Located on the turquoise coast of southwestern Turkey, Fethiye is a vibrant and beautiful city filled with attractions that celebrate both the country's ancient past and its wonderful natural landscapes. It is renowned for its marvelous Lycian rock tombs, the most famous being Amyntas Tomb, intricately carved into the hillside and providing panoramic views of the city. Not just historical attractions, Fethiye is also loved for its gorgeous beaches such as Oludeniz - admired for pristine waters and paragliding opportunities, and Calis - popular for spectacular sunsets. There's also the natural haven, Butterfly Valley, a canyon teeming with rare butterfly species. Fethiye's bustling harbor, charming old town with an array of shops and delicious traditional eateries, and fresh fish markets where you can choose your meal and have it cooked instantly, add to the uniqueness of this seaside Turkish city.

I stayed in Kabak Bay for two weeks.  Since it was winter, it was very quiet.  Nature interwined.  There are minibuses available at regular intervals, or you can reach there by taxi or car.  I heard it's very busy and fun during the summer months.  You can find an atmosphere like the hipsters of the 60s here in the summer.
