Fethiye located on The Mediterranean Coast of Turkey is stunningly beautiful despite being full of British tourists and expats. They have a lot of good reasons to go to Fethiye with a large number of people and the British publication called The Guardian named it as one of the top tourist destinations worldwide. Particularly, those looking for discounted prices while enjoying the comforts of all-inclusive holidays might think of the area as a great choice for a Fethiye holiday.
Fethiye can be described as a vast region that includes a range of resorts that are smaller, including Olu Deniz, Calis Beach, Hisaronu, Kayakoy, and a few other delectable spots which are considered off the beaten path. I didn’t spend much time within the region, so this region is still on my list of places to visit.
If you’ve visited, I am sure you’ll be acquiescent to my assertion that everyone should go. If you’re still not convinced to go, continue reading and I am sure that at the end of this article, the concept will be into your brain.
Turkey is home to many beautiful natural landmarks within the Fethiye region. I believe it is true that the Mediterranean coast is much better then the Aegean.
The entire stretch of coastline is rich in historic sites. A lesser-known attraction is Tlos located an easy distance from Fethiye and greatly underrated. Tlos is a must-see. Lycian rock tombs atop a cliff in the rock should receive more international and local press.
Okay, so I was afraid to take a paragliding flight from Babadag Mountain but if you are looking for an adrenaline rush, the tiny Olu Deniz resort Olu Deniz is the place to be. In any given moment, there could be as many as 20 paragliders hovering over your head.
In the middle of Fethiye There is a market for fish that has a fantastic idea. I was excited to visit it as I caught my fish, then brought it into one of the traditional eateries near the market, and they cooked the fish for me, serving it with chips and salad.
The ghost town of Kayakoy is a major draw for visitors to the area. It was once inhabited by Greeks and Turks It is now it is a UNESCO friendly village.
Anyone who has been to Turkey can also confirm that in a few resorts on the coast there is a lot of hassle. issue. Tourists feel uncomfortable and daunting. Storekeepers at Fethiye however were welcoming professional, and I don’t think the word “hurry” is part of their vocabulary. I enjoyed browsing through the many shops spread throughout Fethiye.
One of my top destinations to visit is Butterfly Valley. I took the water taxi of Olu Deniz and spent the entire day there. The hippie-inspired place will blow your mind.
My hotel was close to the Marina in Fethiye And I settled in a daily routine sat in the restaurant after sunset. It is a place where everything happens and in the daytime boat excursions start from the marina to explore the coastline.
The nearby resort of Gocek is also close by. I was a bit snobby about it but many others recommend it.
Gulet cruises are a big enterprise in Fethiye and the majority of captains of boats are knowledgeable of all the destinations along the Turkish Riviera. I observed as some of the most elegant gulet vessels docked but I’ve not won the lottery yet. the idea of a four-day cruise from Fethiye is on my wish list.
I love researching the long background of Turkey and was very impressed by the museum located in Fethiye town center. It has an extensive collection of objects and displays. All exhibits are accompanied by English signposts.
Unique establishments, with a unique design and interiors, instantly draw my interest. Even though Fethiye town center is huge tiny gems such as this can be found through some back roads.
Olu Deniz beach is clean and uncrowded. It is for those who love beaches it is a wonderful location to chill. Another option is to visit early in the morning and get on a boat and explore tiny bays.
The entire coast is brimming with intriguing places like this, which I haven’t explored as I was too busy. Small towns that are away from the tourist trail such as Faralya, Kabak and Uzunyurt remain on my list of places to visit.
Old town Fethiye was filled with impressive little shops I loved exploring. I was awed by the Ottoman style lamps that hang over the roof. The other delights were ceramics, silver chessboards as well as homemade arts and crafts things.
My curiosity about Fethiye was sparked by the sight of the statue heads. My research into who they are is going on, but what an interesting way to find out about Turkish historical background!
Yakapark is situated high in the mountains. It’s an extremely popular stop for lunch on Jeep safaris due to the fact that they have farms of trout for guests to choose their own fish to cook for the BBQ lunch. It’s not a luxurious place and is rather basic, but it is the small towns like this, incorporated in the natural surroundings which provide great reasons to go to Fethiye during the summer.
Turkish people are extremely warm and welcoming. There is nothing more enjoyable than walking down the streets and chatting with the shoe cleaner. Fethiye is a top tourist destination, but you will not have to travel too far to meet the locals and their customary lifestyle.
One of the last reasons to go to Fethiye is that a frequent ferry that connects the island Rhodes is available from its harbour. Tickets are pricey, however the Greek neighbors of this beautiful country have a few remarkable tourist attractions that are their own. Alternately, you can visit the neighboring destination of Kas and then take a ferry to the charming island of Meis which is where I was fortunate enough to go on a tour of The Blue Cave.
