Iotape Ancient City is on the Mediterranean coast. It is 33 kilometers east of Alanya, on the Gazipaşa Road. The name of Iotape, a coastal city of Cilicia and also called Aytap by the people of the region, was named after King of Commagene IV, who lived between 38-72 years. It is descended from Iotape, wife of Antiochus.
The city's structures minted coins in their name from the Roman Emperors Trajan to Valerian in Antiquity, and they have been largely destroyed until today.
A high promontory extending towards the sea forms the acropolis of the city. Liman Street is in the valley where the acropolis is connected to the land. It is understood from the pedestals that there were three-stepped crepis on both sides of the street and statues in between. The inscriptions on the statues mention successful athletes and philanthropists of the city. There is a three-nave basilica in the bay to the east of the acropolis with a rectangular plan.
The most remarkable structure of the Iotape Ancient City survived is the bath. The sewerage system of the bath has also been preserved until today. To the south of the Antalya-Mersin Highway, which passes through the middle of the city, there is a temple ruin measuring 8 meters by 12.5 meters. In the necropolis on the eastern and northern hills of the city, there are small vaulted tomb structures and mausoleums.
To the south of the Iotape Ancient City, there is a lovely cove where you can swim and camp with a tent. This calm cove fascinates its visitors with its deep blue clear sea. It will be a perfect resting point after you visit the ancient city.
