Fethiye's main street.
Fethiye
is a modern market town built on the site of 400BC Telmessos. Much
of the old town and some remaining Lycian ruins were deleted from
Turkey's map by a huge quake in 1958.
Still visible are an ancient Roman theatre, bits of a ruined crusader
fortress and some Lycian rock tombs on the steep hillside behind the
town - a popular sunset spot. 7km [5 miles] out of town there is also
the ghost town of Kaya Koyu, abandoned in 1923.
Fethiye is a fast growing town and well located for boat tours or
exploring the region, but fundamentally less attractive and a lot
less fun than its neighbours, Olu
Deniz.
