Fethiye | Book the Boat

Fethiye, located on the Lycian and Carian border was called Telmessos in ancient times. The city was very prominent and the center of prophecy, pledged to Apollon. That the city life was very rich and highly cultured during the Hellenistic and Roman periods is evident from the existing monuments. Today the majority of ancient ruins in Telmessos are rock-tombs, Lycian - type sarcophagi, the fortress and the Roman Theatre. The peninsula lying between Fethiye and Antalya was known as Lycia in the ancient times.
