Kadyanda (Cadianda)

This guide to Kadyanda, the hilltop Lycian ruin above Muğla, follows a city that survived for over a thousand years without a river, relying entirely on rainwater caught in deep rock-cut cisterns. You'll hear how that system fed a Roman bathhouse and a stadium, and what began going wrong for the city around the year seven hundred as earthquakes shook its theatre loose. Look for the cistern shafts near the old bathhouse, some so deep guides rope them off.
