FETHİYE

Historical Places of Fethiye

After a nice breakfast, you are ready to set off. Our suggestion is to allocate this part of the day to history. Tlos and Pinara, which are about 45 km from the center, are two of the Lycian cities that were added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2009.  There are agora, baths, rock tombs, theater and sarcophagi among the ruins that have survived from Pinara, one of the most important settlements of the Lycian period. Similar to Pinara, Tlos also stands out with its magnificent ruins. Do not leave Tlos, which resembles an open air museum, without seeing the Kronos Temple and Girmeler Cave. After Tlos and Pinara, you can go to Saklıkent Canyon, one of the most impressive corners of Turkey. The Canyon is approximately 23 km from Tlos and Pinara and 44 km from the center.

Fethiye is a very fertile region in terms of historical places. It is almost impossible to see everywhere in just one day. For this reason, if you want to divert to the west instead of going to the east of Fethiye to see Tlos and Pinara, you can complete your journey in time by visiting Kayaköy, which is about 18 km from the center, and then Kadyana Ancient City, 31 km from here.
