Fethiye
Lagoons, Lycian tombs and the start of the coast's most beautiful sailing.
Fethiye holds the turquoise coast's most photographed treasures — the Ölüdeniz lagoon, the ghost village of Kayaköy, and Lycian rock tombs cut high into the cliffs above the town.
It is also the launch point for gulet cruises along hidden coves, the single most memorable way to experience this coastline. We plan Fethiye for the water and the quiet.

Fethiye: common questions
Is Ölüdeniz worth visiting?
Yes, but go early or late in the day. The lagoon is a protected area and gets crowded at midday in summer.
Can you walk the Lycian Way from Fethiye?
The first stages start near Ölüdeniz. Short day sections are the most rewarding way to try it without committing to the full route.
