The Turquoise Coast runs from Fethiye to Antalya: limestone cliffs, pine forests, the clearest water in the Mediterranean, and Lycian ruins at every headland. The 540-km Lycian Way is one of the world's great long-distance trails.

Ölüdeniz's Blue Lagoon is the poster; Kaş and Kalkan are the slow favourites; the boat trips from Üçağız reach the sunken city of Kekova.
