Fethiye Paragliding
Fethiye Paragliding is located in Fethiye in southwestern Türkiye, boasting unique natural conditions that make it an ideal place for paragliding. Travelers take off from the 1700 m-high Babadağ Mountain, overlooking the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Blue Lagoon of Ölüdeniz, while feeling the gentle touch of the wind and the thrill of free flight. A professional team of instructors provides detailed safety guidance for each participant, with tandem paragliding controlled by certified coaches to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Besides paragliding, Fethiye offers a variety of optional water activities, such as diving and sailing boats, allowing travelers to explore freely between the blue sky and sea. Additionally, the surrounding natural landscapes and historical sites, like Ölüdeniz Lake and Saklıkent Canyon, are worth exploring, adding more fun to your journey.Fethiye · 4.2km from downtown
Oludeniz
Turkey's Dead Sea is located in Oludeniz, south of Fethiye. Although the place name is chilling, it has a soft sandy beach that is enough to enjoy the style of the Mediterranean coast. Changing rooms, shower rooms, and open-air bars are also available. Typical of Turkish European beaches. A big turn of the Mediterranean Sea on Turkey's long and tortuous southwestern coastline has created the huge Turkish Dead Sea. The entire coast is surrounded by mountains, forming a calm and waveless lagoon. Because the water here is calm and the reflection in the water is almost still, it is named "Dead Sea". This is a natural beach in southwestern Turkey, you can swim, but the beach is pebbled, so it is recommended to wear beach shoes. In addition, paragliding is also a popular sport here. When you fly into the air, you will experience peace and tranquility. The feeling of integration with the blue sky, blue sea, green mountains and white sand is very wonderful.Fethiye · 12.3km from downtown
Oludeniz Beach
Oludeniz Beach is located in Fethiye on the southwest coast of Türkiye. The name "Dead Sea" is translated from the Turkish "Ölüdeniz," referring to the bay's year-round calm waters—even when the open sea is rough, the water enclosed by the sandbar remains as calm as a mirror, and it has no relation to the high-salinity Dead Sea in the Middle East. A curved sandbar separates the open sea from the Blue Lagoon on the inside: the outer beach faces the open sea, while the inner lagoon is shallow and clear, transitioning from turquoise to sapphire blue, with pine-covered hillsides all around, creating a picture-perfect scene of blue, white, and green.Fethiye · 12.5km from downtown
Butterfly Valley
Butterfly Valleyis a nearly isolated canyon on the coast of Fethiye, backed by Babadağ Mountain, with steep cliffs 200–300m high plunging almost vertically into the sea, and the valley floor hides a small pebble beach and a bay of clear, turquoise water. The valley is inaccessible by road, and most visitors arrive by island-hopping boat from Oludeniz, a trip of about half an hour, often arranged as an early stop on these tours. The valley is named after the Jersey tiger moths and other butterflies that inhabit it. In midsummer, they gather in swarms deep in the canyon. You often won't see them if you stay only on the beach. To find them, you need to hike along the trail inside the valley, passing through dense vegetation, accompanied by streams, shade, and birdsong along the way. At the end is a clear spring waterfall, and that cool, moist valley area is where the butterflies gather.Fethiye · 18.1km from downtown
Fethiye Old Town
Fethiye Old Town is the old bazaar district of Fethiye, a small city on the Mediterranean coast of southwestern Türkiye, and one of the few areas in the city that retained its old buildings after the 1957 earthquake. Today, it has been converted into a pedestrian zone, with terracotta-colored cobblestone alleys spreading out around the central square. Vines hang down from above the alleys, weaving a natural canopy of shade, and the old stone houses on both sides have mostly been converted into shops and restaurants. The atmosphere is leisurely during the day, and it is much more comfortable to stroll through in midsummer than under the scorching sun by the sea. Shopping is the highlight of the old town. Carpets, kilim rugs, textiles, mosaic glass lamps, leather goods, and gold and silver jewelry are packed into every small shop. There are also antique shops and cooperatives selling local honey, while the sweet scent of spice shops and Turkish delight shops follows you along the way. If you get tired of walking, you can choose a traditional restaurant to sit down and order a kiln-baked pide or a few home-style stews. Alternatively, you can go to the fish market on the side of the old town to select the day's catch and have it cooked on the spot by nearby restaurants. This way of choosing your own ingredients and having them cooked fresh is an experience many tourists come specifically to enjoy. The old town takes on a different look in the evening, with tables and chairs from cafes and restaurants set out on the streets. After nightfall, bars and traditional taverns take over, making this the center of the city's nightlife. Tourists who love photography should keep an eye out for the alleyways hung with colorful umbrellas and the paths shaded by vines, both of which are popular photo spots in the old town. If you get tired of walking, you can also visit the 16th-century Ottoman bathhouse in the district to experience a traditional Turkish bath.Fethiye · 4.6km from downtown

It was a fantastic experience. The customer service was incredibly reliable, promptly answering and resolving any questions. The local supplier we arranged was also incredibly reliable. The pilot, with over 20 years of flying experience and a keen sharer, created an unforgettable experience. A highly recommended and reliable choice!

The Dead Sea in Fethiye, Turkey, has a very high salt content. People can swim here without sinking even if they are not familiar with the water. It is really magical. The visibility of the sea water is also very high, and the azure blue is as beautiful as amber, attracting many tourists to come for diving.

This is a very beautiful bay, the sea water is blue, like a striking piece of turquoise. The Turks like the color blue very much, and their souvenirs are blue eyes, which are said to ward off evil spirits. Most of the beaches here are for locals to vacation. This beach is said to be a popular beach on the Internet.

If you want to reach Butterfly Valley, you can only take a boat or walk down from a small village above. This village is called Faraya Village. There is a beautiful beach and a dense jungle canyon, which is very suitable for a slow walk. However, if you come by boat, since it is just an attraction on the way, the stay time is not long, but it is enough to walk around.

My husband and I flew at sunset. We absolutely loved it. It's only scary for the first two minutes, then you soar like a bird and enjoy it. Everything was perfect! They picked us up and took us to the mountain, explained everything, and gave our personal belongings to the pilot during the flight. We took wonderful photos. I highly recommend it!
