Since Fethiye includes Göcek, it is one of the important cities in Turkey regarding yacht and sailing tourism. Göcek is a beautiful place to rent a boat or yacht and start your journey. You can go on a blue voyage by renting a boat or luxury yacht in wonderful bays.Ölüdeniz (Dead Sea) in Fethiye is one of the most popular coastlines in Turkey. You can enjoy the sea, sun, nature, and history in full there.
Since Fethiye is in a climate band that is a mixture of Mediterranean and Aegean climates, it is hot and dry in summer and warm and rainy in winter, but its humidity is very low, compared to Antalya. You can see people swimming in winter in Fethiye, just like in Antalya.Its gulf, bays, valleys, and nature offer a unique yacht trip, and Fethiye has important historical cities that are worth a visit. Fethiye’s centrum generally has two-story, wooden-Baghdadi system-based Turkish houses and Roman houses made from cut stones.
Fethiye is a wonderful vacation spot for nature sports, apart from its natural beauty, sea, history, beaches and boats, yacht vacations, and hotels. The most popular among nature sports are paragliding starting from Babadağ’s summit and ending in Ölüdeniz, hiking, sailing sports, biking, rowing, and motorcycling.
How to go to Fethiye:
Dalaman airport, just 40km away from Fethiye, provides a great advantage in transportation. You can go to Fethiye from Istanbul at the same time as’s needed to go from one district of Istanbul to another: in 1 hour 50 minutes. You can use a taxi or Fethiye shuttle from Dalaman airport. Moreover, there are minibus lines from Dalaman’s centrum.
Wind and Sea in Fethiye:
Zephyr winds from the north and north-west generally start in the afternoon and go on until sundown in Fethiye and Göcek. In August and September the wind speed generally stays between 11 and 27 knots, and rarely ever reaches 30 knots. Southerly winds may be harsher in the Fethiye Gulf, but they are generally encountered outside summer.
Our recommendation is to enjoy the early hours when the weather is calm and windless, by having breakfast, swimming, diving, or sunbathing on the deck; raising the anchor at noon, and getting ready for the afternoon zephyr to fill our sails.
