LOCATION ON THE LYCIAN COAST OF TURKEY 

Fethiye is 17km from both vacation villas and you can either use the regular Dolmus minibuses or it's an easy 25 minutes drive to a bustling port with lots to offer. By the harbour you can walk past the boats or relax in the many bars and tea-houses. In the Old Town there are shops offering quality leather goods, carpets and designer clothes and the Turkish Bath (hamam) is a must!

There are many good restaurants and an excellent food market with meat and fish at very low prices and also three major supermarkets as well as the famous Fethiye Tuesday Market. Fethiye is steeped in history and near the harbour you can see Lycian Tombs cut out of the mountainside above a Roman amphitheatre.

Calis Beach is a easy 20 minute drive from the holiday villas with a 5km shingle beach, many bars, restaurants and a water park. You can also conveniently reach Fethiye from here by water taxi. Olu Deniz, lively Hisaronu and Kaya Koy ghost village are all a short distance from Fethiye. You must see the many para-gliders at Olu Deniz and also visit the Blue Lagoon with its secluded sandy beaches.

Hisaronu has many night clubs, restaurants and tourist shops and nearby Kaya Koy is a ghost village that was deserted after the population exchanges - read Birds Without Wings by Louis De Bernieres. Patara Beach is one hour away with a 20km length of sandy beach, many Lycian tombs and recently excavated Roman ruins and just further down the coast is lovely Kalkan town.
