45. 3 MUST SEE attractions in Fethiye | Lycian tombs | Ghost town of Kayakoy | Fethiye Markets

@SailingKawai This week we leave the bustling Gocek and sail to Fethiye to shelter from some strong winds that are forecast. It's a great decision as we hold well in mud with 36 knots blowing us around the bay for 2 hours.

3 Must see attractions

1. Lycian Rock Tombs - With the weather clearing we head to town to visit and explore the famous Lycian tombs which are carved into the cliffs overlooking Fethiye. The tombs are extremely large and well maintained and a must see when visiting Fethiye.

2. Kayakoy (abandoned town) - We then hike to the abandoned village of Kayakoy, the 9km hike is hilly and much tougher than expected but well worth it. This once bustling town was home to approximately 13000 people including Anatolian Muslims and Greek Orthodox Christians before a population exchange occurred in the 1920's between Greece and Turkey. It's an eerie place due to it's past and the state of the building but well worth a visit.

3. Fethiye Markets - With an empty fridge we set out early to visit the Fethiye markets. These markets are open every Tuesday and are a must if you need food or are looking to do some shopping. We found the fruit and veg to be fresh and much cheaper than Australia and fill our bags. The Turkish pancakes are famous, so we head to the sit down area and are not disappointed.

Fethiye is a great place to explore with so much history. We loved our time and hope you enjoy the video.
