Outdoor Activities

Fethiye is situated in the heart of Lycia, and an ideal centre for visiting the ancient cities surrounding the town. Also Fethiye is quite close distance to Turkey’s famous sites as Ephesus, Pamukkale, Antalya, Patara and Dalyan—Turtle’s Beach.
There are various alternatives for daily activities besides enjoying sun—bathing on the beach.

Flying tandem with high experienced licensed pilots from Babadağ (1975 mt.) to Belcekız Beach in 30—40 minutes with enjoying fantastic view of Ölüdeniz. From the hotel to the take off place is about 45 min. Jeep ride on the slope of the mountain. After getting your equipment on, all you have to do is to run a few steps along with the wind and than let yourself go in to the sky. Adrenaline and freedom. Live it...

Diving:
The life in the sea has a rich variation from fish, octopos, eels and dolphins. Lots of fauna plants and coral is waiting for underwater photographer’s flashes to show the marvellous colours.

Jeep Safari
If the thing above didn't make you swet enough, I suggest you a Jeep Safari Tour in Fethiye. Only some of the things what you can face during the tour are; a flat tire, stuck in mud, engine stop while passing a river, etc. Approximately 20 jeeps will be in your convoy, and the speed limit is 70 km/h.
