# One day in Fethiye: an itinerary in the best order

> One day in Fethiye covers three very different places. In the morning — the Lycian tomb of Amyntas, cut into the cliff above town; then Kayaköy, an abandoned Greek village of hundreds of stone houses; and after lunch the Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz with its warm, shallow water. Each leg is about half an hour by dolmuş or taxi.

## What to see in Fethiye in one day

The morning is in town: the tomb of Amyntas and the other Lycian tombs above the centre, with a view of the harbour. Then Kayaköy, 8 km south: the abandoned village of Levissi, often mistaken for an ancient city.

After lunch — Ölüdeniz: the Blue Lagoon behind its sandspit and the long beach below Mount Babadağ. From Kayaköy you can also walk there on an old path, about 5 km down to the sea.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate.

## Getting around: dolmuş and taxi

Dolmuş minibuses run from central Fethiye to Kayaköy and Ölüdeniz; to the lagoon it is 25–30 minutes. Between Kayaköy and Ölüdeniz a taxi or the walking path is easier. Dolmuşes back from Ölüdeniz run until evening.

## Walking from Kayaköy to Ölüdeniz

The old path from Kayaköy to Ölüdeniz beach is about 5 km over the hill, mostly downhill, with views of the lagoon. Wear good shoes, take water and go only in daylight.

## What else to see near Fethiye

[Babadağ](https://yesgo.io/turkey/fethiye/babadag) — a cable car and paragliding over the lagoon. [Butterfly Valley](https://yesgo.io/turkey/fethiye/butterfly-valley) — a cove below cliffs, by boat from Ölüdeniz. [Saklıkent](https://yesgo.io/turkey/fethiye/saklikent-gorge), [Tlos](https://yesgo.io/turkey/fethiye/tlos) and [Patara](https://yesgo.io/turkey/fethiye/patara) — a day south to Lycian cities and one of Turkey's longest beaches.

## Tips

- The tomb of Amyntas and Kayaköy are €3 each for foreigners.
- The Blue Lagoon park is paid; the neighbouring Belcekız beach is free.
- Kayaköy has almost no shade: come in the morning and bring water.
- Dolmuşes to Ölüdeniz run often — no timetable needed.
- Turkey uses the lira (TRY). Cards work almost everywhere; carry some cash for dolmuş minibuses, boats and small cafés. Museum tickets for foreigners are priced in euros and paid by card.
