Fethiye: a holiday in one of Turkey’s most visited cruise ports
The coastal town of Fethiye is situated at the foot of a majestic mountain, dotted with medieval ruins, just 40 kilometers from the well-known Dalaman Airport. From the mountain’s peak, you can admire the breathtaking beauty of the panoramic bay, revealing the most hidden corners of Turkey’s southern coast. From the very first steps, it’s clear that this resort is made for those seeking seclusion and a state of absolute bliss. Combined with the sea breeze and gentle air, it’s easy to feel completely in harmony with the world here.
Fethiye is a jewel of Turkey’s Aegean coast. The towering Lycian Mountains with ancient tombs carved into the cliffs, the turquoise, crystal-clear sea that stays warm almost year-round, lush vegetation — including orange, pomegranate, and lemon trees, as well as pine forests — and beautiful beaches have all made Fethiye beloved by tourists from around the world.
The popular resorts of Fethiye include Ölüdeniz, offering a luxurious stay on sandy beaches amid stunning nature; Göcek, the yacht capital; and the town of Fethiye itself, where you can go paragliding over the Lycian Mountains.
For beach lovers:
- Ölüdeniz: Famous for its “Blue Lagoon,” one of the most picturesque beaches in Turkey.
The beach has soft sand, a gentle slope into the water, and calm seas. Paragliding is also popular here. - Calis/Çalış Beach: A popular spot with well-developed infrastructure, offering a wide selection of restaurants and bars.
For nature lovers and those seeking seclusion:
- Kuleli Bay: a beautiful spot with crystal-clear water, showcasing a stunning mix of blue and green hues.
- Kıdrak Beach: often called the “green” beach due to the abundance of pine trees surrounding it.
- Butterfly Valley: an incredibly picturesque valley, accessible mainly by sea.
