Destination Guides Fethiye

This is the Tomb of King Amynthas. He was believed to be one of the commanders of famous Macedonian King Alexander the Great. The rock tombs are like ships put upside down. This is Lycian style. The door of the tombs were broken by crusaders like other tombs in Anatolia, who were looking for treasure. The tomb was sculptured on a mountain looking Fethiye Bay where sailors can harbor. The dead body is lied on a rock bad (there are 4 beds in this tomb) and there is a cave made by the architect in order to enter inside the tomb. There is a writing in the door of the tomb (this is not a door that you can pass through ) Fethiye was named as Telmessos in the anthic age. Since the region is mountanous and the Bay is closed, Fethiye is a place suitable for sailors and pirates.
