The cave tombs of Fethiye are located towards the south of the Fethiye district in Muğla Province. The Tomb of Amyntas is considered to be the most elaborate and impressive rock-cut temple-type tomb in the area, with its origins dating back to 350 BC. These rock tombs typically contain more than one body and feature cliffs with funeral chambers that have been directly carved into them. The Tomb of Amyntas bear Greek inscriptions that translate to "Amyntas, son of Hermagios", thus resulting in its name. The sheer size of the Tomb of Amyntas is what sets it apart from others, with massive space inside that can be compared to the size of a large temple.
