Fethiye Travel Information

How, ancient ruins and rock tombs scattered around the metropolis for travelers to see, and the Fortress of the Roman Theater still stands. If you’re booking flights to Fethiye with mythology in mind, you’ll be in paradise as you walk by the peninsula of Antala and along roads that beckon scenes from Homer’s The Iliad.  
• One of the many historical monuments, called the Tomb of Amyntas, is situated on an enormous slope of the bay’s entrance. Its façade is built like an iconic temple, which seems appropriate for the legend it carries. Amyntas was believed to be a king or governor of Telmessos during the Hellenistic period, and the monument’s extravagant appearance lives up to the stories of grandeur. History buffs planning flights to Fethiye won’t be disappointed in this impressive feature.
• All along the town, ancient remnants of timely significance litter the land with stories, legends and historical depth.  The sarcophagi and fortresses are known for their epitaphs in Lycian scripture, and primitive representations of warriors in stone.

Once used as a naval base, Rhodesian knights repeatedly repaired the structure in order to keep the integrity of the form.
