Fethiye

A Mediterranean city that serves as the ideal jumping-off point for the rest of the Turquoise Coast region.

Perched on the perfect blue of the Mediterranean and under the shadow of the mountain Babadag, the seaside city of Fethiye is often the main entry point for visitors to the stunning southwest coast of Turkey. The modern style and energy of the city coexist side-by-side with traces of the deep history that permeates the region, including Lycian stone tombs that are still visible within city limits, and the lush nature of the Turkish Riviera. In the spring and summer, flowers are constantly in bloom and the sun shines relentlessly, sparkling off the water. While the center of the city can be busy, farther out are quieter areas with easier access to nature. Calis Beach is a popular area within Fethiye to experience the sea.

Some of the best beaches, ruins, and nature lie just outside of Fethiye, with the deep navy Blue Lagoon of Oludeniz and the ghost town of Kayakoy easily accessible from the center of the city. The beginning of The Lycian Way, a 30-day walking route along the Turquoise Coast, also starts just outside of Fethiye, for visitors who want to explore the area on foot.

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Fethiye

How long should I stay in Fethiye?

Depending on how much of the surrounding area you plan to explore, 2-3 days is enough to experience Fethiye. If you plan to use it as a base to explore some of the smaller towns and beaches and sites in the area, then perhaps stay for 4-5 days.

When is the best time to visit Fethiye?

Summer is the most popular season to come to Fethiye, as the beaches are in full swing. However, spring and autumn are much more comfortable, when the weather is still warm and you can still swim, but the city is less crowded and intense.

How do I get around Fethiye?

It’s easy to get around Fethiye thanks to a network of buses, minibuses, and dolmuş (shared taxis that run set routes). The minibuses also go to popular destinations outside of Fethiye, like Oludeniz. If you want more freedom of movement, you can hire a car to get around or take some of the optional day trips we can arrange for you, so you'll have the benefit of a driver and guide.

Is Fethiye safe?

Like most major cities in Turkey, Fethiye is quite safe. Though there is some petty crime and pickpocketing, for the most part, there is little major crime and the streets of Fethiye are safe at all hours of the day. Keep a general awareness of where your belongings are.
