Listed 2 sub titles with search on: Information about the place for destination: "KASARA Ancient city TURKEY".
Town in Caria, near the tip of the Loryma peninsula SW of Marmaris.
Kasara was (at least after 408 B.C.) a Rhodian deme which included Loryma and
much of the S end of the peninsula. Whether it also included the island of Syme
is more doubtful. As a deme it was attached to the city of Kamiros, not Lindos.
The site occupies a low hill in a valley running across the peninsula.
The remains consist merely of a stretch of circuit wall in bossed ashlar, and
two specimens of the curious stepped pyramidal bases which appear to be found
exclusively in the immediate neighborhood; their purpose remains uncertain.
