2025 Karakecililer Mahallesi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#favouriteitinerary Perched above the vibrant town of Fethiye, the Amintas Kaya Mezarları (Amintas Rock Tombs) are one of the most striking ancient sites in the region. These tombs, carved into the rock face of the cliffs, date back to the 4th century BC and are believed to belong to the Lycian kings or nobles. The tombs, which are adorned with elaborate facades resembling temple structures, have stood the test of time and remain a testament to the skill and artistry of the ancient Lycian people. To reach the tombs, visitors can embark on a scenic hike up the hill, where they are rewarded with panoramic views of Fethiye, the coastline, and the surrounding mountains. The tombs themselves are etched into the rock, with intricate details on the facades, including columns, friezes, and statues of ancient deities and kings. The most famous of the tombs is that of Amyntas, whose name is inscribed on the structure. The tomb’s large, temple-like facade stands out as it towers above the city. The views from the site are truly breathtaking, with the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea stretching out to the horizon and the town of Fethiye lying at its feet, surrounded by green hills. Amintas Kaya Mezarları is not only an impressive archaeological site but also an excellent spot to enjoy the natural beauty of the region, making it a must-visit for history and nature lovers alike.

The most spectacular Lycian city on the D400 highway—the ruins of Myra Besides the magnificent mountain and sea views, the essence of the D400 lies in the Lycian ruins scattered along both sides of the highway. The Lycian Kingdom roughly extended from Antalya to Dalyan, and the D400 highway connects many city-states of the ancient Lycian kingdom between the mountains and the sea. The history of the Lycians who lived here can be traced back to at least the 12th century BC. Homer's *Iliad* mentions the Lycians for the first time in history during the Trojan War. They may be descendants of the famous ancient Hittites. Yes, the same Hittites of the Hittite dynasty who fought a close battle with Ramesses II at Kadesh. In 168 BC, the Lycians won independence from the Roman Empire and established the Lycian League, a loose confederation of 23 very independent city-states. The Lycian League is known as the first primitive democratic alliance in history. The Lycians left behind very limited material culture and written records. They were a matriarchal society with their own language, which has not yet been fully deciphered. Their most precious legacy is the stunning ancient tomb ruins: cliff tombs, house tombs, and carved sarcophagi. Those who have been to Fethiye or Kaş should easily spot some of the sarcophagi scattered around the cities. But if you only choose one Lycian site to visit while driving along the D400 highway, Myra is definitely your best choice. The cliffs here are carved with exquisite "house" tombs and carved sarcophagi with theatrical masks, and there is also a well-preserved ancient Roman theater. This is also the hometown of Saint Nicholas, the prototype of Santa Claus.

I recently visited Fethiye and had an amazing experience exploring the ancient rock tombs. Getting there by scooter was easy and added to the adventure. Entry to explore the tombs was only 3 euros, and it was well worth it! The view from up there was absolutely stunning, overlooking Fethiye’s landscape with a peaceful atmosphere. The tombs themselves are beautifully carved into the cliffs, showcasing impressive ancient craftsmanship. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone in Fethiye who enjoys history, culture, and breathtaking views.

#9月好去地方2024 On a small hill outside the city of Fethiye, Türkiye, there are several famous hanging coffins called Lycian hanging coffins. It is a famous local archaeological site. Although the hanging coffins belong to the Lycians, it is obvious that the architectural style is deeply influenced by Greek and Persian architectural styles. The most famous of these, according to the inscription, was built in 350 BC and was dedicated to Amyntas, the son of Hermagus. Follow the Lycian Way and visit the ancient sites one by one. Compared with the monotonous sunshine and beaches, the rolling wheel of history is always more exciting. Address: Kesikkapı, 117. Sk. No:3, 48300 Fethiye/Muğla, Türkiye

As the name suggests, the cliff tombs of Fethiye are directly carved on the cliff, and the stone coffins are hoisted and placed in the cave, but why the coffins are suspended on the cliff is still an unsolved mystery. These cliff tombs were mostly built more than 400 years BC, after more than 2400 years of wind and frost, these stone coffins are still firm and upright, staring at the ancient city below. For the protection of cultural relics, most of these stone coffins cannot be approached, only the Tomb of Amyntas can be climbed up along the stone steps in front. Amyntas was a Greek king, this tomb built in 350 BC (Figure 4) is completely carved on the cliff, the appearance is a completely rock-carved Ionian temple, two huge stone pillars that are integrated with the rock wall support the elegant temple-style facade, majestic and spectacular, the mottled wall surface especially shows the precipitation of time, the traces of vicissitudes. Fethiye Cliff Tombs give people a solemn and solemn sense of historical heaviness, and also let us see the clever wisdom of human beings in architectural engineering more than 2400 years ago.
