Pinara
Pınara Antik Kenti
An ancient Lycian city whose cliffs are carved with hundreds of honeycomb-like rock tombs, hidden among pine forest and rarely visited.
Pinara is one of the six great cities of Lycia. Its most striking feature is the nearly vertical massif behind the site, covered with hundreds of square tomb chambers that look like a honeycomb from a distance. The site also has a well-preserved theater, temples and royal tombs, scattered among pines and olive trees. Admission is a small fee, and a visit takes about 1.5 hours. The final stretch of mountain road is steep and narrow, so drive with care. It is about 45 km from Fethiye.
Opening hours
Approx. 8:00–19:00 (until 17:30 in winter)
