Fethiye is a port city, and district, on Turkey's southwestern Turquoise Coast. It's known for its natural harbor, blue waters and numerous rock tombs including the 4th-century B.C. Tomb of Amyntas, carved into a bluff overlooking the city. Near-shore islands are popular for day trips by boat. In the south, the beach at Ölüdeniz is sheltered by a lagoon, and Butterfly Valley is a designated nature reserve.

Pedasa Antique City

Reviewed By scipioa2019

I did everything you must not do. I imagined it would be like Mycenae or Troy (ie very very small), wrong!! - no research (just a hotel map) no water, no mobile phone, no compass. Belief me - I am fit but it would have been very easy to die in this place. We took a taxi from Bodrum, late September. There was no one manning the gate, so we drove about a mile and was dropped off at the Watch Tower where there were some people who had clearly given up at the first hill. However there were some stones coloured with white and red paint and a couple of badly faded signs. Passing several walls and strange open holes we went over the first hill, came to a large clearing and in front was a second large hill with a very steep climb and a wall visible. I left my wife at the clearing and went up the hill myself expecting it take about half an hour. I returned from the top quickly as a realised time I had taken too long. there were so many goat trails that although I started correctly (had left a maker) but I was soon lost in the trees. I never managed to find her. With the heat and thirst, I hallucinated and started to lose strength. Trying to find a path through the trees and thorn bushes was impossible but I found a dried up river bed and after going the wrong way at first, retraced my steps, climbing higher and stumbled on the stones of the some part of the city. In clearing I found some full but discarded bottle of water which I drank and then a track used by vehicles. I knew it was leading the wrong way but (correctly) followed it down to a main road at the North end of the isthmus near Torba where a kind motorcyclist took me (bloody, torn and battered) to Bodrum. The Police and a Search Team were looking for me but I never saw any one - but thank them profoundly for their efforts and hope they excuse by recklessness, My ordeal lasted 7 hours. I post this account to warn others on no account to follow by stupidity - it may be your last.

We took the boat to the beach and the journey was great to experience nice and relaxing along the river. When we arrived we decided to walk to the end of the beach to visit the turtle sanctuary it was very interesting and worth visiting and making a donation. we walked back along the sandy beach and it was a very pleasant day out we returned via boat and arrived in the evening sun which was very nice. The beach has plently of facilities , showers changing huts etc and a cafe type place plently of sun loungers and nice warm sea! Overall it was a great day out!

Yahsi Beach

Reviewed By TrWorldTraveler - Bloomington, United States

In the Bodrum areas, some bays are not as wide open as Ortakent yahsi beach. That is why, often times, they are not as clean as this beach. The yahsi beach is also perfect for water sports such as surfing, sailing or parasailing. Other water activities like banana, jet skis are available too. There are great ice cream shops, cafes, restaurants and shops in this bay. Our favorites are Lugga hotel, Zest hotel, Kefi beach club, bar/restaurant, Vira’s beach/restaurant, seafood restaurants near the yahsi marina and Bitez dondurma.
