Fethiye Travel Guide

 6 Reviews  One reason why I came to Fethiye is to see the rock-cut tombs on the side of the mountain in Fethiye - the Tomb of Amyntas. On my second day, I roam around the town looking for these tombs, passing by several historical stuff before finally reaching the place - on foot. It's located right at the... 

 4 Reviews  Kayakoy (Levissi - to the greeks who once lived there) is a ghost town turned into tourist spot, converted into a museum village. The greeks used to populate the town until the population exchange in 1923, where the greek orthodox have to go back to Greece and the muslim Turkish from Greece have to... 

 4 Reviews  Last year I missed the boat tour to Butterfly Valley, my hotel in Fethiye that time told me it left already when I woke up late and trying to book it by phone. Glad I missed it, because it gives me the opportunity to - not only see it - but experience it. I stayed 5 days in the village of Faralya...

 5 Reviews  Saklikent is a gorge about 3/4 hours drive from Fethiye. There is a boardwalk up the gorge for a bit and in the non rainy season you can walk further. In the rainy season it is too dangerous due to the water volume. It's worth a visit, wonderful scenery. There are the usual trinket sellers and...

 5 Reviews  I searched online and booked in advance a daily boat tour for 12 Islands tour. The company called Carol&Tayfun they have a website. They don't have a fix route, depending on the weather and the captains decision they decide where to go and when to comeback. For example in our tour they brought us... 

 3 Reviews  Most years people are maimed or killed on these safaris. We don't hear about it in Britain because the papers only publicise the British interest stories. It happened to my family two years ago and it has just happened again this Summer. My advice is to avoid them unless you enjoy that 'I may not... 

 2 Reviews  The Telmessos ancient amphitheater is a 2nd century AD is just down the marina area facing the marina quay. Grasses are growing in and around it, but rumors has it this theater will be restored. It's still a nice sight. Excavated in 1992 - 1995, originally the theater has 28 seating rows and can... 

 2 Reviews  I find it a little strange but there are a lot of sarcophagus lying everywhere all over the town of Fethiye -- some in small parks, an ordinary neighborhood street and I saw one sitting right in the middle of a clean road. Some in really intact and good condition but some already fallen apart, walk... 

 2 Reviews  Abandoned city when Greek people left after world war. The Turkish people who came here from Greece do not prefer to live here and left this village to its own faith.If you visit this place you can see ruin of a village, the most durable place is village's main church. This place is also popular... 

 2 Reviews  Almost at the marina, there is an ancient Lycian amphitheatre. There is almost nobody around and it's situated next to the houses, as if it was nothing. It's rather small, but still, a pretty monument. However, nobody seems to care for it. :( You can see it on the left.
