# Fethiye with kids: an itinerary for the day > With children in Fethiye, the star is the Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz: shallow, warm and almost without waves. In the morning — a short climb to the tomb of Amyntas, cut into the cliff above town; at midday — the lagoon; and towards evening — the cable car up Mount Babadağ, where paragliders launch over the beach.

It gets most of the day, with a short climb to a Lycian tomb above town in the morning. Towards evening — the cable car up Babadağ: cabins rise to terraces with a view of the lagoon, and paragliders take off next to them. It is for older children; with little ones you can stay on the beach. ## Getting around with children Dolmuşes run from central Fethiye to Ölüdeniz, 25–30 minutes, often and until evening. The lower cable car station is by Ölüdeniz beach, so there is no extra ride. ## More family activities near Fethiye [Butterfly Valley](https://yesgo.io/turkey/fethiye/butterfly-valley) — a cove below cliffs, by boat from Belcekız beach.
