    The early history of the settlement is obscure, in spite of an exploratory survey carried out, with permission of the Turkish authorities, by the British Institute at Ankara (BIAA) in 1974–76.[1] It seems that Oinoanda became a colony of Termessos about 200-190 BC and was also called Termessos Minor (or Termessos i pros Oinoanda). Oenoanda was the most southerly of the Kibyran Tetrapoleis in the Hellenistic Period, which was dissolved by L. Licinius Murena in 84 BCE, whereupon Oenoanda became part of the koinon of Lycia, as its inscriptions abundantly demonstrate. Diogenes carved a summary of the philosophy of Epicurus onto a portico wall, which originally extended about 80 meters. The inscription sets out Epicurus' teachings on physics, epistemology, and ethics. It was originally about 25,000 words long and filled 260 square meters of wall space. The inscription has been assigned on epigraphic grounds to the Hadrianic period, 117–138 CE.The stoa was dismantled in the second half of the third century CE to make room for a defensive wall; previously the site had been undefended.

    Our guide Fatih picked us up in Antalya and drove us to the small town of Incealiler from where we started our climb up to the remains of the ancient city of Oinoanda. It's a site not widely known but very much worth a visit. In Oinoanda, which means rich in wine or rich in vines, the wealthy Epicurian philosopher Diogenes donated a large inscription explaining Epicurus’ teachings. It was carved in the wall of a local stoa. Parts of the inscription have been recovered and are kept secure in a warehouse on site but are not on public display. However there’s lots more to see. The Hellenistic city wall, the theater, sarcophagi, the remains of the esplanade (the upper agora where Diogenes’ stoa most likely stood), lime stone joints for the pipes that supplied the city with water, several inscribed stones, the remains of a defensive wall to the north of the city. It’s a very impressive and powerful experience to walk among these ruins with no other people around you to remind you that you’re in the 21st century and not the second. We can highly recommend visiting Oinoanda to anyone interested in classical times. The climb is not very steep but we do advise wearing proper walking shoes. Fatih is a most excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, flexible and friendly. Very easy to get in touch with and quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely return to Turkey and book another tour with Overland Travel.
