Akalissus, an anticient town of Lycia, close to modern Kumluca in Antalya district . Although there is sufficient information about the ancient settlement, it is thought that the foundation of the city existed before the Hellenistic period. According to the inscriptions, Akalissos belonged to the Lycian League. In the 3rd century AD under Gordian III. the city minted its own coins. In Byzantine times Akalissos was the seat of a bishop. In the ancient city of Akalissus, which does not have much remains from the day it was founded, there are Byzantine church ruins, the base of the statue of Emperor Commodus (180-192), and sarcophagi with a triangular pediment.
