Fethiye, one of the oldest towns on the Lycian Coast, is also one of the most popular holiday destinations on Turkey's Mediterranean shores. Dalaman International Airport is 50 km. to the town centre.

The town is situated on a very secluded bay, which is a natural marina, strewn with islands. The marina shelters large and small leisure and charter boats as well as fishing boats, and is visited by numerous cruise lines. During the summer season, a ferryboat makes round trips to Rhodes, only one and a half hours away.

The old city is now "downtown" - narrow streets opening to small squares full of various shops, coffeehouses, and restaurants serving anything from fish to kebabs to pizzas and all of them open until the small hours.

The market at Fethiye is held once a week, on Tuesday, and everything imaginable including souvenirs, cotton clothing and household goods, leather goods, hand woven goods, perfumes, shoes, herbs and spices can be found there.

The region is renowned for its fruit and vegetables. Every year about 250.000 tons of tomatoes are produced and exported.

Fethiye is known for its Lycian rock tombs carved into the faces of the cliffs. These are elaborately carved and the most famous is the tomb of Amnytas dating from the 4th century BC and built in the Doric style.

Other historical places in the city are the Sarcopaghi and the Fethiye Tower. Not far from Fethiye is Kaya, a deserted ghost town.

Until 1923 it was knowns Levissi when it was built and inhabited by Christian Greek Orthodox. They left as a result of the population exchange when all Christian Greeks were forced to move to Greece. The Macedonian Muslims that were sent to Kaya, believed that its previous inhabitants had left a curse on the hillside village and instead built their houses on the surrounding flat land. Now the hillside is still covered with the ghostly ruins of 1500 cottages.

Calis, 5 km from Fethiye is described as "the best place to watch the sun go down".

It is one of the most popular tourist places in the area with its 4 km. stretch of beach, and cool breazes during the hot summer nights. The area is well developed and offers every type of water sport and a wide variety of bars and restaurants

also boasts two very natural attractions - a cooling breeze, perfect for when the local temperatures soar in the summer months, and you can see what the other one is - Calis is famous for some of the most beautiful sunsets in the World.
