FETHIYE
The town of Fethiye is a newly developed tourism center in the southwest of Turkiye. It lies along a sheltered bay on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Fethiye, with the Taurus Mountains flanking the Mediterranean Sea to the west. Dalaman Airport is 50 kilometers away from Fethiye harbor, which takes about an hour.
The city is a popular holiday destination for people of all ages because of the variety of activities it offers on land and sea. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, paragliding over the majestic Mountain Baba is an experience not to be missed. Butterfly Valley with its abundance of wildlife, home to hundreds of butterfly species, and rich in flora and fauna, is a sight to behold. Dive deep into the depths of Saklikent Gorge, the deepest canyon in the world. Last but not least, discover the secrets of Kayakoy and learn the history of the Lycians while you’re there.
Besides being home to many bird species, mountain goats, and turtles, the region of Fethiye is also very rich in endemic plants. Furthermore, its crystal clear waters, numerous islands, and hidden coves make Fethiye an ideal place to explore by boat. It is unbelievable how much more there is to see from the seaside than what you can see on land.
