Cyaneae, Kas Overview
Cyaneae or Kyaneai is an ancient town of Lycia famous for its rock tombs and groups of sarcophagi. It is situated on the southern coastal tip of Turkey on a plateau surrounded by rocky slopes. The historical writings and inscriptions suggest that three different sites, namely Yarvu, Tousa and Ghiouristan, combine to form Cyaneae.
A well-known attraction today is the theatre, dating to the Roman and the middle ages, located in the chief place of Yarvu. Ranked as a bishopric in the 7th century, it is no longer a residential bishopric and is listed as a titular see by the Catholic Church. Reaching the place can turn adventurous if one takes the hiking trail from the village of Yarvu, which can take approximately 45 minutes.
