 Fethiye
|
|
On the hillside of Mount Mendos, this pretty town sits on Turkey’s ‘Turquoise Coast’, so named because as the sun sets, its waters are the clearest turquoise shade you’ve ever seen. And Fethiye has more riches in store for you. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate which prevails along this coastline, you can be leisurely sipping your Turkish tea or Turkish coffee in the town and glance up and see white snow and mist on the mountains in the distance. |

In Fethiye you’ll revel in long, hot summers and short, warm, rainy winters. In fact, the temperature is around 86°-105° F (30°- 40° C) during the summer months and usually above 50° F (10° C) in the winter. So you can comfortably swim in these turquoise-coloured waters for nine months of the year!
The town itself has everything you need for a rich and varied holiday or living experience. A wealth of historical and cultural sights and artefacts, the bazaar with its narrow, shady streets and tiny squares, great shopping and dining out, outstanding beaches, every kind of water sport, the best paragliding in Turkey, hidden coves and the pine-clad Taurus Mountains to explore at your leisure.
Sailing is also enormously popular in Turkey, and Fethiye has everything you need to indulge your pastime. You can charter a gulet, with or without a crew, or hop on one of the many boat trips which depart from here. While you’re on the ocean, look out for the catacombs in the rocks which you can see whilst sailing from its harbours.
All in all, Fethiye offers you a wonderful combination of ancient sights and modern conveniences. No wonder it’s a place which is much favoured by those looking for a second home.
