Fethiye is one of the unique Turkish resorts, where historical sights are intelligently intertwined with picturesque natural landscapes, warm seas and extreme entertainment for every taste. Our blog will tell readers about where to go on their own or in group excursions while vacationing in this region of Turkey.
Directly within the city there is one of the unique historical monuments - the ancient Lycian tombs. Here, on the border of ancient Lycia and Caria, many centuries ago the ancient metropolis of Telmessos was located. Anyone who is not indifferent to the historical heritage of the country will also be interested in the amphitheater preserved on this land and many other ruins of houses, buildings and structures of that ancient era.
Oludeniz is a small village and, at the same time, a picturesque nature reserve located in the vicinity of Fethiye. Unique views of the sea and mountains, amazing azure panoramas and observation decks will take your breath away with the beauty of the views. It is this place that is considered the “modern Mecca” lovers of extreme paragliding. Lovers of a relaxing holiday should definitely visit the Valley of Butterflies and the cozy Blue Bay.
8 km from the resort of Fethiye is the famous abandoned village of Kayakoy, where it seems as if time has stood still, taking tourists many centuries back into the past. Previously, there was a small ancient city here, the ancient city of Karmilassos, consisting of Greeks and Turks. One day, it was decided to resettle the Greek population to their homeland, which made this Turkish village gloomy and deserted. Streets and houses, city buildings, ruins of the Church of Katapongagia and the Church of Taxiarch have been preserved here to this day.
