Things to do in Fethiye

Fethiye is one of those places where you can do a bit of everything—or nothing at all. You could spend the morning exploring ancient ruins like the rock tombs above the town, then cool off with a swim in the clear waters of Ölüdeniz. If you're feeling bold, paragliding off Babadağ is unforgettable—not just for the views, but for the feeling of flying.

A boat trip is a must. The 12 islands offer quiet bays, swim spots, and simple lunches cooked onboard. Even just wandering the harbour or stopping for a drink as the sun sets can be a highlight.

Markets, especially on Tuesdays, are great for fresh fruit and local snacks. And if you like low-key evenings, Fethiye’s old town has plenty of small bars and restaurants where you can take your time.

There’s a long list of things to do in Fethiye, but the best part is how unhurried it all feels.
