The Lycian rock-cut tombs are older than the Lycian sarcophagi in the necropolis.
As in many Lycian cities, the best preserved monuments in Simena are the tombs. A few of the classical Lycian type rock-cut tombs around the acropolis hill have Lycian inscriptions. It is possible to see many sarcophagi with ogival shaped lids in the necropolis area to the east of the hill.
