Phoenicus (Lycia)


Phoenicus or Phoinikous, also known as Phoenice or Phoinike, was a port of ancient Lycia, a little to the east of Patara; it was scarcely distant from the latter place, and surrounded on all sides by high cliffs. In the war against Antiochus III the Great, a Roman fleet took its station there with a view of taking Patara.
Its site is located near the modern Kalkan.
