Easy route with stunning views. Elevation is just 600 m., so if you can walk 20 km on foot you wont have much problems with this trail. Try to start as early as you can, if you have a suspicion that physical exersize combined with +40 heat may be not your piece of cake. About 2 liters of water is enough to last you between wells, but try not to step on bees there, unless it feels too easy and you want to add intoxication to the list of your problems, just fill you bottle politely and leave.

Fly like a bird above the spectacular Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz on this epic tandem paragliding experience from Fethiye. Feel the excitement build on route to Babadağ Mountain, the peak that towers over the aquamarine lagoon and Ölüdeniz beach. Then, harness up with a professional pilot for a thrilling paragliding ride. Soar into the sky, ride the warm breezes and marvel at the aerial views as your pilot controls your speed and direction before a gentle touchdown on the beach. Simply exhilarating, and no experience required. Begin your experience with a pickup from your hotel in Fethiye and travel by air-conditioned coach or minivan to Babadağ Mountain. This 6,500-feet (1,960-meter) peak looms over Ölüdeniz beach and the Blue Lagoon, one of Turkey's most photographed beauty spots, and is a top paragliding location. It's also one of the world's highest takeoff points, making paragliding from here truly special. After around an hour's journey, arrive at the takeoff point and absorb the magnificent views. Wear your helmet and flying suit, and receive a full safety briefing from the professional, experienced pilot flying tandem with you. Learn how the takeoff involves catching the wind from a slope rather than jumping from a cliff, and how your pilot will control your flight throughout your roughly 20- to 30-minute ride. Specialists will monitor the weather on the day, and also just before takeoff, to ensure the conditions are perfectly safe and right for flying. Then, make the run-up and thrill as you ascend upwards. After the initial adrenaline rush, soak up the bird's-eye views of the mountain-ringed lagoon and golden beaches below, and take photos, too. As you float, enjoy exciting 360-degree turns and rise on warm air currents as your pilot steers and controls your chute and catches thermal flows that may extend your ride further. Finish your flight with a gentle touchdown on Ölüdeniz beach. Then, relish the memories of your adventure on your drive back to Fethiye, where your experience ends with a hotel drop-off.
4. Knidos

An ancient city in a beautiful place. Although from afar it seems pretty small but since you're in the site you realize how actually big for that time the city was. There's not much left of it but even the stones that still remain give an impression how well designed Knidos was. The harbour is something amazing. They used the natural bays and improved the safety for ships with walls both sides, west and east. There's also a lighthouse at the point, it's a bit of a walk but worthy every step. Gorgeous views from the path and from the hill.

Reviewed By jeannine20657 - Pershore, United Kingdom
This ancient site was an important town which originally belonged to the Lycian people. Like all important sites, it had a chequered history, subsequently belonging to the Greeks, the Romans and even an Ottoman overlord. The archaeologists excavate here each summer finding more and more treasures, many of which are safely displayed in the museum in Fethiye. There are an impressive number of rock tombs, some Roman and some earlier Lycian ones which are as old as the pyramids. Tucked away and very difficult to access, is the largest and most impressive tomb, belonging to a Lycian priest, the walls are carved with animals and Pegasus. Also on the site is a Roman stadium and very impressive amphitheatre which are currently closed to the public because of the excavations. The climb up to the Fortress is indeed strenuous but the views from the top give a glimpse into why this was an important site - you can see literally miles and miles in all directions! Well worth a visit!!
