Fethiye is a port city located on the Turquoise Coast of Turkey. Known for its natural harbor and turquoise blue waters, Fethiye is situated around 144 kms away from Antalya in the Aegean region of Turkey. Several rock tombs and beachfront promenades make for tourist spots in the city.

The Butterfly Valley of Fethiye is a designated nature reserve with lush green hills overlooking the city and the Gulf of Fethiye and is considered a great day-trip from the town. The beach at Oludeniz is sheltered by lagoons and covered with warm brown sand. Despite the existence of several ancient ruins, the town, in particular, enjoys a cosmopolitan vibe, with bustling bazaars and a chill night scene. Fethiye is popular for boat day trips with 12 islands nearby and is the starting point for many yacht multi-day tours.
