  • Isinda was surrounded by a wall, from which only few fragments can be seen today to the north and northeast of the site. The construction of the wall seems to be very simple and not cared much, and that it was restored several times during the centuries. There are basement signs of a bigger construction towards the center of the wall but it's impossible to guess what kind of structure it was, it could be a stoa but there are no proofs. In the acropolis you can notice two house-shaped tombs with Lycian inscriptions on them, several rock tombs and sarcofagi from the Hellenistic and Roman periods scattered around, and some cisterns. Nothing much left from the rest of the city. The views from the acropolis towards Kas town is breathtaking. http://www.allaboutturkey.com/isinda.htm
