Fethiye, the ancient Telmessos, is a very pleasant town with a large esplanade. The town is surrounded by Lycian rock tombs carved on the rocks. There is also a medieval castle built by the Knights of Rhodes. In the middle of the town there is a Lycian sarcophagus tomb in the shape of a small house.

 Lycian Tomb in Fethitye |
 Lydae |
The Museum is well worth a visit, they have a very exciting stele from the Letoön with an inscription shown in three languages: Greek, Aramaic, and Lycian. They also have a nice ethnographic section. It closes at 17:00.
From Fethiye one can take a number of inland excursions to places such as Ölu Deniz, Xanthos, and Patara. All of these places can also be visited from Kaş.
Kizilkuyruk Koyu
About a 30 minute walk up the hill is Lydae an archaeological site. The site, two Roman mausolea and some Byzantine foundations, is not very interesting but its setting is exquisite. There are several mud-brick domes which may be Moslem tombs but I am not so sure because goats have been using them for shelter.
