The Ancient City of Etenna is located in Sırtköy Mahallesi, Manavgat District, Antalya Province. In the Ancient City of Etenna, which is 31 kilometers from Manavgat and situated 900 metres above sea level, the first thing that attracts attention among the ancient ruins in the pine forests is the city walls surrounding the city. Rather than showing Pamphylian characteristics, the ruins bear the characteristics of a Pisidian City compared to other coastal ancient cities. This acropolis city has been named "Dede Kalesi" by the local people. Hereon, basilica, agora, church, bath, rock tombs and cisterns are the important ruins of the city. Although there is not much information about the history of the city, it is thought to have shared the same history and fate as the other acropolis cities in the surrounding area. Etenna is the Pisidian city that minted coins after Selge. Nature walks can be taken in and around the Ancient City of Etenna.

According to Wikipedia

Etenna was an ancient city of the late Roman province of Pamphylia Prima. Polybius earlier treated it as part of Pisidia and reported that in 218 BC the community in the Pisidian highlands above Side furnished 8,000 hoplites for Achaeus, a claimant against the Seleucid throne.
