Fethiye
0252 / POP 81,500
In 1958 an earthquake levelled Fethiye, sparing only the remains of the ancient city of
Telmessos. Today, this seaside city is once again a prosperous, growing Mediterranean hub,
although low-key for its size, due mostly to the restrictions on high-rise buildings.
Fethiye's natural harbour is perhaps the region's finest, tucked away in the southern
reaches of a broad bay scattered with pretty islands, in particular Şövalye Adası, glimpsed
briefly in the James Bond film
Skyfall
. The nearby coast offers many beautiful day trips,
including Ölüdeniz and the lush, butterfly-flecked gorge and beach at
Butterfly Valley
.
