Destination
Kadyana
Because of the suffix –Nd in the name of Kadyanda, which is read as Kadawanti in Lycian inscriptions, it can be said that its foundation date goes back to the 3rd millennium B.C. However, the oldest remains on the surface that have survived from the ancient city to the present day do not go back earlier than the 5th century B.C. At the Kadyanda ruins, a section of the city walls surrounding the city, rock tombs and some inscriptions are the remains dated to the earliest period.
