HOW MANY BEACHES DO YOU KNOW IN FETHIYE?
if you're a beach lover and you're coming to the Fethiye region of Turkey on a holiday you might want to know where the best beaches are ? everybody has a different idea of their favorite Beach so in this video we're going to show you all the beaches in the Fethiye area and you can choose which is your favourite and make a comment that might help others that are looking for the ideal Beach, especially if you've been to any of them before so let's have a look at the first beat so the most well-known beach has got to be Çalış Beach so this is Çalış Beach it's a shingle and fine sand beach and it's one of the most popular beaches because it's quite close to Fethiye in fact there's a cycle track that comes all the way up to Çalış from Fethiye and you'll also get a boat taxi up to here as well from Fethiye so it's an ideal place for sunbathing unfortunately this beach hasn't had great press recently because of the rubbish that's been left on the beach and a lot of that is to do with smokers who are leaving their waste pushed into the sand and not using the dust bins provided maybe they should ban smoking on all beaches that would be better for the environment altogether it's got pretty good facilities and of and of course it's lined with lovely bars and restaurants and probably the best place in Fethiye to watch the sunset to the west of Fethiye is a forest covered Peninsula with several coves and well-known beaches so this is Aksazlar and this is probably the closest beach to town Fethiye it's a Sandy Beach but the sand has been brought in it looks a bit more like salt actually and although it's nice and gradual to go in swimming it is a bit sort of murky the water here but what a lovely place and it's not that expensive to come in and use the beds they've got a nice bar nice restaurant area and also they do camping here and there's also a picnic place as well and I don't think many people know about the camping here because there's no one here to be honest it's probably the best campsite near Fethiye if you travel around the peninsula after the Latoon hotel which of course has its own private Beach and Beach area there is this little Cove which unfortunately seems to have been used as a dumping ground there's a lot of boats started Mooring here as well but it is a free place where you could swim So the next beach around the peninsula is this one and this Kuçuksamanlı beach its privately rented off the government but it's got quite good facilities they've got a nice little bar and you can even sit and smoke a nagili if you want here they have traditional platforms here what they call the Köşk in turkey and obviously there's an extra charge for them and there's a charge for the sun beds A bit further around the peninsula is a very special Beach so this is Büyüksananlı beach now this beach isn't quite finished at the moment but because they're doing it up and this is one of the only beaches in the area that's got a Mavi bayrak blue flag it's a clean Beach it's rented by the ministry of Tourism and usually it's not open to the public because children come down here from that are at the tourism school but when the school's finished they open it up for the public this is all going to go on the beach this beautiful white sand which is actually come from Mersin and in the summer there won't be alcohol on this beach unless you bring your own and if you rent a koşk you can eat and drink whatever you want from your köşk of course no bar here but there will be a really lovely Cafe which they're constructing at the moment so by the time this film goes out they'll probably have finished there so I'm excited because I'm definitely going to come back down to this beach a bit further around the peninsula to the West is a Muslim concept Beach so this is Zehra Kuleli this beach is very special because they separate out the ladies the families and the men there's no alcohol on this beach at all next about a mile away is the very popular Seame Beach it really is a lovely place the it's not a Sandy Beach it's a sort of a fine Stone but they've got entertainment on here they've got a bar it's really something special and to be honest think I'm gonna come here myself thank you in the next Bay South of Seame Beach is another very popular Beach these beaches are usually accessed via the shorter scenic route from Fethiye turning left just after the Marina Boutique Hotel that owns this place or rents this place used to be in ÖlüDenis and they used to be a very popular bar then and it's still a popular place as a beach this beach is very fine sand I think it's been brought in this is a really well organized beach with a bar and a lovely restaurant area it's very busy in the mid-summer with young people who like the loud music the easiest way to get here is just to jump in a taxi the last Beach accessible to the west of Fethiye is the private beach at the exclusive Hillside Beach Club this is another blue flag Beach unfortunately you can only access it if you're staying at the hotel now let's look at the beaches to the south of Fethiye about a 20-minute drive away with a regular bus service from Fethiye is one of the most popular beaches in Turkey so this is Ölüdeniz public beach which is famous of course for its paragliding and this is where they land when they take off from the mountain at babadağ which is about six thousand feet high and it's nice to just sit at a bar and watch them all flying in the public beach has got great facilities bars restaurants all the way along it and of course accommodation so it's very popular The Prices right on the beach bars are a little bit more expensive than you'd pay in the normal Resorts usually between four and five pounds for a beer but Ölüdeniz which means dead sea in Turkish is actually referring to the Lagoon which is the other beach at the end of the public beach and you do have to pay to go in there because it's a national park the public beach is fine sand and Shale but the Lagoon beach is Pebbles but at the back of the Lagoon there's several other fine sandy beaches all these beaches are accessed via the back road of the Lagoon most of the beaches at the back of the Lagoon are owned by hotels but some are free access so long as you use their facilities you have to come through Kaya village to get to this one about 45 minutes through winding roads Gemiler Beach which is actually opposite Saint Nicholas Island you can camp here you can put a tent up here but there they do charge an entry fee which is 75 Lira at the moment for a car for a whole day but there is some facilities here there's a nice little restaurant the beach is quite secluded although there are lots of boats pulling in here all day long it's a nice place to hire canoes and Peddlers and there are boats from the beach here to Saint Nicholas Island not forgetting that Caravans and camping is allowed here and it's not expensive between Gemiler and Ölüdeniz there is one more Beach which is accessible with a vehicle from Kaya Village although it's not an asphalt road and it's known as Cold Water Bay thank you this is a beautiful beach with a small restaurant which is high up overlooking the whole Bay the water is crystal clear and the Ambiance is lovely only spoiled occasionally when the dragon boats happened to call in from early Denise it's known as Cold Water Bay and this actually includes Camel Beach which is only accessible by boat heading south again and passing through Ölüdeniz on the coast Road you come to another large Sandy Beach this is Kudrak Beach and there's a small entry charge to this beach and the sun beds and Köşk platforms are not cheap but it is a beach with good facilities and a lovely shaded restaurant which also serves alcohol the beach is fine sand but it's Pebbles right on the shoreline which means it's a little difficult to get into the water this beach is a national park it closes at 7 pm there's night security and no camping allowed, down just a couple of hundred meters away from kudrak Beach is the huge all-inclusive adults-only Liberty likya Hotel which has its own private beaches these are only accessible to the hotel guests or if you buy a day pass which is quite expensive the next Beach is only a mile further around the coast is one of the most beautiful in the area but it's only accessible via boat from Ölüdeniz please butterfly Valley or Kelebek vadesi as they say in Turkish is a stunningly beautiful beach you can rent a beach hut and a tent on this beach or take your own and there are lots of boat trips some very noisy visiting here every day in the middle of the summer but if you don't want a full day boat trip and you just want to visit or stay on this beach there's a regular taxi Boat Service it goes about every hour it's not quite as smooth as the big boat you can rent a beach hut and a tent on this beach or take your own if you're thinking of coming over here to stay the facilities are not exactly Grand and there's a small camping fee if you bring your own tent but there is a bar at one end of the beach and there's some facilities at the other end of the beach as well and be aware that the beach might not be as quiet as you were expecting you there's a lot of people here the walk you see the butterflies is actually quite a long way especially in the middle of the day in this heat so make sure you take some water with you the last Beach that we're going to look at to the south of Fethiye is Kabak Beach which is accessible from Ölüdeniz passing past kudrak Beach through feralya which is I above butterfly Valley eventually reaching a point high above Kabak Beach then it's a steep track road down to the beach if you're able the walk down to the beach is actually very scenic this is another beautiful beach but unlike butterfly Valley there is plenty of accommodation here from beach bungalows to nice hotels and there's a nice large rustic restaurant and bar on the beach which also serves alcohol thank you in the middle of the summer there is sometimes a service bus to and from the beach so now we're gonna head back to the north of Fethiye. just north of Çalış beach the continuation of it comes into koca Çalış so this is the beach at Koca Çalış which is an extension of Çalış Beach actually but it's very pebbly up this end of the beach and there are several bars and restaurants I'm outside Zentara at the moment which has got sunbeds and a lovely restaurant inside but there's also the Surf Center here and as you probably realized it's very windy here it's a great place for surfing and the surf Center is a great place for learning to surf as well as hiring stuff out if you just want to go surfing yourself heading Northwest from Koca Çalış on a back road you arrive at a small Bay which is next to a much larger public beach so this is Karataş Plajı or Karataş beach now this beach is unusual it's rented out but there is one part of it one side of it that you don't have to have a sunbed if you don't want one and you can just you're just free to come on but it is a very lovely walk into the sea here it is sand and Shale but walking in it's fairly Sandy and quite quite easy it's nice for kids as well they do play music here at the little restaurant but you can ask them to change the music and turn it down a bit and turtles do lay their eggs on this beach just 200 meters away over the small bridge is the other part of Karataş Beach so this is another part of Karataş Beach and actually this is the long part of Karataş Beach but it's Stony and the Fabe hotel has rented part of this beach and they've put sand on it and made it a bit of more of a luxury Beach and this part is still public but there's some construction work going on on a new hotel over here and when that construction is finished um apparently they're gonna rent this part of the beach as well so it will be part of the hotel unfortunately because this was one of our favorite spots and the restaurant at the back was one of our favorite restaurants too progress further up the coast is another hotel beach but the best way to access it is to go back onto the Dalaman Road and turn at Yanıklar this is Tuana hotel and the only way you can access this is if you stay at the hotel or pay the daily fee because it's an all-inclusive hotel over a small Bridge from this hotel is a huge public beach a bar and a restaurant so this is Karaot public beach and this is right next door to the Tuana Hotel unless you come across the little Bridge Walk Bridge from Tuana the only other way to get here is by car it's a really nice drive for a car although it is quite a long way if you're coming from Fethiye it's the same turn off for the Tuana hotel but you stay on the right side of the river oh the beach is probably about five miles out of Fethiye and apart from the restaurant there are good facilities here too and right at the other end of the beach is a reasonable area for Caravans and camping bear in mind that at weekends and the middle of the summer or any Byram periods this area is packed with Caravans the last two beaches are even further away from Fethiye on the Dalaman Road to get to the first one after passing Yanıklar you go up the hill and on the brow of the Hill there's a left turn to katrancı this is Katrancı Beach years ago me and Trudie camped here with the kids 20 years ago there was nothing much here apart from trees and grass and I think there was one tea shop but now there's a lovely restaurant and many of the people seem to be staying here all year round they've even got fridges and freezers outside their tents and Caravans and there's also cabins that you can stay in as with many of the forestry controlled Beaches they are sub-rented out to the bars and restaurants so they do sometimes serve alcohol and this one's no exception so Katrancı Beach you can get a beer here and a restaurant meal if you want it's a fine Sandy Beach and it's great for the kids very safe there is obviously an entry fee because it's forestry controlled but the bars and restaurants are private so if you want sunbeds and stuff like that you you have to pay extra and there's some good facilities here and for the final Beach going past Yanıklar up the hill and past the turn off for katrandia is a left turn to Günlüklü beach it's sometimes called küçük Kargı and it's also called Ömer Eşen Nature Park it's about 12 miles out of Fethiye so this is a lovely Beach this is Günlüklü Beach which is on the way to Göcek and it's forestry controlled so there's an entry fee it's not that easy to get to unless you've got a vehicle you could of course cycle if you're a good cyclist and they actually a bar and restaurant here and surprisingly they serve alcohol and the beer is 150 lira which is a little more than usual but that's what you pay for a beautiful beach it's a very fine sand which I think has been partly brought in it is a nice gradual walking to the sea and they're also extending the beach so they're putting fine sand on the other part of the beach and making it bigger there's also a lot more facilities on the other end of the beach which were being renovated when I was there in June there are of course other bays and coves around the Fethiye region many of them you can only reach by boat and some are quite dangerous to climb down to a bit further away about an hour's Drive of course is Patara one of the best beaches in Turkey so that's it from the lovely beaches here in
