Theimussa

The actual shelter for yachts is Theimussa, or present day Ucagiz, which is a landlocked bay surrounded by green hills. Though the ruins of the ancient city of Theimussa are located here, very little is known of its history. One inscription indicates that it goes back to the 4th century B.C. Here you will mostly come across the ruins of a necropolis, whereas on the coast of this village one can also find a door with its frame still intact. You will also see the remains of a tower.

Right behind the quay are a pair of tombs. The oldest sarcophagus dates from the 4th century B.C. and is shaped like a house. Over it is a portrait of a young man. The inscription tells us it belonged to "Kluwanimi." To the east, above the sea are several sarcophagi which seem to have been stacked on top of each other. The majority of these tombs belong to either the Hellenistic or Roman periods. The inscriptions on the tombs indicate that the owners were citizens of either Cyaenai or Myra.
