About
Euthenae or Euthenai (Ancient Greek: Εὐθηναί) or Euthena was a coastal town of ancient Caria, on the Ceramicus Sinus. Located 9 km north of Marmaris, likely holds the remains of a Rhodian Peraia settlement, which was associated with the city of Camirus. This site appears to be referenced by Pomponius Mela, Pliny the Elder and Stephanus of Byzantium. At the peak's summit, there is a walled citadel with small forts at both ends. The steep hillside below is covered with tightly packed ruins of a sizable town, constructed on terraces.
