Apollonia is approached from the village Kilincli, the main road is well made but a further drive of one kilometre on an unmade road leads towards the site. 

The site is approached by a climb of some one hundred meters, mainly following goat tracks! It is probable that the visitor may have to manoeuvre around a camel and also evade many bee- hives. The site itself is heavily covered by fairly dense scrub and trees and requires a certain amount of agility to get to the top. Once arriving one is struck by the large number of sarcophagi and other tombs including some pillar tombs. However no inscriptions appear to be visible.

There is an impressive wall around the site.

Apollania is the Greek name for this site, the Lycian name being unknown. Evidence for the name comes from inscriptions on the site referring to Aperlites from Apollonia and coins with the inscription APO. Only independent cities were able to strike their own coinage. Dedications to Augustus and Tiberius from the people of Apollonia also substantiate the name, even if Roman rather than Greek.

The city is easily visible from the village of Kilincli which lies on the southern minor road between Kas and Kale and before arriving at Ucagiz.

The Village

Within the walled area on the summit of the hill is a rather ruinous theatre showing some ten rows of seats seating about 2000 people.

There is a large reservoir as well as a number of cisterns.
There are many buildings which require a more detailed archaeological survey to place them in the context of the site.
For example there is a Byzantine church, it could of course have been converted from a Hellenistic temple. 

Besides the many sarcophagi there are six Lycian pillar tombs and one rock tomb with a Greek inscription.
There are also the remains of an aquaduct, but that must be Greek or Roman.

The villagers are very helpful and any advance by them should be appreciated not deprecated!
