Ilistra ( Ancient Greek: Ἴλιστρα) was a town of ancient Lycaonia, inhabited in Roman and Byzantine times. [1] It was on the road from Laranda to Isaura, which is still in existence. [2] Ilistra became a seat of a bishop; no longer a residential bishopric, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. [3]
Its site is located near Yollarbaşı, Karaman Province, Turkey. [1] [4]
