WHILE YOU’RE THERE ...
Kayaköy
A relic of the area’s more recent history
is the so-called ghost town of ‘Kayaköy’,
a village of some 2000 houses, cottages
and churches, which was abandoned by its
Greek population in 1923, when they were
relocated. Kayaköy is likely to attract lots
of attention this year as it is the setting
for Louis de Berniere’s new novel.
Saklikent
Saklikent, the ‘hidden city’, is a spectacular
mountain gorge, where cold, fresh water
rushes down from the mountains through
a narrow opening. Wooden walkways have
been constructed for visitors to marvel at
this natural wonder, and restaurants serve
fresh fish. A refreshing way to spend a
long, hot day!
Cruising & Diving
Fethiye’s charming harbour is the starting
point for a ‘blue cruise’ taking in the
deserted bays, coves and islands of this
beautiful stretch of coastline. For those
who prefer the views under the water,
Fethiye has also become an important
centre for scuba diving and there is plenty
to attract those at all levels, from complete
beginner to professional diver.
Adventure Sports
There are watersports available from
Ölüdeniz and Calis beach but those seeking
real thrills will undoubtedly want to try
paragliding from the Babadag mountains,
enjoying stunning views during the descent
before landing close to Ölüdeniz beach. |
