Fethiye's Ancient Cities: From Tlos to Amyntas

The Amyntas rock tombs

Lycian tombs carved into the cliffs just above Fethiye town centre. You climb up by steps; the view over the bay is especially beautiful at sunset.

The ancient city of Tlos

One of Lycia's oldest settlements, Tlos sits on a high hill on the road to Saklıkent. You can see rock tombs, a theatre and the remains of baths. It's visited together with Saklıkent tours.

Kayaköy

An abandoned village of stone houses between Fethiye and Ölüdeniz. Walking among the hundreds of houses spread across the hillsides is a striking experience.

The Lycian Way

A long-distance walking route starting in Fethiye and running to Antalya. The Ölüdeniz – Faralya section is popular for short hikes.
