One is at a loss for words to describe the beauty of
Fethiye. If you are incurably addicted to exploring new
horizons and are a lover of nature, this is the
destination for you… What is it that makes these shores
so delightfully indented with innumerable coves and the
unbelievable beauty of nature. What makes it so
alluring? Perhaps it is a bit of everything, who knows?

To wander
through the bays of Fethiye is an adventure, an exuberance,
a spring of joy. While passing from one to another, the
grandeur that spreads out before your eyes is enhanced by
the silhouettes of tiny islands, which lead you astray.
Fethiye is
located in South—West Mediterranean Turkey, connected to all
other cities by three highways and reached very easily.
Dalaman International Airport is as close as 50 km. to the
town centre. During the tourist season one can find many
flights from major European cities to Fethiye besides the
domestic flights throughout the year by Turkish Airlines.
Additionally Antalya Airport, three –hour drive to Fethiye,
is another departure point.

Fethiye seaport
with its sheltered natural structure is an important stop
for yachtsmen. A new modern marina project will be realised
soon for a large number of yachts with all facilities on the
other end at the bay.
The whole region excluding Fethiye and Eşen lowlands is
covered with high mountains forming the south
western spurs of the Taurus Range. These
mountains exceeding 2000 meters extend the coastline. On a
sunny winter day it is a real pleasure to view the pines and
snow decorated peaks intertwined with the blue sky. Besides
the refreshing woody slopes with thyme, sage, laurel and
pine trees the exceptional incense forest is another
peculiarity of the Fethiye region. Covering a 100-hectare
area the incense forest is an ideal campsite and a picnic
area. Balsam obtained from incense trees has pharmaceutical
and cosmetic value and it is also used as a fumigate in
mosques and churches.
Mediterranean climate
with hot, dry summers and warm, wet winters prevails in the
region temperatures are approximately 30°C in summers and
usually not less than 12°C in winters. Seawater temperature
is hardly below 17°C all year round.
In Fethiye, with its abundance and fertile
land, agriculture is of major prominence. Therefore whilst
in other holiday resorts it becomes quiet at end of the
season, life in Fethiye flows on throughout the 12 months.
