Why go?
The TravelSupermarket guide to Fethiye holidays will also reveal when to go, what’s on and what to see and do during your break…
Beautiful Fethiye rose from the destruction of an earthquake in the late 1950s to become one of the most attractive and modern resorts in Turkey. Its marina welcomes glistening yachts, while the comings and goings of the old town and the ruins of ancient Telmessos remind visitors that Fethiye is a place with deep historical roots.
It is the sugar-white beaches and crystal-clear waters of this largely undeveloped part of Turkey that have earned it the nickname the Turquoise Coast. The sea here really does glimmer like precious stones – one barefoot step into the warm waters will have you convinced that you made the right choice in booking a holiday in Fethiye. A bus (dolmus) ride or boat trip will have you in one of Fethiye’s pristine bays within minutes, while you can also make a day trip to the gorgeous strip of beach at Olu Deniz.
Hotels in Fethiye are of an excellent standard. Boutique hotels and simple guesthouses offering bed and breakfast are common around the marina area, with some luxury beachside hotels on the peninsula further to the west. Near the sands of Calis Beach, just to the north of central Fethiye, are more hotels offering luxury accommodation. The best hotels in Fethiye have swimming pools, spas and plentiful dining options. It is also possible to book all-inclusive Fethiye holidays, if you prefer the convenience of dining and drinking at your hotel.
