Fethiye, which was known as Telmessos in the ancient times, was the most important city situated on Lycia's western border with Caria. It is believed that the city's name comes from Apollon's son Telmessos. The city joined the Ottoman Empire in 1924. In the south part of the town you will see many famous tombs and graves from the Antique Era and one of the most famous and most beautiful stone tombs is the tomb of King Amyntas. The ruins belonging to a theatre, which have been discovered recently during the excavation carried out by the museum, are in the city centre. After dinner we’ll enjoy drinks and chats up on deck – the perfect way to start our cruise (D)
