| In antiquity (400 BC), Fethiye had been the Lycian town of Telmessos and Lycia�s principal port. Because of earthquakes, the necropolis on the cliffs behind the town was now virtually all that remained of ancient Telmessos. We walked up to the freestanding Ionian temple tomb of Amyntas, and inside the tomb there were three stone benches where bodies had once laid. The craftsmanship on the tomb was remarkable, from the detail on the fa�ade to the huge funeral door. From the tomb, the view of the city and harbor was spectacular and our boat could be vaguely seen anchored in the far left of the harbor behind the marina. |
