ΚΥΛΛΑΝΔΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Site in Caria, not conclusively established. Kyllandos figures in
the Athenian tribute lists, down to 446 B.C., as paying the remarkably high tribute
of two talents. It is mentioned by Stephanos from Hekataios, but despite its apparent
prosperity is otherwise unrecorded, apart from a Rhodian inscription of about
200 B.C. which refers to the recovery by Rhodes of the Kyllandia. Various locations
have been proposed, most recently a site at Elmali 11 km E of the head of the
gulf of Kos. Here, on a hill some 150 m high, is a citadel with tower and an outer
wall circuit, house foundations, and sherds of Classical date. Just E of Elmali
village is a pair of architectural rock tombs similar to those at Idyma. Roman
remains appear to be lacking, and it is likely that the site was abandoned quite
early and the city refounded, under the name of Kallipolis, on the commanding
site above Kizilyaka a little to the S.
