Lycia



         


Lycia is also the name of a musical group; see Lycia (band).

Lycia is a region on the southern coast of Turkey, the Teke Peninsula. Mountainous and densely forested, Lycia was never unified into a single territory in antiquity, but remained a tightly-knit confederation of fiercely resistant cities. Turkey's first waymarked long-distance footpath, the Lycian Way, follows part of the coast of the region.
