Fethiye is a small modern town on the Turquoise coast with a mix of tourists and local people. All the locals know ow each other and look out for each other, hence why crime is low. I have lived here as a single woman for years and feel totally safe at any time of day or night.
Posted: September 3, 2025It's one of the safest places in Turkey. In summer I can sleep with an open door inside my caravan. Seaside is safe to put tent and I know women living in tents by the seaside. It's not so crowded so you feel totally safe. And security teams work really good and they're very helpfull.
Posted: December 28, 2024Overall safe because Fethiye hosts many tourists during summer season. General precautions should be taken against stealing. Locals are generally friendly but there might be catcalling. You should try to avoid secluded areas, especially late at night.
