The region has recently been a gateway to world tourism of Turkey with its clean beaches along with numerous resort centers and different alternatives for entertainment. The area, being serviced by international airports (at Dalaman, Milas, Izmir, Antalya) is easily accessible.

For the purist who seeks nothing so much as that untouched Arcadia, the Turquoise Coast has much to offer, while for the more traditional beach seekers, the new development of this very special corner of the Mediterranean is an invitation to visit again and again

Fethiye

From ancient port to a relaxing beach side, Fethiye provides the perfect base for exploring the beautiful nature and historic sites. Fethiye lies on a semicircular bay protected by a ring of 12 islands. Above the town , (called Telmessos in antiquity), numerous Lycian rock tombs, reproducing the facades of ancient buildings, were cut into the cliff face. The road to Fethiye winds up and down hills through a heavily forested region that offers occasional glimpses of the sea and an islet or two basking in total seclusion.

Olu Deniz

Explore the bay and beautiful Blue Lagoon (Oludeniz) where the calm, crystal clear water is ideal for swimming and other water sports. The Blue Lagoon is one of the best places in the world to do absolutely nothing but soak up the sun amid stunning natural surroundings

Kaya Koy

Kayaköy is a village of Fethiye in Turkey where Anatolian Greeks lived until the population exchange agreement signed by Turkish and Greek governments after the Independence War of Turkey. The former Greek village of Kayaköy makes a striking impression on visitors, with its stone houses and churches, narrow streets, and spectacular setting. So beautiful is the Kaya Valley, so rich the soil, so tranquil the air and so slow the pace of traditional rural life that is hard to believe that bustling Fethiye and famous Olu Deniz beach are only a short drive away. The dreamlike beauty of Kaya Valley is magnified by the evocative ruins of the abandoned Greek village of the same name.

From Hisaronu, following the road leading to the west among the forests of pine trees, we reach Kayakoyu, about 3 kms. from Hisaronü. There is also a direct shortcut in the south of Fethiye.

In the years of 1900, Kayakoyu was an important settlement center with a population of 20.000. It was vacated in line with an exchange agreement signed between Turkey and Greece in 1924. Today Kayakoy looks like a "Ghost Town" where two churches and a school are in the process of restoration with the aim of establishing a village of peace in the region. On the slopes, there are stone houses built in typical Mediterranean style, not overshadowing one another, schools, churches, chapels, workshops and other buildings, as well as intercrossing narrow streets, all of which ore reminiscent of an architectural laboratory. Kayakoyu is under protection as a prominent sample of the Anatolian cultural mosaic and will become a village of friendship, peace, science and arts in the near future, when the restoration and planning efforts are completed

And If you thought that Anatolia was just a summer destination, then check out the Taurus Mountains in winter
