Overview
The city of Fethiye is home to several stone sarcophagii - an ancient burial method - with carvings that reflect Lycian style elements dating back to the 4th century BC. Unlike the Greeks who preferred to bury their dead in separate or isolate areas, the Lycians buried their dead amongst the living. Due to this, a number of sarcophagii and burial tombs have remained scattered throughout the town in their original locations, in the midst of surrounding structures and modern buildings. Particularly well preserved sarcophagii in Fethiye include one located in the town governor's office area at the main street as well as another on the street centre, heading uphill towards the cave tombs.
Prayer Facilities
Several mosques are available across the city of Fethiye, some in the vicinity of Lycian sarcophagii. The Old Mosque, Tokgoz Mosque, Karagozler Mosque and YeniHamidiye Mosque are amongst the most prominent mosques in the city. Plenty of private area is also available in the vicinity of the Lycian sarcophagii to make use of during prayer times.
Halal Food
Numerous Halal restaurants in the vicinity of Lycian sarcophagii will be easily available, since almost all restaurants in Fethiye serve Halal food. A popular place is the ElizanOtel inFethiye. However it is recommended that visitors check with the restaurants about the preparation of food and availability of Halal menus prior to dining.
