Fethiye City Guide
The Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz, near Fethiye. Photo via Wikimedia Commons.
Fethiye is the Lycian coast's adventure town: the Blue Lagoon of Ölüdeniz, paragliding off Babadağ, the 12-islands boat trips, and the Lycian Way trailheads. Ancient Telmessos's rock tombs look down on the marina.
Ölüdeniz is 15 km south; the lagoon is the postcard. Kayaköy's abandoned Greek village and Butterfly Valley are the other classics.
