Intriguing Fethiye Tombs

admin

When you arrive in the city you will find the Intriguing Fethiye Tombs. The largest one is the Tomb of Amyntas. You go to the busy center of the city which is very touristy but also interesting and then walk to the very back streets up the hill and that’s where you will find the tombs. You can get an inexpensive hotel down in the city center and just walk around. It’s kind of a fun place to stay.

This is the Tomb of Amyntas. They charge €3 to walk up the steps and then over the rocks for the next 5 m. The two obviously has been emptied but you get a great view of the city and the port from up here.

I guess these also are tunes but I did not walk up here of course.

In town, like with the other ports along the Aegean/Mediterranean seas, you will find tour boats for day trips or longer, fishing trips and feasting adventures. Some of them have phone numbers posted outside so you can call and make arrangements.

I’m not sure what these are. I have to ask somebody
The inside of the tomb. It seems like quite a large endeavor for such a small space. But I guess the people they were building these for were considered respected.
I wonder what this mark on the wall indicates
I took this photo just because I wanted to show you this gas station attendant is washing the car windshield. I haven’t seen that level of service since Japan. The process at the gas station is to get the attention of the attendant so he can fill the tank. And normally he will give you a printout with a QR code which you take into the shop to have it scanned and they will print out two receipts, one which they stamp and then is to be handed to the attendant to allow you to leave.
