Its story

The Tomb of Amyntas is the most magnificent monument in the necropolis of ancient Telmessos (present-day Fethiye). The facade carved into the sheer rock face imitates the front of an Ionic temple with two columns. The inscription on the facade shows that the tomb belonged to Amyntas, son of Hermapias. From the tomb, reached by stairs, you can see the city and the bay; at sunset the facade turns a reddish color.
