Fethiye is an excellent base for a holiday in Turkey. A traditional market town, Fethiye nestles in a natural harbour protected by the small islands off the shore.

Holidays in Fethiye revolve around the harbour, which is the ideal place for a seafront promenade, its fishing boats, gulets and international yachts are an endless source of fascination. Fethiye exudes charm, with some excellent restaurants and a market where locals gather to sell their wares – the perfect place to hunt for bargains, hone your bartering skills and stock up on holiday souvenirs. As dusk falls, the many cafes, lively bars and shops situated in the maze of narrow streets and alleys come to life, overlooked by the floodlit tomb of Amyntas, which dates back from 350 BC, a Doric temple façade carved in the rock face overlooking Fethiye
