Finike

Finike, a perfect blend of history, nature and sea, is a tourism spot in Antalya Province. The district draws attention with the ruins of Limyra and Arykanda ancient cities. It is also famous for its oranges.

It is founded with the name Phoinikos at the entrance of Aykiri (Arykandos) Brook in the 5th century B.C. It is supposed that the name ‘Finike’ comes from the Phoenicians who used the region as a trade centre. Limyra, the capital city of the region, was known as the harbour where the export of its agricultural produces was carried out.
