Located on the Fethiye-Kaş highway, in the town of Kınık, 46 km from Fethiye, the city was founded on two hills overlooking the plain by the Xanthos River (Eşen Stream). The first is the Lycian Acropolis, surrounded by a wall rising from the edge of the Eşen Stream in the form of a steep cliff, and the second is the Roman Acropolis, which is higher and wider in the north. The name of Xanthos, which is described as the administrative center of the Lycian League, is mentioned as ARNNA in the inscriptions written in Lycian language.
