Loved it. I took 2 hours to explore rhe whole thing. I could only afford time for one of the big ancient cities in the delta. All the attraction are densly located making it a great me.
The staff was also kind enough to keep my heavy backpack in the backroom while I explored the remains of a civilization that once was.

Worth a visit and you can see a lot from the road and parking. Aldo walking amongst the stones shows incredible skill level and artistry

This was such a neat stop. You pay at a small building across the street from the big sites, it's cash only, and there was plenty of parking. It rained while we were there and if you're in the ruins there is no shelter, so be forewarned. The ruins were so cool.

An interesting ancient city with both the necropolis and acropolis open to exploring. Necropolis is hidden away more and those more adventurous you're able to get up close to the tombs.
Make sure you read up on Xanthos before you visit, there isn't a lot of direction or information available once there.

Magnificent site in a deplorable state. Less known than its neighbour Pătară it has immense historical vale but it is completely neglected. 5* for its value 1" for its state and maintenance. The average is 3*
