If you prefer, we also provide direct transfer services to your hotel or villa in Fethiye.

Fethiye's World-Famous Holiday Destinations Once you have your car, the entire Fethiye peninsula is yours to explore. Travelers from all over the world come here to experience our magnificent bays, ancient ruins, and lush mountains. Some of the must-see routes include:

• Ölüdeniz (The Blue Lagoon): World-renowned for its crystal-clear waters and paragliding from Babadağ Mountain.

• Çalış Beach: Famous for its spectacular sunsets and cool evening breeze.

• Kayaköy (The Ghost Town): A fascinating historical village with abandoned stone houses.

• Göcek: The ultimate destination for luxury marinas and island boat tours.

• Faralya & Butterfly Valley: Breathtaking cliffs and untouched nature trails.

• Saklıkent Gorge, Hisarönü, and Ovacık.

Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Trip To truly experience the hidden bays and ancient history of Fethiye, renting a car is a must. Whether you are traveling solo or with a large group, we offer a diverse fleet to suit your needs. You can choose to rent a spacious family car for coastal drives, a rugged jeep to navigate the mountain roads up to Faralya, a comfortable minibus for large groups, or an economic private car for city exploring.

Driving Rules and Safety in Turkey We want your road trip to be as safe as it is memorable. Please keep the following road safety information in mind:

• Right-Hand Traffic: Unlike the UK, traffic in Turkey flows on the right side of the road.

• Police & Gendarmerie Checks: Especially during the busy summer season in tourist hotspots like Ölüdeniz and Hisarönü, traffic police conduct regular, random checks. They are there for your safety! Do not worry—all our rental cars come with the necessary up-to-date paperwork, which we will walk you through during pick-up.

Mandatory Speed Limits Speed limits vary depending on the type of vehicle you are driving and the road you are on. Always keep an eye out for roadside traffic signs, but here are the general national limits:

• Urban Areas / City Centers (Like Fethiye Centrum): 50 km/h for all vehicle types.

• Automobiles (Standard Cars): 90 km/h on two-way roads, 110 km/h on divided highways, and 120 km/h on motorways.

• Minibuses: 80 km/h on two-way roads, 90 km/h on divided highways, and 100 km/h on motorways.

• Jeeps: Generally limited to 70 km/h on standard roads.

• Light Commercial (e.g., Fiat Doblo): 85 km/h on standard roads.

Note: Radar speed controls are strictly enforced on the roads leading into Fethiye, so please adhere to these limits to avoid fines.

Road Conditions and Amenities The geography of the Fethiye region is beautifully mountainous. Roads leading down to Ölüdeniz or winding up towards Faralya feature many ups and downs, as well as sharp hairpin turns. We advise paying close attention to the road, reading the traffic signs carefully, and avoiding excessive speeds on coastal cliffs.

Throughout your journey, you will find plenty of modern fuel stations. These are great spots not only to refuel your rental car but also to take a break, use the restrooms, and grab some food or drinks.

Fethiye is extremely well-equipped with 24/7 private clinics, state-of-the-art private hospitals, and a fully functional state hospital ready to handle any health concerns. Furthermore, local police and gendarmerie forces constantly patrol the region to ensure top-level public security.
