| Property
for sale in Fethiye is located in one of the most interesting and
picturesque areas of Turkey. The popular resort of Fethiye, on Turkey’s
Mediterranean coast, sits at the head of a beautiful bay strewn
with islands. A hill crowned by the ruins of the crusader fortress
built by the Knights of Rhodes overlooks the port and, above the
town, numerous Lycian rock tombs are cut into the cliff face. The
town itself is a prosperous mix of tradition, history and new investment.
The majority of people there speak English.
Fethiye balances the attractions of a bustling resort town with
the functionality of a working regional centre. It makes a good
base for exploring the surrounding coastline and countryside. You'll
find a good range of shops, eating places and accommodation, and
excellent transport services to surrounding attractions. The harbour
area makes a pleasant place to spend the evening and the pedestrianised
old town is appealing and a good place to shop for souvenirs. You
might want to consider the 12 islands boat trip, a nice way to see
the bay and an opportunity to seek out the quieter beaches and coves
only accessible from the sea.
The Fethiye region is idyllic, with turquoise seas, a dramatic
coastline and pine-clad mountains with hidden valleys and gorges.
Steady winds make Fethiye Bay perfect for sailing and windsurfing.
The Gulf of Göcek and its friendly marina is one of the Mediterranean's
best sailing spots and Hisaronu, at the foot of Mount Babadag-Oludeniz,
is a popular paragliding centre.
Kalkan, a little further south, has started to grow over the past
couple of years and property here is much in demand. The historic
town is an enchanting place. Kalkan enjoys strict conservation laws,
and remains a charming and unspoiled haven of lush nature, brilliant
blue crystal-clear sea, historic architecture and warm traditional
Turkish hospitality.
