5-Valley of Butterflies
Butterfly Valley, one of the natural beauties of Fethiye, is home to lush forests and more than 80 butterfly species. Especially the Tiger Butterfly is a butterfly species that deserves to be seen. However, it is not possible to see butterflies outside of May. When you look at this valley from the sea, which was declared a protected area in 1995 and closed for construction, nothing disturbs your eyes. If you want to set foot on land, you can also discover a waterfall pouring 50 meters high in the depths of the valley.

6-Gemiler Island
Famous for its historical ruins and beautiful beaches, Gemiler Island, also known as Aya Nikola Island, is one of the islands worth exploring in Fethiye. Some of the historical ruins on the island were submerged by earthquakes 1800 years ago. Swimming over these ruins 2 meters below the sea is an exciting experience.

7-Katrancı Bay
Katrancı Bay, which has a calm and peaceful atmosphere, is 15 km away from Fethiye. This is the bay of Katrancı Nature Park, where you can anchor with your yacht and enjoy the sea and the sun. The beach may be a little crowded in July-August, but you will not feel this crowd as you will be out in the open with your yacht and you will be fascinated by the beauty of the bay.

8-Tersane Island
Tersane Island, which stands out with its historical and natural beauties, is one of the most beautiful places in Fethiye Bay. While exploring the historical ruins of the Greek population in the Ottoman period, you can also enjoy the magnificent nature views. The island got its name from the shipyard located here during the Byzantine and Ottoman periods.

9- Kabak Bay
Kabak Bay, one of the most beautiful bays of Fethiye, amazes those who see it with its natural beauties. Bringing the mountains covered with red pine trees together with the turquoise waters of the Aegean, the bay is under protection as it is a first-degree protected area.

10-Şövalye Island
The island, which looks like a wishbone from a bird's eye view, was named Knight because it was once home to the Knights of Rhodes. It is the only inhabited island among the surrounding islands. In addition to a castle from the knights on the island, the remains of a chapel and a cistern from the Byzantine period can also be seen.

11-Küçük Samanlık Bay
There are almost no waves in this bay, which will blow your mind with its crystal-clear aquarium-like sea. For this reason, it is one of the frequent destinations of yachtsmen. The larger cove on the side is Büyük Samanlık Cove.
