About this tour
This short session looks at what remains of ancient Telmessos through the collection at Fethiye Museum. You see stone reliefs kept in the courtyard and smaller finds inside, coins and pottery pulled from sites around the modern town. Between the two rooms, the session builds a picture of the town before it carried its current name.
We start with a brief sound check, then move from the courtyard to the display room while you ask questions along the way. I pause on a couple of pieces I find most telling about daily life here. I close with a short written note on what we covered.
This suits anyone short on time who still wants the historical background behind the rock tombs and the amphitheatre. It also works as a starting point before booking a longer walk through the old town.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection

The camera shows the small courtyard where stone reliefs from Telmessos are kept outdoors. I point out the carving style and explain how the pieces were found around the modern town.
