IDYROS
IDYROS , AN IMPORTANT HARBOUR FOR ANCIENT MARINERS
At the heart of Kemer, near the marina and Ayisgi Beach
stand the ruins of the Ancient City of Idyros. Idyros, as a good harbor was one
of the important waypoints for coastal sea journeys during the Antiquity. Among
the ruins it is possible to see an early Roman watchtower, a basilica dating to
the 3rd century AD, a bridge as well as a church, believed to be
from Byzantine Period, with its impressive, geometric floor decorations made of
large and colourful mosaic pieces.
