Akkale is a
late antique / Byzantine harbor town with numerous buildings constructed in
beautifully coursed ashlar masonry and with a very unusual Christian mausoleum
whose plan is based on a Syrian paradigm.
This site, which is located between the fortifications at Korykos and
Lamas on the Mediterranean Sea, was partially occupied in the medieval period.
