Fethiye Holidays

Holidays in this lovely resort tend to revolve around the harbour, it is the ideal place for a seafront promenade, its fishing boats, gulets and international yachts an endless source of fascination. Fethiye exudes charm, with some excellent restaurants and a market where locals gather to sell their wares, the perfect place to hunt for bargains, hone your bartering skills and stock up on holiday souvenirs. As dusk falls, the many cafes, lively bars and shops situated in the maze of narrow streets and alleys come to life, overlooked by the floodlit tomb of Amyntas, which dates back from 350 BC, a Doric temple façade carved in the rock face overlooking Fethiye.

Many fascinating sites in the region are easily accessible to those choosing holidays to Fethiye. These include the eerie 'ghost town' of Kayaköy, long since abandoned, the stunning gorge of Saklikent, literally translated as 'hidden city' and of course, the famous beach and blue lagoon of Olu Deniz, just the other side of the hill, which is easily reached by dolmus. Fethiye is a good starting point from which to explore the surrounding coast by traditional gulet and has become very popular with those learning to scuba dive.

Although Olu Deniz is the best known of the beaches around Fethiye, holidaymakers often head to Çalis Beach, which is the closest, with its backdrop of dramatic mountains and stunning views across the wide blue bay to tiny islands and distant hills.

Of all the Fethiye hotels, the Ece Saray Hotel, is the most impressive. Set to one side of the harbour and built in the style of an Ottoman palace, this is truly the place to stay for memorable holidays in Fethiye.
