Fethiye Holidays
Sitting on the south west of Turkey's Turquoise Coast is the flourishing town of Fethiye. Its Paspatur (or old quarter) has oodles of traditional charm while the resort's atmospheric town is abuzz with bars and restaurants not far from a cosmopolitan marina. If you want to soak up the sun during your Fethiye holidays, the nearest beach is just a short stop on the water taxi at Calis! With gorgeous hotels, full-board gems and great luxury resorts, Fethiye attracts families, couples and friends looking for an easy holiday in the sunshine.
The crystal-clear waters of Calis are great for swimming and snorkelling and there are plenty of places to stop for a snack by the beach. The fine beaches of Oludeniz, the most photographed of the region, are just a 45 minutes’ ride away by a dolomus. Climb up to the main Lycian rock tombs in Fethiye, which are worth the effort for the panoramic views it offers, or uncover the site of the Tomb of Amyntas, dating back to the Lycians who were once living there.
Fethiye is a great destination for those who like a mix of activities and beach time. The coastline surrounding the resort is dotted with picturesque coves and beaches. So, whether you explore the cobbled streets of the old town, watch the fountains in the evening near the Town Square or choose to day trip to neighbouring resorts, holidays in Fethiye offer fun for all the family. Do try out Gözleme (a Turkish flatbread), Tarhana soup and other Turkish delicacies at local markets and make it a holiday to remember.
Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
If you’ve been to Turkey before, you’ll know that dolmuses are a popular form of transport and Fethiye is full of them. Walking is a pleasure in the compact town centre and there is plenty to see and do in Fethiye. Taxis are ideal if you’re not planning on using them often (fares soon add up!), and there is a water taxi that takes you from Fethiye to Calis.
Catch A Boat To Calis Beach
Fethiye doesn’t have a beach of its own, but a quick ride in a water taxi and you’ll be at Calis Beach, where the sands stretch for what seems like miles. This peaceful beach has a backdrop of picturesque mountains, making it a great location if you're looking to relax. Or if you fancy exploring more of this fabulous coastline, take a boat trip around the coast and snorkel in beautiful bays.
Old Fethiye Hammam
Treat yourself to a traditional Turkish Hammam while in Fethiye and you'll leave feeling properly pampered! If you're after an authentic steam, scrub and massage experience, the old Hamman in Paspatur remains one of the best. You'll be met by friendly staff and magnificent marble interior, fixtures and fittings and once you sink into the aromatic baths you won't want to leave!
Local Restaurants In Fethiye
If you’re looking to sample delicious Turkish cuisine, Fethiye has a lot of eateries that will tickle your tastebuds. Be it the Meğri Lokantasi, a local favourite bustling with amazing ready-to-eat street food, or Pasa Kebab for its amazing array of meat and spicy dishes. For spectacular seafood including skewered or steamed octopus, sizzling prawns and calamari, head to Hilmi or Reis Balik. The food is an absolute delight, without being costly.
Day Trip to Olu Deniz
To the south of Fethiye lies the beautiful Blue Lagoon of Olu Deniz and a pretty pebble beach.
