Fethiye Olu Deniz: A Mediterranean Gem
Exploring Fethiye Olu Deniz
Nestled on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, Fethiye is a picturesque town known for its stunning natural beauty and vibrant atmosphere. With a landscape marked by sheltered bays and scattered islands, it offers an idyllic escape for travelers. Towering 6,000 feet high, the mountains behind the bay are part of the Taurus Range, their slopes covered in fragrant sage, thyme, pine, and laurel trees.
One unique feature of the Fethiye area is its 100-hectare incense forest. The aromatic balsam from these trees is used in religious settings and in various pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. It's a popular spot for picnics and camping.
Climate and Beaches
The region enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with warm, wet winters and dry, hot summers. Summer temperatures average around 85°F, while winter rarely drops below 55°F. The seawater remains invitingly warm at around 63°F, making it a year-round destination for beach lovers.
Fethiye Resort is conveniently located near stunning beaches, including the famous "Blue Lagoon" at Olu Deniz, just a 25-minute minibus ride away. Equally enticing is Calis Beach, where you can bask under the sun on its sandy stretch or try your hand at windsurfing and kite-surfing. Don’t miss the breathtaking sunsets that paint the sky in a dazzling array of pinks and oranges.
Nature and History
For a unique experience, take a minibus to Dalyan to visit the nesting site of the rare loggerhead turtles. These turtles lay their eggs late in the evening, and the beach is closed to the public after 8:00 pm to protect them. The area is also a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, offering a glimpse of bird species found nowhere else in the world.
Fethiye is rich in history as well. Overlooking the town is a fortress constructed by the Knights of Rhodes. Visitors can explore the fortress and marvel at the stunning rock tombs carved into the cliffs by the Lycians, intended for their kings. A nearby Roman amphitheater is another must-see attraction.
Accommodation and Amenities
Fethiye offers a variety of accommodation options, including the popular Club Letoonia Hotel. Located less than 3 miles from the town center, this hotel boasts 1,500 beds, air-conditioned rooms equipped with modern amenities, and a range of facilities including a Turkish bath, sauna, hairdresser, and massage services. A shopping center, market, and various shops are also available on-site.
Families will appreciate the numerous recreational facilities, including a children's playground, swimming pool, and water slide. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy outdoor activities like volleyball, table tennis, and football, as well as water sports such as windsurfing and pedal boating.
Accessibility
Fethiye is well-connected to major cities via three highways. Dalaman and Antalya International Airports are just a 2 to 3-hour drive away, with national airlines offering links to major regional destinations. This makes Fethiye a convenient and enjoyable spot for tourists seeking an unforgettable holiday experience.
