The place is largely unexplored. Detailed information about the ancient Milyos could not be found on the web. Even the Austrian explorer Karl Graf Lanckoroński does not mention the place in his two volumes about Pamphylia and Pisidia.

The Theater | |||
The theatre's upper rows of seats are partly hewn into the rock, partly built into the natural slope. The side of the stage house facing the Agora is quite well preserved. |

You can reach Milyos
via the national road D685 from Antalya to Isparta. About 50 km
after the junction of the D685 from the coastal road D400 near the
airport Antalya you reach the clearly marked junction to Milyas /
Kocaaliler at the northern end of the Karacaören reservoir on your
left. |
