Fethiye offers a spectacular and diverse array of things to do in fethiye, blending extreme natural beauty with profound ancient history and vibrant local culture. The quintessential experience is securing a tandem paragliding flight from the majestic Babadağ Mountain, soaring high above the internationally famous turquoise waters of the Ölüdeniz Blue Lagoon for a view that is truly unparalleled globally. For sea lovers, a full-day 12 Islands boat tour is essential, providing relaxing swims in secluded bays, views of historical ruins like those on Gemiler Island, and a chance to truly appreciate the Aegean coastline's rugged charm. On land, you can step back in time by visiting the majestic Lycian Rock Tombs, particularly the Tomb of Amyntas, which are carved directly into the cliffs above the town and offer panoramic harbor views. A short drive away, the haunting, abandoned stone houses of the Kayaköy Ghost Village provide a poignant historical walk. For inland adventure, embark on an exhilarating day trip to the immense Saklıkent Gorge, one of the deepest canyons in the world, where you can wade through icy water between towering cliffs, an activity often combined with visiting the ancient ruins of Tlos. To connect with local life, spend an evening exploring the narrow, winding streets of the Old Town (Paspatur) for local shopping and dining, or visit the huge Tuesday Market for a taste of authentic regional commerce. These combined activities ensure a fully rounded holiday, catering to adventure seekers, history buffs, and those simply looking for coastal relaxation.
