 Turkey, Lycia, Fethiye: ancient rock tombs, carved out of the cliffs by Lycians. The largest, the Tomb of Amyntas (shown here), in the style of a Greek Ionic temple, with highly decorated sham stone door, dates back to the 4th century BC. All have been plundered and many used as dwellings in Byzantine times.
