Situated 8 km south of Fethiye, it is mostly abandoned. It was anciently known in Greek as Karmylessos (), shortened to Lebessos () and pronounced in Modern Greek as Leivissi ().

These Greek-speaking Christian subjects, and their Turkish-speaking Muslim Ottoman rulers, lived in relative harmony from the end of the turbulent Ottoman conquest of the region in the 14th century until the early 20th ce ...
