Although once a small fishing village and market town, in recent years due to the growing popularity of nearby Oludeniz and easy access to some fascinating ancient sites, Fethiye has become a thriving tourist centre.

However, Fethiye retains a decidedly Turkish feel. Exploring the warren of shop-lined streets in the old quarter, is a fascinating experience. Restaurants are in abundance, and the authentic feel of Turkish life surrounds the whole area, giving a real insight into town life in Turkey.

On market day you can try out your bartering skills and hunt for bargains in the hustle and bustle of the weekly market, with the roads full of vehicles of all types – from old American trucks, to horse and carts spilling over with all manner of produce destined to create the vibrant colours and smells of the market.

Fethiye also has a fine harbour and quays with restaurants where you can enjoy freshly caught fish, sample a glass of Turkish 'çay' or just photograph the fishermen mending their nets.

Fethiye was once a Lycian City and traces of the ancient settlement can still be found around the town, which include the magnificent rock tombs on the face of the cliff on the old quarter of the town.
