Lycian Rock Tombs of Telmessos

On the southern slope of the mountain rising above modern-day Fethiye, a unique burial complex is carved — the Lycian Rock Tombs. This necropolis, dating back to the 4th century BC, is part of the ancient city of Telmessos, one of the largest port centers of the Lycian civilization. Unlike the famous Tomb of Amyntas, which dominates the rock massif and is visible from afar, the other tombs of the complex are less monumental but no less interesting to study.
