Isinda (Lycia)

Isinda ( Greek  Ἴσινδα ) was an ancient city in the Lycia region of Asia Minor near today's Belenli in Turkey.

Isinda formed a political network (Sympolitie) with its three neighboring cities Aperlai (which played the leading role), Apollonia and Simena . The city was on a hill above the current village of Belenli, where remains of a city wall and other buildings have been preserved, as well as some Lycian pillar and rock tombs.
