Fethiye at a glance
Fethiye is a lively harbour town on a wide, sheltered bay on Turkey's south-west coast. It sits on the site of ancient Telmessos, and the past is visible right above the streets: the Lycian rock tombs, led by the temple-fronted Tomb of Amyntas, are carved into the cliff face behind the town. Down by the water, the marina and promenade are lined with gulets, cafés and fish restaurants, and the old quarter is full of small shops and a busy market.
Fethiye is also the base for the whole surrounding area: Çalış beach to the north, the hillside villages of Ovacık and Hisarönü, and the famous Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz to the south. Visitors range from families and couples on a beach holiday to boat lovers, hikers and the many British and European residents who own homes here.
