Telmessos, Archaeological site in Lycia, Turkey.
The remains of Telmessos extend across hills near modern Fethiye, featuring rock-cut tombs, an amphitheater, and ancient stone structures dating from multiple periods.
Telmessos served as a significant maritime center during the Lycian period, later becoming an important Roman settlement in the 4th century BC.
The rock tombs of Telmessos display a fusion of Lycian and Greek architectural elements, with the Tomb of Amyntas presenting intricate column details.
The archaeological site remains open throughout the year, with guided tours available from Fethiye, including transportation and historical explanations in multiple languages.
The oracle center at Telmessos specialized in interpreting signs through the observation of fish behavior in the nearby Mediterranean waters.
