Sidyma was an ancient city in the Lycia region of Asia Minor near today's Dodurga in the Fethiye district in the Turkish province of Muğla .
Little is known about the city's early history. Apparently it belonged in the 5th century BC. At the Attic League and in the 2nd century BC. The Lycian League, as shown by coins. The archaeological remains, sacred buildings, a portico, remains of the acropolis and a theater as well as numerous high tombs and sarcophagi belong to the Roman Empire. In late antiquity, Sidyma was the seat of a bishop; The titular bishopric Sidyma of the Roman Catholic Church goes back to the diocese .
