Fethiye, which has hosted many tourists not only from Turkey but also from many parts of the world in recent years, and which is one of the most important holiday resorts of our country, also offers many beautiful and different activities for those who come here.. If you have come here or have plans to come, we recommend you to read the activities we recommend before you go in this beautiful holiday town.. Now, let’s give you the answer to the question “What to do in Fethiye?” in items…
What to do in Fethiye? Where to See?
1. Do Paragliding
The first activity that comes to mind when Fethiye is mentioned is paragliding.. Although paragliding has become widespread in many points in Turkey in recent years, our place opened to the world in this regard has been Fethiye.. Located behind Ölüdeniz, the majestic and high Babadağ is considered one of the most beautiful flight destinations not only in our country but also in the world.. Anyone can imagine what it would be like to watch the greenery of Fethiye and the magnificent blue of Ölüdeniz from the air.. I know that although everyone wants to do this at least once in their life, it is not possible for everyone to have the courage to do it.. Why is it so hard to dare? Because jumping from a height of about 2,000 meters and staying in the air for about 30 minutes can cause some uneasiness, especially for those who are afraid of heights.
Although the stress of being in the air and tasting this pleasure is a bit expensive, the next comments of those who jump with paragliding are that you should definitely do this.. You can read the comments on this subject from the link titled “Fethiye Paragliding” on the Tripadvisor site.
2. Take a Lycian Way Walk
Did you know that one of the best walking routes in the world with its nature and magnificent views is the “Lycian Way”? Discovered by the British traveler Kate Crow in the 90’s and known to all of Turkey since 1999 and where tens of thousands of people walk every year, the “Lycian Way” is considered a must-do hiking route for everyone.. Indeed, you will not forget this walk, which lasts for days and is alone in the middle of the magnificent nature and landscape, for the rest of your life.
The Lycian Way consists of a route of 555 kilometers in total.. Although it is of course very difficult to walk all of them, certain tracks are usually chosen and walked.. The most beautiful trail start is of course located in Fethiye.. During your walk here, you will stop by the ancient cities of Sydma, Pınara, Letoon and Xanthos and travel to the past.. Of course, it would be a big mistake to be deprived of the pleasure of swimming in this region, so famous beaches such as Kabak Bay and Patara, which are on your route, embrace you.. Various trees, plants, ponds, beaches and coves will accompany you throughout the walk.. Again, you have the chance to witness different cultures and lives in the hospitable villages you will stop by on the walking route.
3. Swim in Ölüdeniz It is in the third place of our list as an event.. Oludeniz, which is especially quiet and calm due to its lagoon formations, takes its name from this feature.. Thus, on this paradise-like beach, both those who know how to swim or those who do not, can easily enjoy the holiday.. The fact that it is surrounded by a dense forest of trees makes the air of Ölüdeniz very clean.
Those who want to sunbathe and swim by the sea rather than walking on holiday should definitely spend at least one day on this beach and enjoy the magnificent nature while they come to Fethiye..

4. Take a Boat Tour. Indeed, if we think that it will take days to visit the beautiful and paradise-like bays of Fethiye, namely Ölüdeniz, Kabak Bay, Butterfly Valley and 12 Islands, one by one, it will be one of the best activities to explore these bays with a dinner boat tour in the early morning and leave yourself to the cool waters.. Well, if you have a question mark about where I can get boat tours, the answer is quite simple: Go to Fethiye and boat tours will find you…
5. Take Underwater Diving

6. Go to Kayaköy
While around 2,500 people once lived in Kayaköy, a Greek village whose story began in the 11th century, it turned into an abandoned village after the Greeks were sent to Greece with the population exchange in the 1920s.. Between the silence and the ruined buildings lies a historical richness that goes back to ancient times.. Many houses, churches, libraries and art schools await its new destiny in ruins in Kayaköy..
