March 31: Kalkan to Fethiye
Enclosed farmers' market at Fethiye

Fethiye (Telmessos) rests on a broad Mediterranean bay boasting some of Turkey's best beaches and yachting.

Some 2400 years ago, Fethiye (FET-hee-yeh) was the prominent town of Telmessos, but earthquakes have left only a few Lycian stone sarcophagi from the old town, along with the dramatic Tomb of Amyntas carved into the sheer rock cliff high above the town.

Fethiye is the starting point of the Lycian Way, a 500-km (311-mile) footpath through the rugged mountains of the Tekke Peninsula to Antalya.
