Listed 2 sub titles with search on: Information about the place for destination: "AMNISTOS Ancient city TURKEY".
Ruins at a town 12 km N-NW of Marmaris. Amnistos was a Rhodian deme
attached to the city of Kamiros. The demotic is fairly common in Rhodian inscriptions,
but the only evidence for the site is an epitaph of an Amnistian found ca. 1.6
km from Sogut; this is of course inconclusive, and it is not in fact certain even
that Amnistos was in the Peraea and not on the island.
The ruins at Sogut consist of a substantial fort on a headland with
a wall of mixed ashlar and polygonal masonry, the approach guarded by a tower;
on the shore of the bay below is a stretch of quay wall in good isodomic ashlar.
