Overview
South of the majestic Taurus Mountains, lie the shores of the
western Mediterranean Sea with its beaches of fine sand, its panoramic
views of uncommon beauty, many ancient ruins, hidden coves and tempting
hideaways.
On the hillside of Mount Mendos, the pretty
town of Fethiye sits on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, named because as the
sun sets, its waters are the clearest turquoise shade you’ve ever seen.
The town itself has a wealth of historical and cultural sights and
artefacts, the bazaar with its narrow, shady streets and tiny squares,
great shopping and dining out, outstanding beaches, every kind of water
sport and the pine-clad Taurus Mountains to explore at your leisure.
A
peaceful resort and fishing town on the beautiful Turquoise Coast,
Kalkan is largely untouched by mass tourism. Because of its undeniable
charm, Kalkan attracts many visitors who come time and time again to
this heavenly spot. And famed for its breathtaking beauty, Olu Deniz,
like neighbouring Fethiye has become one of Turkey’s most acclaimed
resorts. A popular anchorage for visiting yachts, in summer the sky
above the lagoon is filled with paragliders soaring off the nearby
mountains.
