About 8.5km northeast of Kızkalesi at Kumkuyu is the road leading 3km to the ruins of Kanlıdivane, the ancient city of Kanytelis.
Central to Kanlıdivane ('Bloody Place of Madness'), is a 60m-deep chasm where criminals were tossed to wild animals. Peering down, you'll see reliefs on the cliff walls of a six-member family (southwest) and a Roman soldier (northwest). Ruins ring the pit including four Byzantine churches and a necropolis to the northeast with a 2nd-century temple tomb .
