If all places and all seas were known by a colour, Fethiye’s colour would be turquoise. The word turquoise, a blue that has more than a hint of green, comes from the blue used in the Turkish tile work. The most beautiful shade of the colour blue came and settled on the waters of the Ölüdeniz (Dead Sea). Towards evening, around sunset, you catch such a wonderful turquoise you can never see on any other seas. If you call it blue you are wrong, if you say it is green it is not that either but both together. It is difficult to put it into words. It is best if you go and see it for yourself and be hit by a lightening bolt! . Once you get to Fethiye and check into you accommodation, get out and see the bazaar. Once you visit the town’s pleasant bazaar you feel as if everything has been planned and preserved for you, with its narrow and shady streets and tiny squares. You will forget about being a foreigner and feel as if you have lived here for years. However, once it is the evening the colour and nature of the market will suddenly change. It is now the time for the restaurants and bars. The fish start sizzling on the grill and the aniseed scent of Turkey’s national drink, rakı, can be smelled. The heat of the day is left behind and the coolness of the evening settles in. It is not easy to visit the region surrounding Fethiye in just a few days. Here are all you will need and want for a holiday. History, culture, nature, beaches, aqua sports, the best paragliding in Turkey, the most impressive historical sites, best coves, cuisine and shopping. The number of places that you can get such full on holiday and enjoy it other than Fethiye itself are rare. This is why it is difficult to fit Fethiye into just a few pages. Let us begin our trip. The Town TourIn ancient times Telmessos was famed as the city of the oracles. The ancient city was founded on a large area of land, running from the foothills of the mountains that are the backdrop for modern Fethiye and all the way down to the gulf. You can see the remains of the city today. Once you look above, you will see the tomb of King Amyntas. The tomb is in the Ionic style and in shape of a temple. In its front you can see two columns, on the centre of the left hand column is written "Son of Hermapias Amyntas". Inside there are three stone benches. Inside and around the town you will come across many tombs carved into the rocks and other types. The most important one is the monumental Lycian tomb next to the Post Office (PTT) that is covered with reliefs of warriors. On the hill that rises to the south of the town there are the ruins of a castle that is believed to have been built by the Knights of St. John on the site of the Telmessos acropolis. The castle was later used by the Ottomans. Those who climb up the hill will see the remains of the castle, cisterns and a small cemetery of rock-cut tombs on the east of the hill. The Telmessos theatre was unearthed after the excavations above the port. The theatre, with a capacity of 5,000 people, was built in the Early Roman era and restored in the 2nd century AD, later being used as an arena in the Byzantine era. In its present condition the theatre can seat 1,500 people and restoration work is underway. Among the Ottoman era buildings in Fethiye, there is the Eski Cami (Old Mosque), built in 1791, and the Fethiye Hamamı (Turkish Bath). Both are in the Paspatur Çarşısı (Bazaar). The 14 domed, six arched bath is still in use. The Fethiye Martyrs Memorial was opened in 2001 and commemorates those lost their lives in the Independence War, the Çanakkale War (Gallipoli Campaign) and the Korean War. The reliefs that surround the memorial depict soldiers killed in the wars Yazılarla İlişiki Seçenekleri
