![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Phoenician_inscription_alanya.jpg/220px-Phoenician_inscription_alanya.jpg)
Laertes (Ancient Greek: Λαέρτης)[1] was a town of ancient Cilicia.[2] Some have supposed that the philosopher Diogenes Laërtius was from this town.[3][4] Strabo called it a stronghold.[5]
Its site is located near Cebelires, in Asiatic Turkey.[2][6] Archaeologists have excavated the site; antiquities may be found at the Alanya Archaeological Museum.
