Fethiye at a glance

Fethiye is the largest town in the area, built on the site of ancient Telmessos around a natural harbour. The Tomb of Amyntas, carved into the cliff above town, is a landmark visible from afar. The fish market, the old Paspatur bazaar and the Twelve Islands boat tours from the harbour set the town's daily rhythm. The abandoned stone village of Kayaköy, Saklıkent Gorge and trailheads of the Lycian Way are all within easy reach.

Because Fethiye covers a wide area, apartment complexes with similar names can be found in different neighbourhoods. Please enter the name of your accommodation together with its neighbourhood, such as the town centre or the harbour area, to avoid confusion. Adding your flight number allows your driver to track your flight.

Arriving in Fethiye: what to know

This is one of the shorter transfers from Dalaman. The road runs east through farmland and pine-covered hills, bypasses Göcek through a tunnel and then follows the gulf into Fethiye, with the islands of the bay coming into view on the way.

Outside town, traffic is rarely an issue. In the centre it is heaviest on Tuesdays, when the big weekly market sets up beside the canal and the surrounding streets fill with cars and dolmuş minibuses. Summer weekends are the main changeover days for package holidays, so Dalaman's terminal can be crowded even when the road itself is clear. On arrival, hotels in Karagözler sit on the slope above the marina, reached by narrow, steep lanes. Along Çalış Beach the seafront promenade is largely car-free, so you may be dropped on the road just behind it. If you are staying higher up in Hisarönü or Ovacık, expect an extra winding climb out of town.
