That’s why you need to provide your food and drink needs.. The entrance fee is 10 TL. Another surprise from Karaot Beach: caretta caretta! If you come across it, you can see it on this beach, which is a living area.
Çalış Beach
It is a long beach that is especially preferred by Fethiye residents due to its location close to Fethiye city center.. The sandy beach is both wide and clean.. It can also be preferred for windsurfing and sailing.. There are also many cafes and restaurants on the beach promenade that extends parallel to Calis Beach.. All you have to do to watch the sunset is to lie on the warm sands.. Its only drawback is that it is crowded on weekends..

Aksazlar Camping, operated by Leb-i Derya Restaurant, is located in this bay.. Entrance fee to the peninsula shaped bay is 20 TL. You can rent sunbeds and umbrellas.
Küçük Samanlık Bay
It is called Big Samanlık Bay and Small Samanlık Bay in two ways.. There is a facility in the bay. Free entrance to the bay. If you are coming by car, the fee is 10 TL.. You can rent sunbeds and umbrellas.. Its disadvantage is that it is a stop for boat tours.
Big Samanlık Bay
Ahead of Küçük Samanlık Bay. There is no special facility. The downside is that if you want to pitch a tent, it can be difficult to supply what you need.. There is a minibus from the center of Fethiye.

The cove 4 km away from Fethiye center in Keçiler Mahallesi.. Can be very crowded on weekends. no entry fee. Vehicle fee 10 TL. Sunbeds and umbrellas can be rented..
Küçük Boncuklu Bay – Help Beach Club
Help Beach Club in Küçük Boncuklu Bay, a few years ago, a manager rented this bay for a long time and intensive work was carried out. It is located in a bay that it has brought back to tourism with the opening of its business after the. In addition to the cafe restaurant, various water sports can be done.. They even created sports fields such as beach volley.. By the way, the food is really good.. The owners of the Help Bar, which has been gathering its regulars for years with its meals in Ölüdeniz, Fethiye, opened this place.. If you wish, you can shade under the trees or on the grass, or you can sunbathe on the sun loungers on the beach.. Being clean is another advantage.. The biggest downside is the delayed service when it’s crowded.. (No more beach volley. 2020 information)
Kalemya Bay
Hillside Beach Club is located in the bay connected to Kayaköy and unfortunately it cannot be entered from outside..
Turunç Pınarı Bay
One of the Oyuktepe bays in the bay of Karaköy. It has facilities such as shower and toilet.. It got its name from the orange trees in the bay.. The disadvantage is that there is no road access
Aquarium Bay
It is a cove with clear water like an aquarium, where you can go by boat tour..
Darboğaz Bay
Located on the winding road to Gemiler Bay. Actually, it’s not exactly on it.. Because if you don’t know, when you enter from the right side of the road through a small dirt path that you cannot see, you will first see an earthen parking lot.. You should turn your back to the parking lot and continue towards the wooded area.. Then, on the path on your left, on the sea side, continue towards the sea by twisting on the path.. And here is that turquoise bay of Bottleneck.. A few years ago it was officially just us when we went. In 2018, those who pitched their tents on the beach, local and foreign, discovered this cove.. You can go to the right and left sides of the stony beach and hang on the rocks if you want.. Swimming up to the opposite rocks of the Darboğaz, which has turned into a lake, and watching this bay from the sea is an activity that must be done.. There are no businesses in Darboğaz Bay.. Disadvantage Since it is usually the stop of the boat tours departing from Ölüdeniz, the silence of the Darboğaz at certain times of the day (more so at noon) is broken by the roaring songs of the boat that makes the bay tour, “We went to the open field, in ten years…”.. Keep calm, they stay for half an hour and go.. When the boats come, don’t go too far..
Gemiler Bay
When you don’t enter Darboğaz Bay, the road takes you to Gemiler Bay.. There is a private business in Gemiler Bay. There is no shortage of food here.. You can also rent sun loungers on the sandy stony beach.. Even if you want to use the picnic tables, they are also available for rent.. You can rent a boat from Gemiler Bay and visit St.. You can pass to Nicholas Island, which is an island that should definitely be seen.. The disadvantage is that the business is a bit of good humor.
Gemiler Island or St.. Nicolas Island
Actually, the island and Gemiler Bay share the same bay, but it’s a completely different concept.. It is small but has a great visuality with its historical ruins and the lighthouse on the top of the island.. Of course, snorkeling at the edge of the island where the ruins are located is another plus.. If you want to hike to the top of the island, you need to buy a ticket.. We think you should definitely take this short walk.. Even sinking the sun at the foot of the lantern… It is indescribable and livable.. The downside is that there is no beach for those who prefer sunbathing.. Even though there is a very narrow and short area to the right of the pier, you may be disappointed if you want to enjoy the sun comfortably.
Soguksu Bay
One of the Fethiye Bays that has still managed to remain untouched.. When you pass the ghost town of Fethiye Kayaköy and leave yourself towards the path that goes towards the sea, you will arrive at Soğuksu Bay.. Of course, even though it sounds easy to say, this hiking trail is actually not that easy.. The approximately 4-kilometer hiking trail is comfortably completed with moderate conditioning and plenty of water.. There is no business on the pebble-covered beach.. Not yet, and well let’s say not.. When you open a little in Soğuksu Bay and turn the rudder to the right, you will see the pool formed by the cold water source at the junction of the sea and the rocks.. Or it would be more accurate to say that you will feel it as you move towards there.. Such a cold water source, this sheep is also the father of the name.. The disadvantage is that it is the place where the shadow falls in the afternoon, it is also on the route of the boat tours.. What’s worse is that the boat moves after the “dance show” performed by the crew on the top of the rocks.. time between clap apocalypse. Now think about it..
Oludeniz
It would be a shame to tell about Ölüdeniz, the pride of Turkey.. Even if he doesn’t go, every Turkish youth has a Ölüdeniz in mind.. Or an idea about Ölüdeniz.. Ölüdeniz was mentioned as the land of light and sun in the Lycians.. It was named the most beautiful beach in the world in 2006.. As the lagoon and the water are always clean, it is always clean
Kıdrak Bay
With its white beach, you arrive at Kidrak Bay, the neighbor of Ölüdeniz, 3 km after Ölüdeniz.. It’s really his neighbor.. Since there is a business in Kıdrak Bay, you will not have any problems with eating and drinking.. Even the pizza and french fries are pretty good.. You can rent sun loungers or umbrellas or throw your towel on the pebble and sandy beach.. The only downside is that it’s a little wavy.. But this does not decrease the popularity of Butterfly Bay.. You don’t have to worry about eating and drinking because there is a business in the bay where tent areas are also located.. One of the first names that come to mind when Fethiye is mentioned, the bay can be crowded especially on weekends.. The disadvantage is that you can only reach the bay by boat or by a difficult slope from Faralya Village.. Of course, how much of a disadvantage this is…
Pumpkin Bay
The rising trend of recent years.. Although it is the most popular bay in Fethiye after Butterfly Bay, it competes with Butterfly Valley especially in the last two years.. You won’t go hungry again because it’s a business. There is even a market.. Showers and toilets are right next to the market.. The downside is its deteriorating reputation.. No, you don’t come just to get high.
Mersinli Bay
You can go by sea.. It is not connected to the highway and has a small beach.. It is located across the Soğuksu Bay.
Beş Taşlar Bay
Another cove on the boat tour route.. It is located at the level of Mersinli Bay, diagonal to Soğuksu Bay.. There is no road transportation.
We are open to suggestions. And if there is a bay you want to add, we would be happy if you leave it in the comments..
