This itinerary offers an immersive journey into Fethiye, a paradisiacal district clinging to Turkey's southwestern coast. Over three days, we will saunter through Fethiye's dazzling landscapes—turquoise beaches, sprawling markets, ancient ruins, and vibrant nightlife—to get a heady taste of this Mediterranean gem.

Day 1 - Embracing Fethiye’s Scenic Allure

Fethiye truly does shine brighter in the sunshine, isn't it? We kick off our journey by soaking up the sun at the world-renowned Oludeniz Blue Lagoon. Picture this: aquamarine waters lapping at pristine white sands, a coastline dotted with lush mountains, and paragliders painting streaks across a cloudless sky. After basking in this paradise, we move to the ancient city of Tlos, showcasing Turkey’s rich archaeological heritage. Our day culminates in the heart of Fethiye with a relaxed stroll around the Harbour and Promenade, complemented by a heartwarming sunset.

Day 2 - Tasting the Authentic Flavors of Fethiye

How about we treat our taste buds today? We open the day at the bustling Fethiye Market, a lively bazaar that’s a melange of sights, sounds and irresistible aromas. Savor local delicacies, shop for vibrant textiles and spices, and heck, let's give bargaining a shot! Post lunch, we hop on a relaxing boat tour to the Twelve Islands, offering ample swimming and snorkeling opportunities. We'll be back in Fethiye by late afternoon, just in time for a visit to the atmospheric Fish Market. Here we'll enjoy a delightful alfresco meal featuring the catch-of-the-day.

Day 3 - Unveiling Fethiye’s Historical Layers

A bit of intrigue to wrap up our last day? We'll start at the awe-inspiring Ghost Town of Kayakoy, a forgotten town once brimming with life, now lying in silent ruins. Could you feel the air of mystery around? Following this, we're head to the hidden gem of Gemiler Island packed with Byzantine ruins and idyllic beaches. We wrap up the excursion savoring the vibrant nightlife at the Fethiye Bar Street. Dancing to the Mediterranean beats as a beautiful Turkish night unfurls before us—quite a fitting adieu, wouldn't you agree?
