Telmessos or Telmessus (; ; ), also Telmissus (), later Anastasiopolis (), then Makri or Macre (), was the largest city in Lycia, near the Carian border, and is sometimes confused with Telmessos in Caria. It was called Telebehi in the Lycian language. The well-protected harbor of Telmessos is separated from the Gulf of Telmessos by an island.
