What to See in Fethiye?
In Fethiye, every step reveals something extraordinary. You will swim in the clearest turquoise waters of Aegean and Mediterranean bays, witness unforgettable sunsets, explore dramatic natural landscapes, and step back in time while visiting ancient ruins and historical sites. Here are the top must-see places in Fethiye:
Ölüdeniz Lagoon: One of Turkey’s most iconic beaches, often referred to as the Blue Lagoon. The calm turquoise waters, mountains rising behind the bay, and white sands surrounded by evergreen pines create an impossibly perfect atmosphere. Choosing an Ölüdeniz yacht charter allows you to reach pristine, remote waters rich with diverse marine life.
Butterfly Valley: A secluded paradise hidden between two dramatic cliffs and home to the Jersey Tiger Butterfly. Since the valley is unreachable by car, adventurous travelers can hike down from Faralya village. Still, the easiest and most enjoyable way to visit this natural wonder is by yacht charter.
Kayaköy: This abandoned Greek village offers a powerful lesson on the region’s history. Built in the 1700s, Kayaköy was once home to more than 20,000 people who left the town during the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922). Today, its stone houses and narrow streets reflect the nostalgia and struggles of the past.
Fethiye Islands: Surrounding Fethiye are numerous beautiful islands, including Gemiler, Baba, Cleopatra, and Zeytin. A Fethiye yacht charter is the essential key to exploring these hidden gems.
