The term “sacred landscape” involves all the religious, social, cultural, and economic activities in the city or the countryside. For a place to become sacred, it does not need elaborate architecture but a certain natural quality, a spring, a cave, a rock formation, or a grove which makes the place divine. Pamphylia is a region situated on the southern coast of Asia Minor. The karstic geological situation of the region resulted in the formation of caves and springs inside them; some of these were related to cultic activities as well as rivers and the worship of river gods. Some deities were worshipped as protectors of safe seafaring, especially in the region's port cities. Some epithets reveal the deities' connections to the landscape. This paper deals with the sacred landscape of Pamphylia in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, which comprises both cult places linked with natural features and human-made sacred places.
