It was the capital city of Lycian Union beginning in 168 BC. Findings from the acropolis indicate that the city's history extends to 8th century BC. The city was a proud example of Lycian resistance during the siege by Harpagos of the Persians in 545 BC, but failed to prevent its capture. After being conquered by Alexander the Great, it was ruled by Seluicids and Romans. The city saw its greatest development under the Romans who practically rebuilt the whole city in 42 BC after the destruction caused by Brutus. It was then an Imperial Province together with Pamphylia until it temporarily gained independence under Nero.

In 73-74 AD it again was annexed into the Province of Lycia - Pamphylia. In Byzantine times the city walls were renovated and a monastery was built at the top of the hill on the north. It was also an Episcopal center.
