FETHIYE
| Fethiye
is one of the most popular resorts due to its
extreme loveliness. Set on a wide bay, strewn with
many islands. Fethiye is 135 kms southwest of
Marmaris and has an outstanding and busy marina. The
ancient name of the city is Telmessos and you will
see a fortress on the hill overlooking the city
which was built by Knights of Rhodes. Fethiye is
known for its rock tombs carved into the faces of
the cliffs by the Lycians. These are elaborately
carved and an especially remarkable; one is the tomb
of Amnytas dating from the 4th century BC built in
Doric architectural style. It is worth well
visiting. Other historical places in the city are
the Sarcopaghi and the Fethiye Tower. |
