Does anybody know if there is an amphi theatre site in Fethiye. I have been looking on google earth and have noticed a large semi circle just near the Harbour and old town that looks just like an ancient amphi theatre. We have not heard any reference to this and was wondering what it was.
I have tried to save the reference, so anybody with google earth can have a look as and what Im on about.

Thanks
Da

amphiteather

the amphiteatre you have seen on the google earth is the amphiteather in Fethiye from Lykeans which dates back to 1st century B.C. it is not very big though!
if you are going to Fethiye and want to see some ancient sites it wont be very difficult for you. on jeep safari tour Tlos ancient city is visited where you see amazing tombs also in fethiye center you can see King Tombs and and Necropolis(cemetery) near castle of Fethiye.

Best Regards.
