Audio Guide of the Amyntas Rock Tombs

The tombs are open 24 hours a day since they are an outdoor site, but it is recommended to visit during daylight for greater safety. They are easily accessed on foot from the center of Fethiye by climbing some steep stairs; use this Google Maps link to locate them.

Entry is completely free, making them ideal for tight budgets. There are no ticket booths or hidden fees, just enjoy the historic site.

A typical visit lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, enough to explore the main tombs and enjoy the panoramic views. If you go with an audio guide, you can extend it to 45-90 minutes for more details.

These 4th-century BC Lycian tombs are a stunning example of ancient funerary architecture, with the main tomb dedicated to Amyntas, a local leader. They represent the rich heritage of ancient Lycia and offer spectacular views over Fethiye. More info on the Turkish Ministry of Culture website.

Sunrise or sunset are ideal for the magical lighting and cooler temperatures; avoid midday in summer due to the intense heat. Spring (April-June) or autumn (September-October) are the best times of year.

Access involves climbing steep and uneven stairs, so it is not recommended for wheelchairs or serious mobility issues. The views from below are impressive if you cannot climb up, and there are taxi options to the base.

Nearby you will find Fethiye Castle, the harbor with boats to Ölüdeniz, and the Fethiye Archaeological Museum. Combine with a visit to the Blue Lagoon in Ölüdeniz, just 15 km away.

Bring comfortable shoes, water, and sunscreen; climb early to avoid the crowds. Download an IAudioguia audio guide to enrich the experience with detailed stories in English.
