Editor's Note
The city is located on Meryemlik hill, near the village of Sütleğen in Kaş. Although a relatively small settlement, it was a member of the Lycian League and minted coins in its own name in the 2nd century BC. The city is mentioned on the Patara Road Monument, which shows it lay at the junction of the roads from Xanthos and Kandyba to Elmalı. The city's leading family, the Dionysii, produced numerous Lyciarchs in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. No excavation work has yet been carried out at Nisa. Almost all of the few visible structures in the city date from the Roman period.
