Fethiye

Heart of the Turquoise Coast

Fethiye is where the mountains meet the sea — a stunning blend of ancient heritage, turquoise waters, and vibrant coastal life. Surrounded by islands, secret coves, and pine-covered hills, it offers both adventure and serenity. From the mystical Lycian tombs carved into cliffs to the peaceful bays of Ölüdeniz and Kabak, Fethiye captures the essence of the Mediterranean — timeless, soulful, and full of light.

Historical & Cultural Background

Built upon the ancient city of Telmessos, Fethiye carries deep Lycian roots dating back to the 5th century BC. Once a powerful center of prophecy and trade, it later flourished under Roman and Byzantine influence. The famous Amyntas Rock Tombs, carved high into the mountains, still watch over the modern harbor below — a bridge between past and present. Today, Fethiye honors its history with a spirit of openness, creativity, and coastal charm that has made it one of the Mediterranean’s most beloved destinations.
