Fethiye Sailing Holidays & Yacht Vacations

History of Fethiye

Named after Apollo’s son, Fethiye was known as the Telmessos in the ancient era. Fethiye was home to great civilizations such as Ancient Greece, Persian Empire, Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. The town was conquered by the Persians in the 6th century B.C and was taken back by Alexander the Great in the 4th century. Soon after the death of Alexander the Great Telmessos came under the control of Ptolemy I Soter. Later it was occupied by the Roman Empire. Fethiye remained within the borders of the Eastern Roman Empire/Byzantium after the Roman Empire was divided. In 1282, Mentese Beyligi conquered Fethiye, and in 1424, they joined the Ottomans, by then Fethiye was known as Megri. In 1913, Ottomans changed the name to Fethiye in the memory of Fethi Bey, an Ottoman aviator and one of our first pilots. Since the region was home to various civilizations, it is possible to see historical sites. If you want to go on a sailing holiday in Fethiye, we also recommend you to see Tlos, Cadianca, Xanthos, Letoon, Oludeniz, Kaya Village, and Nicholas Island.

Coves of Fethiye

Fethiye has many beautiful natural wonders. You can visit coves that are reachable only by sea and enjoy nature. We listed some of the great Fethiye coves for you.

Oludeniz

Oludeniz, known as the land of light and sun in antiquity, is known for its calm sea and beautiful nature. In 2006 Bild, the most popular newspaper in Germany ranked the Oludeniz (Blue Lagoon) as “The Most Beautiful Beach in the World” with 82% of the votes. With its turquoise sea, pale sands and lush nature, Oludeniz is a popular area of Fethiye. We recommend you enjoy this turquoise sea by chartering a yacht from Fethiye.

Butterfly Valley

Butterfly Valley fascinates its visitors with the unique characteristics of its turquoise sea and endemic local butterfly species. Since the Valley is a protected area, it preserved its natural beauty to this day. The valley, which houses more than 70 butterfly species, is named after the famous tiger butterfly. If you want to see the butterflies and enjoy the calmest season of the valley, then you should begin your sailing holiday in Fethiye in April or May. Additionally, the Valley is reachable from land. However, due to the bends and rocky roads, people prefer to go there with yachts instead.

Kabak Cove

Located next to the Butterfly Valley, Kabak Cove managed to preserve its beauty to this day. With the clarity of its sea and calmness of its nature, Kabak Cove refreshes the hearts and minds of its visitors, and therefore, it is among the most popular stops of sailing holidays. As the cove protected by law, there are no settlements. Therefore, if you intend to spend the night in this cove, we recommend you have enough food provisions with you.

Gemiler Island & Cove

Gemiler Island, known as St. Nicholas Island in the ancient era, is located opposite to Gemiler Cove, sharing the same name. It is known for its rich history and its beautiful nature. There are historical sites from the Early Christian period on the island. The cove, covered with trees and surrounded by crystal clear sea, is perfect for yacht vacations. We recommend you discover this beautiful cove and island by chartering a yacht in Fethiye.

Katranci Cove

Gunluklu Cove

Taking its name from the rare Gunluk trees (Turkish Sweetgum or Liquidambar Orientalis), this cove fascinates visitors with its calm environment and lush nature. Gunluklu Cove gets filled with a pleasant smell produced by the trees when its dark. This cove has a clear and shallow sea, and as a result, it is very safe for children and those who do not know how to swim.

Tarzan Cove

This magnificent cove fascinates its visitors with its unique harmony of blue and green. It takes its name from a long rope tied to a tree extending over the sea. People use this rope to swing and throw themselves into the sea.

There are many different colors and varieties of crabs and fish in the water. Thanks to its landscape and the forests, the cove is sheltered by all kinds of weather conditions. The sea is crystal clear and hosts islets large and small.

Kidrak Cove
