Fethiye is a traditional harbour town, which has kept its character and where, despite its popularity, life continues along the same rhythms, almost oblivious to tourism. It has its own market, and plenty of shopping opportunities. There is a wide range of restaurants in the narrow streets and on the harbour front, which is the perfect place for an evening promenade before settling down to a meal of delicious seafood or freshly-caught fish. Heading over the mountains from Fethiye brings you down through pine forests to the beautiful resort of Ölüdeniz. In front of you lies the sweeping bay and the main beach of Belcekiz and to one side is the lagoon, from which the resort takes its name – the ‘dead sea’ – which is almost landlocked with its beach of fine sand. There is a small charge to enter the lagoon area, which is a nature preserve. The water is a clear, turquoise, and the area is, deservedly, one of the most photographed in the whole of Turkey.

The mountain village of Hisarönü, which lies between Ölüdeniz and Fethiye has changed beyond all recognition over the last decade, turning into a lively resort in its own right. In summer the main street buzzes with lively bars, clubs and a wide variety of restaurants and shops. It is in a beautiful setting surrounded by pine-clad hills with views down over Ölüdeniz. It is the ideal base for those who want to be in a livelier atmosphere and it is an easy dolmus ride down to the beach at Ölüdeniz or the shops of Fethiye. Close to Hisarönü, Ovacik is much quieter, and perfect for those who really want to enjoy the splendour of the stunning mountain setting, as it is surrounded by beautiful scenery with pine-clad hills. There are regular dolmus or taxi services into Hisarönü from which it is easy to explore the surrounding area.

Calis Beach is set on the bay of Fethiye, just a short dolmus ride from the town itself. It is a relaxed, unhurried resort, and in the summer, the main coast road is closed to traffic, ensuring the calm, peaceful atmosphere. There is plenty to do though, with a variety of shops, bars and restaurants along the seafront. There are beautiful views out from the long stretch of beach over the bay to the distant mountains beyond.

Olu Deniz Where the western most point of the Taurus Mountains dip into the sea, to form sandy bays and coves...where sunlight reflects up of the pebbled seabed to turn the Med to turquoise...Where fertile plains wedge themselves between the limestone heights to create Lycia's market garden. Where cedared mountain plateaus collect their strenght to drop with apple, quince and pear...Set into such a landscape lies the resort of Olu deniz, with it's famous glistening Olu Deniz beach and Olu Deniz Blue Lagoon. Olu Deniz has one of the best beaches in the Med, perfect for sun worshippers and has to be seen to be believed
