Turkey,
Fethiye-03 - 18-10-2002

|
Fethiye
has a small attractive port with side-walk restaurants, small cafes
and several old buildings behind the main street converted to attractive
stores.
|
There are also a series of Lycian Rock Tombs standing majestically in the cliff behind the town. The largest of these is that of King Amyntas, identified from a 4th century BC inscription. The Dead Sea is an idyllic location of Turkey's most beautiful beaches and a breath-taking lagoon which is featured on the cover of many tourist brochures. |

Most of the town is brand-new, built after an
earthquake which flattened Fethiye in 1957, which strangely left
the huge Lycian Sarcophagi that stand around virtually untouched...
