Fethiye is one
of the popular resorts in Turkey.
It is located in the southwest of Turkey and
is about an hour drive from Dalaman
International Airport. It is surrounded by high mountains and pine
forests.
Fethiye, once known as Telmessos dates
back to the 6th C BC. It was one of the major cities of the Lycian
region in ancient times. Today there is a very well preserved theater
with 10,000 seating capacity. The other main attraction is the tomb
of Amyntas, a Lycian noble.
Ölüdeniz is probably
the most famous beach in Turkey. The blue lagoon sweeps around on
its seaward side into a vast crescent shaped sand
and pebble beach, all framed by a spectacular backdrop of pine forests
and mountains.
Fethiye and Oludeniz
together offer their visitors wonderful scenery and holiday atmosphere.
