Located on the South West coast of the country, Fethiye is a wonderful district with a natural harbor, known for its unique turquoise coast since the years when tourism started to play an active role in our country. The main reason why it is included in most of the blue cruise routes is that there are dozens of bays in this region where the sea is clean and the texture is wonderful.
A museum where Lycian ruins are exhibited and streets where you will encounter a historical building at every corner have made Fethiye one of the indispensable destinations for blue cruises.
One of the most vibrant spots on the beautiful Turquoise Coast, Fethiye is the site of ancient Telmessos, the dramatic cliffs still bear the carvings of magnificent rock tombs, while a generous sprinkling of luxury bars and restaurants offer the ever-returning luxury yacht crowd everything they need ashore.
The natural harbor is considered one of the best in the region and remains a favorite stop for Mediterranean yacht charter itineraries, as much of the coast and nearby islands are only accessible by boat. The harbor is also an excellent base from which to explore the Gulf of Fethiye, the famous Dodecanese Islands and the many delights of the Aegean.
The town of Oludeniz, located 15 km south of Fethiye, is one of these beauties. It is an azure blue place dotted with white sandy beach and backed by National Park forest land. Its beauty is no secret and it can get busy during the summer months, but as an advantage of traveling by yacht, you are sure to reveal an undiscovered bay along the way.
The Gulf of Fethiye is a collector’s item, offering its own collection of gems in the form of jagged bays, inlets and islets. It is an ideal place to rest and relax, exploring the many hidden coves of the coastline here, taking long walks on land along mountain trails and ancient ruins.
