The Tomb of Amyntas is an impressive Lycian rock-cut tomb dating back to the 4th century BC, carved directly into a steep cliff face above modern Fethiye. Its facade resembles a small temple with two Ionic columns and a pediment, inscribed with the name 'Amyntas son of Hermapias.' Visitors can climb the stairs to the tomb's entrance for close-up views of the intricate stonework and enjoy sweeping vistas of Fethiye Bay and the surrounding mountains. It's one of the best-preserved Lycian tombs in the region.
