19. Iotape

 

Iotape is a Roman city. The ruins include baths, an acropolis, a church, a necropolis and a small harbour.  It provides a beautiful backdrop for swimming in the sea.

 

  

 

History

 

Iotape was named in honour of the wife of King Antiochus. The city minted its own coins, between about 38 A.D. and 70 A.D. Sadly, the ancient site was damaged by the cultivation of bananas and was split in two by the main Alanya-Gazipaşa highway.
