About Finike
"Finike" refers to thePhoenicians, who traded here in the 5th century BC. A series of ruined Lycian / Roman cities lie in the hills backing the coast; they're little excavated, and perhaps more remain to be discovered beneath river mud and undergrowth. Tourism is on a small scale and the main business iscitrusproduction - several pensions and other businesses are named "Portakal", the Turkish word for an orange. These had already reached the Levant and Mediterranean from China by Roman times, but it was only in the 10th century AD that the Arabs of Andalusia and Portugal developed large-scale cultivation, and fruit and agricultural techniques then returned east.
