük and Turunç bays. A great spot for sunset.
Amos was a Carian city-state under Rhodian control from the 4th century BC onward. The site sits on a hilltop north of Kumlubük Bay and preserves city walls, towers, temple foundations and a small theatre facing the sea, with wild olive trees growing between the stone seats. From the theatre you can overlook both Kumlubük and Turunç bays, and the view is especially beautiful at sunset. Entry is free and there are no facilities. It's a 15–20 minute walk up a dirt track from the Kumlubük road, so wear trainers and bring water.
