Located near Babadağ within the boundaries of Sarıgerme Beach in the Ortaca district of Muğla, Pisilis is one of the small yet historically significant port cities of ancient Caria. Also referred to as Panormos (Πάνορμος) in ancient sources, the city is situated between Kalynda and Kaunos in the writings of the historian Strabo.
Although the ruins of Pisilis found today right next to Sarıgerme’s golden sands now lie within the grounds of the Iber Hotel and the site is not as widely known as other major ancient cities in the region, it remains a crucial location for understanding the coastal settlement patterns of the Carian civilization. Its maritime connections to key centers of the era, such as Kaunos and Kalynda, indicate that the city also served as a commercial transit point.
Intertwined with the natural beauty of Sarıgerme, this ancient site offers a unique opportunity for discovery to visitors wishing to combine a beach holiday with history. Encountering traces of the Carian era while sunbathing by the sea transforms Sarıgerme from a mere beach resort into a cultural destination.
Far from the crowded routes of famous ancient cities, Pisilis one of Ortaca’s lesser-known historical treasures is a tranquil spot well worth exploring for both nature and history enthusiasts.
