Octapolis was an ancient Greek city and a member of the Lycian League, located near Göcek. Today, the site features scattered ruins including foundations of buildings, a possible agora, and remnants of city walls. The serene, overgrown setting invites exploration and reflection on its historical significance. Unlike more developed sites, Octapolis offers a raw, uncommercialized experience for those interested in Lycian history and archaeology.
