Lydae or Lydai (Ancient Greek: Λύδαι) was a town of ancient Caria or Lycia. Ptolemy notes the city in Lycia under the name Chydae.[1] The Stadiasmus Maris Magni calls the city Clydae or Klydai (Κλυδαί) and places it in Caria.[2] The family of Gaius Iulius Heliodoros from Lydae, which produced Lycian Federal Priests, an archiphylax, and a Roman Senator, is well-documented.[3] The demoi (subordinate urban units) of Lydae, Arymaxa and Kreneis are known in Roman imperial times; they used to be separate communities that merged with Lydae via sympoliteia.
Its site is located on the modern Kapıdağ Peninsula.[4][5] There are extensive Roman and Byzantine ruins. These include a theatre and an agora. Numerous tombs and mausoleums are scattered across the ruins.[6]
