Idebessos is a Lycian city located near Kozağacı Mevkii, Karacaören Mahallesi, north of Kumluca district center. It lies 7 km north of Akalissos and northwest of Kormos. The "ss" in its name suggests that there was another settlement much earlier than the ruins suggest. However, the earliest historical information is from the Lycian League period. Although there is not much information about the settlement in the ancient sources, it is known that they formed a sympoliteia (political union) with Akalissos and Kormos; Akalissos was the leader. The city, which took the name Edebessos after the Roman Period, is referred to as a bishopric called Lebissos/Lemissos within the Metropolis of Myra during the Christian period.

Edebessos, a very small settlement, was built on a narrow ridge extending in the north-south direction parallel to Bey Mountain, which dominates the Alakır Stream. The ruins are scattered on both slopes of a steeply descending hill, some facing west and some facing east, protected by a city wall. Roman and Byzantine traces can be seen on the city walls. To the west of the city wall is a small theater overlooking the mountain. The theater is 30 meters in diameter and is thought to have a capacity of 600-700 people. Five seating rows can be seen in the cavea, but there is no trace of the stage building. The theater is dated to the Hellenistic Period due to its plan. The building about 70 m north of the theater is a bathhouse. The small-sized structure was built in the tradition of Lycian baths.

When we go towards the north, we come across a basilica which has survived to the present day in a very damaged condition. This small basilica belongs to the Middle Ages.

The city walls can be traced around the acropolis in the southeast. The city walls behind the theater, which mostly contain residences, official buildings and mausoleums, created a secure area in this section. Sarcophagi can be seen inside and outside the city walls. Among the sarcophagi, of which at least 50 can be counted, the most remarkable are the triple sarcophagus clusters sitting on "U" shaped exedra. The majority of the plain sarcophagi, some of which have tabula ansatali, are decorated with Pisidian shields with or without spears on their side faces.
