Fethiye, south coast of Turkey

N36°37.34 E029°05.55
(April 2009)
Excellent holding and good shelter. We’ve met people who wintered at anchor here in the past. Landed at ‘Yes’ Marina pontoon and walked into town. The town is great. They have a fabulous, massive market on Tuesdays (next to the river). Carrefore in town and BIM (Turkey’s cheap supermarket) is past the Carrefore, in the street behind the Post Office. The impressive Lycian tombs in the hillside are just 10 min walk from town.

We visited Kayaköy (the stone village deserted as a result of the population exchange and inspiration for the village in Louis de Bernieres’ Birds Without Wings). Catch the dolmuş (labelled ‘Kaya’) from near the big mosque (past Carrefore).
