Fethiye Holidays
Thanks to its outstanding beauty and idyllic setting Fethiye is considered a gem of Turkey's Mediterranean coast. With an impressively long and interesting history this thriving town was once known as Telmessos to its ancient inhabitants. Today a fort built by the mediaeval Knights of Rhodes is still standing, but far older are the rock tombs carved into nearby cliffs by the Lycians, some dating back as far as the 4th century BC. For visitors to Fethiye there is also a large, busy marina which presents a glamorous playground, a wide and welcoming array of hotels and guest houses, and of course some stunning beaches to bask on. Fethiye is just an hour's travel time from Dalaman Airport which serves this region.
Holidays to Fethiye - experience Turkish life first hand
Visitors come to popular Fethiye for a family holiday, romantic break or as part of a longer cultural tour of Turkey. Beaches are genuinely stunning here. Fethiye looks out onto breathtakingly wide Fethiye Bay which is home to 12 small scattered islands. The ideal way to explore them all, including stopoffs for sunbathing and swimming, is to book onto a day long sailing trip from the marina. You'll certainly enjoy catching some cooling breezes out on a boat. Sovalye Island epitomises the calm, natural beauty of this bay. Holiday makers at Fethiye can also set out further afield to enjoy the stunning natural scenery and take in some serious local history. For example, to the southeast of Fethiye lies Xanthos at Kinik village, an important capital of Lycians.
Fethiye Holidays - entertainment for the energetic and the relaxed
Holidays on the Turkish coast offer great value, variety and far more than lazy days on the beach. While sun worshipping in Fethiye is highly recommended, we should mention some of the other options open to you and your family. Boat trips will be hugely memorable, and you can also try paragliding, diving, hot air ballooning, trekking, horse riding and mountain biking. The pine clad hills around Fethiye are well worth exploring, with views from the peaks a welcome reward for your exertions. A trip to Fethiye wouldn't be complete without a traditional Turkish massage and hot Turkish bath.
