Akdam Dorik Mezar

A 4th-century BC Lycian rock-cut tomb in Antiphellos (modern Kas), carved from a 4.5 by 4.5-metre stone block in Doric style. The single-chamber interior features a unique frieze of seventeen small dancing female figures holding hands along the rear bench, with four more on each return wall. Standing 3.5 metres high beside the ancient theatre necropolis, it is the only tomb in the region bearing such figurative reliefs.
