History
Teimiussa, also spelt Teimioussa or Timiussa, also known as Tristomon, was a port town of ancient Lycia, near the ancient settlement Tyberissus. The name is not attested in history, but is derived from epigraphic and other evidence. This combination of harbor and inland location is the focus of archaeological exploration. Among the finds are ancient tombs.
