A Journey into Rock and History: Amintas Rock Tombs (Fethiye, Türkiye)
Fethiye is a city that blends nature, history, and culture — and among its most captivating historical landmarks stands the Amintas Rock Tombs.
As you approach the cliffs, the view of these Lycian-era rock-carved tombs carved into the high slopes greets you like a silent monument from centuries past. The architectural elegance of these structures, carved delicately into stone with remarkable craftsmanship, is truly admirable.
Unfortunately, not all visitors have shown the same respect. Due to vandalism by irresponsible individuals, some areas have been damaged, which is heartbreaking given the historical value of the site.
Tip: Especially during hot summer months, climbing the steep steps can be challenging — bring water with you and go early if possible.
From the tombs, the panoramic view of Fethiye is breathtaking — a perfect spot for photography lovers and those seeking a quiet historical escape.
