Mothers are the building blocks of everything. Let us tell the story of the #mother who is the foundation of this city.
Letoon was founded in the name of #Leto, the mother of Artemis and Apollo. According to mythology, Leto, who fled from Hera when Zeus fell in love with her, gave birth to her children on the island of Delos. Then she followed the Xanthos River and wandered to the place where the Temple of Leto is located. An unhappy end awaited the people who did not allow her to bathe her children in the spring there. It is not difficult to believe that mothers can turn a whole village into frogs for the sake of their children.
The Letoon Archaeological Site has been on the #UNESCO World Heritage List since 1988, and when you see it, you will not believe that there is such a story behind it.
You should definitely see this ancient city with its temples and mosaics.
