History
A small headland on Turkey's southern coast: modern Fığla/Fidan Burnu. Recent photgrammetrical, archaeological survey, and archival work indicates that this coastal feature was probably exploited as a port facility -- including construction of a Hellenistic era breakwater in the Aynalıgöl Koyu on the southeast side of the peninsula -- for the nearby city of Ptolemais.
