Turkey’s Turquoise Coast features some of the most beautiful and spectacular coastal scenery in the world, and this includes Fethiye. When you add the city’s ancient history into the mix you can see why a holiday in Fethiye is so popular. But despite being a popular tourist destination Fethiye has managed to keep its Turkish charm and doesn’t feel as tourist oriented as some of the region’s other towns, yet it still has plenty of hotels and other places to stay – it’s this unique balance that keeps visitors coming back year after year for a holiday in Fethiye.

 

Fethiye has over 100 hotels to choose from so you’ll never be short of choice when holidaying here. There are hotels in Fethiye to suit all budgets and tastes, and they are scattered across the city – from the noisier parts to the more secluded and private, depending on what it is you prefer.

 

Like most towns in Turkey Fethiye also has the more traditional form of lodging. Quaint, usually family-run pensions can be found in many corners of the town and many of these will offer bed and breakfast service. Pensions are an excellent choice if you want to experience a more traditional form of Turkish hospitality. Here the very welcoming hosts make up for the fact that there are fewer facilities to make use of.

 

Of course there are also ample self catering apartments in Fethiye too. Ideal for holidaymakers who don’t want to be tied down to the specific meal times found in hotels, self catering apartments in Fethiye are a popular alternative.

 

Being a larger town Fethiye’s hotels and apartments can be found in numerous streets; they’re not just limited to one part of the city. This gives you the opportunity to stay exactly where you want to.

 

Those seeking livelier nights, and who don’t mind some noise disturbance can stay in a hotel on Fethiye’s central waterfront. This puts you in the middle of shops and bars so it’s a great place to stay if you like it lively. To the west of here is the marina where you’ll find a few nice hotels and pensions. Many of these have beautiful bay views but it’s a longer walk to the main shopping and restaurants.

 

Fethiye itself isn’t really a beach holiday destination though hotels with views over the marina and the bay are very popular. If you’re looking for hotels perched on beaches you may be better considering nearby Calis Beach, just a couple of miles away. You could also consider the top rated hotel in Fethiye, Hillside Beach Club. Situated on the other side of the peninsula that juts out from Fethiye Marina, this 5 star resort style hotel has a spectacular ‘Blue Flag’ beachside setting within a private little bay.
