Description

Erymna is an ancient city on a hill between Ormana Village and Ürünlü Village in Antalya province. Erymna is in Pamphylia or Pisidia, 18 km west of Akseki. Its location is attested both by the continuity of its name (Orymna in Hierocles and Notitiae) and by an inscription found here.

Erymna is thought to have been a member of the Katenneis tribe mentioned by Strabo (570) in earlier times. It later became an independent city with a normal Greek structure, but never issued its own coinage.

The existing ruins are very limited. The acropolis hill is pointed, but not high; at its foot are the foundations of a colonnaded building built of very large stones. Apart from this, there is only a sarcophagus in the village and various architectural stones, including an inscription identifying the site, and the remains of various towers and fortresses belonging to the city are noteworthy.
