FETHIYE 36.80N 28.60E.

Fethiye is a popular resort of great charm and beauty. The houses of the old town look down on the little port from a hill crowned with a fortress built by the Knights of Rhodes. At Fethiye (ancient Termessos), there are more than twenty impressive rock tombs cut out of the steep rock wall above the town.

The new town of Fethiye is a very Turkish port and trading town on the SW Mediterranean coast.

Fethiye is within easy reach of the popular Calis beach and Sovaliye Island opposite the town. In May basking under a warm sun, it is not unusual to see the snow capped peaks of the mountains in the distance to the east and south. The impressive mountains close to the sea in close by Oludeniz provide excellent take-off points for some very scenic paragliding.
