Fethiye is a port city, and district, on Turkey's southwestern Turquoise Coast. It's known for its natural harbor, blue waters and numerous rock tombs including the 4th-century B.C. Tomb of Amyntas, carved into a bluff overlooking the city. Near-shore islands are popular for day trips by boat. In the south, the beach at Ölüdeniz is sheltered by a lagoon, and Butterfly Valley is a designated nature reserve.

Sandwiched between the dramatic ridges of Mount Babadag, Butterfly Valley is a perfect spot for trekking, with lush vegetation, awe-inspiring views, stunning sunsets, and of course, an endless variety of butterfly species. To escape the crowds visit in the morning or evening. You can even stay the night—the valley has a free camping site, and there are glamping facilities and a bar on the beach. The hike down to the beach can be challenging for some. Consider visiting as part a boat tour or chartering a boat taxi from Oludeniz. – Tripadvisor
