Note 6 at Acts 27:5: Myra was one of the principal cities of Lycia (see note 7 at this verse) and the city where Paul changed ships on his voyage to Rome. It was built on cliffs about two miles inland but located at the mouth of a navigable river with an excellent harbor.

Note 7 at Acts 27:5: Lycia was the southernmost province of Asia Minor or the Biblical Asia (see note 3 at Acts 16:6, p. 666). It was bounded on the north by Phrygia (see note 15 at Acts 2:10, p. 578; Acts 16:6; 18:23), Pisidia (see note 1 at Acts 13:14, p. 649; Acts 14:24), and Pamphylia (see note 2 at Acts 13:13, p. 650).

On Paul's third missionary journey, he landed at Patara (see note 3 at Acts 21:1, p. ???), one of Lycia's principal cities, on his way to Jerusalem. Myra (see note 6 at this verse) was another major city of Lycia where Paul changed ships on his journey to Rome.
