Siderus (Lycia)
Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Ancient Lycian port town
Siderus (also known as Siderous;
Crambousa and the same distance from Moron Hydor.[5]
There was a promontory of the same name, which is identified by modern scholars as Adrasan Burnu in modern Turkey.[4][6] 19th century writers William Martin Leake and William Smith equated the site of Siderus with that of Olympus.[7] However, modern scholars place Siderus at Ceneviz Limanı.[4]
