- The Tomb of Amyntas, also known as the Fethiye Tomb, is an ancient Greek rock-hewn tomb at ancient Telmessos, in Lycia, currently in the district of Fethiye in Muğla Province, located in the Aegean region of Turkey.
Modern Fethiye is located on the site of the Ancient Greek city of Telmessos, with the Tomb of Amyntas located in the south side of the city in the mountainside, in the base of the mountain. The impressive looking tomb was built in 350 BC, and was named after the Greek inscription on the side of it which reads "Amyntou tou Ermagiou", which translated to English means "Amyntas, son of Hermagios".
The tomb was built by the Lycians, the people who lived in this area of Turkey at the time. The Lycians were never members of a specific country, but rather a tightly-knit confederation of independent city-states, which included Telmessos.

It's a nice place and valuable to visit there.
It was much bigger than I had imagined when I saw it up close.
I wonder why there are graffiti on such a beautiful tombs.
Yes, it's quite impressive in size but unfortunately the main tomb has a lot of graffiti on it.
Only brainless idiots will put grafiti... 🤮🤬😖
Cause there is no education.. Everything there is Greek.. They hate us that's why they destroy everything
