Carmylessus

ΚΑΡΜΥΛΗΣΣΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΛΥΚΙΑ
  Carmylessus (Karmulessos), a town of Lycia, placed by Strabo (p. 665) between Telmissus and the mouth of the Xanthus. After Telmissus he says, then Anticragus, an abrupt mountain on which is the small place Carmylessus, lying in a ravine. The site is unknown. (Fellows, Lycia, p. 247; Leake, Asia Minor, p. 182.)

Karmylessos

  Mentioned only by Strabo (665), who calls it an occupied site in a ravine on Mt. Antikragos. No real evidence has been found for the exact location. The elevated plain between Fethiye and Kaya (formerly Makri and Levisi) has been suggested. Here there are a number of rock-cut tombs and sarcophagi of Lycian type, but no sign of an ancient town.
