Hydai

Western Asia

Hydai, also called Kydai, was a town of ancient Caria, in what is now southwestern Turkey, known only from epigraphic evidence rather than surviving ancient texts. It was a polis and a member of the Delian League, and partial excavation of its site near modern Damlarbogaz has recovered artifacts now displayed at the Milas Museum.
