Top 5 Routes to Explore by Renting a Car in Fethiye
Fethiye is a true holiday paradise with its turquoise bays, pine-scented mountain roads, and thousands of years of history. But if you really want to "experience" this paradise, you shouldn't confine your vacation between a hotel room and the beach. Geographically, Fethiye is spread over quite a large area. Because of this, waiting for minibus schedules under the scorching summer sun or allocating high budgets for taxis can dampen your holiday spirit a bit.
So, what's the solution? Drawing your own route, turning on the AC, and hitting the road freely accompanied by your favorite songs. Let's assume you've rented your vehicle with the assurance of Fethiye Rent a Car; the ignition key is in your hand. So, where are we steering now? Here are the 5 fascinating routes you absolutely must explore by renting a car in Fethiye!
1. The Most Beautiful Shade of Blue: Ölüdeniz and Belcekız Beach
It would be unfair not to start the list with the apple of Fethiye's eye. When you set off from the center of Fethiye in your car, you can reach Ölüdeniz in about 20-25 minutes by driving along that delightful road winding through the pine trees.
Why Should You Go by Car? In the early hours of the morning, before the crowds descend on the beach, the pleasure of swimming at the famous Kumburnu is completely different. By hitting the road early in your car, you can grab the best parking spot and enjoy the sea during the most peaceful moments of the day. And on the way back, stopping by Hisarönü for a fantastic dinner break is entirely up to you!
2. A Journey Through Time: Kayaköy and Gemiler Bay
With its abandoned stone houses, narrow streets, and mystical atmosphere, Kayaköy, also known as the "Ghost Village," is an absolute must on your list. As you head towards this historical settlement, located just 8 kilometers from the center of Fethiye, a wonderful route passing through pine forests awaits you.
A Quick Tip: Don't turn back immediately after exploring Kayaköy. Steer your car towards Gemiler Bay (St. Nicholas Island), located slightly further down from the village. Driving down to this hidden bay, which is quite difficult to reach by public transport, and reaching the sea by gliding through olive and pine trees is a priceless experience.
3. Curves That Will Fill You with Scenery: Faralya and the Butterfly Valley Observation Deck
If you love adventure and photography, here is the route you will enjoy driving the most. As you leave Ölüdeniz behind and start climbing up the slopes of Babadağ towards Faralya, that famous scenery of Fethiye will literally be laid out beneath your feet.
Although the road is a bit winding, having a reliable and well-maintained rental car under you turns these curves into a delightful journey rather than a torment. You can stop whenever you want at the observation points where you can see that iconic bird's-eye view of Butterfly Valley, take out your camping chair from the trunk, and sip your coffee against the view. You can't do that on a tour bus, right?
4. The Cool Heart of Nature: Saklıkent Gorge and Gizlikent Waterfall
If you want to get away from the summer heat for a bit and cool off in ice-cold waters, our route is clear: Saklıkent Gorge, located about 40-45 km from the center of Fethiye.
Going on this route by public transport can eat up your entire day with transfers and waiting times. However, when you utilize Fethiye car rental services, you can reach the canyon in about 45 minutes via a very comfortable and smooth drive through Seydikemer. Moreover, while you are all the way at Saklıkent, don't forget to add the nearby natural wonder, Gizlikent Waterfall, to your itinerary. The comfort of throwing your wet clothes into the trunk of your car, turning on the AC, and heading back to the hotel is worth everything.
5. A Unique Sunset: Çalış Beach
To shake off the tiredness of the day, have a nice dinner, and watch Fethiye's most famous sunset, steer your route toward Çalış Beach. With its venues lined up along the long coastline, walking paths, and the sun slowly setting behind the islands, Çalış is an indispensable part of the evening hours. The availability of areas where you can comfortably park your car makes this an especially attractive stop during the evening.
Are You Ready to Draw Your Own Route?
Vacationing in Fethiye is about much more than just sunbathing on a specific beach. The most comfortable, safest, and ultimately the most economical way to discover hidden bays, mountain villages, and ancient cities is to rent a car that suits your needs.
If you want to experience your holiday with complete freedom, without being tied to schedules, bus stops, and other people's plans, you can immediately choose the most suitable vehicle for your family and holiday plan through our team at Fethiye Rent a Car. From spacious family vehicles to SUV models that will conquer challenging roads, we are by your side on the roads of Fethiye with our large vehicle fleet.
