PMR069K-15 Turkey, Lycia, Fethiye: ancient rock tombs, carved out of the cliffs by Lycians. The largest, the Tomb of Amyntas, in the style of a Greek Ionic temple, dates back to the 4th century BC. All have been plundered and many used as dwellings in Byzantine times. Here: view of the cliffs with their rock tombs, and the town of Fethiye spread out below. It stands on the site of the antique "Telmessos". Keywords: cities of antiquity, archeological excavations, burial chambers, Lycia

Turkey, Lycia, Fethiye: ancient rock tombs, carved out of the

cliffs by Lycians. The largest, the Tomb of Amyntas, in the style of a Greek Ionic temple, dates back to the 4th century BC. All have been plundered and many used as dwellings in Byzantine times. Here: view of the cliffs with their rock tombs, and the town of Fethiye spread out below. It stands on the site of the antique "Telmessos".
