FETHIYE
One of the oldest settlements in Anatolia, the name Fethiye - literally 'Dead Sea' - refers to the surrounding turquoise waters that are calm throughout the year.

Here you can watch the breathtaking wheeling of parachutists in the blue skies above while, sunbathing on the hot, golden sands.

Take a yacht from Fethiye and the captain will be happy to sail you to Butterfly Valley and the many caves of the area.

Ride the sand on horseback amid Hellenistic and Roman ruins at Patara Beach.

No less spectacular are the Kayakoy dwellings where Turks and Greeks lived side by side and where the famous King Amyntas' was buried in a magnificent rock grave.
