Amyntas King Tomb and Rock Tombs

After all these years, remains of the Rock Tombs had become an important part of Anatolian history.

Remarkable Lycian Tombs are located in the city center, being a part of the daily life; and not in the outer parts of the town. As a Travel Agency in Fethiye, we respect to those who helped maintain the Rock Tombs during centuries.
