Fethiye is home to several remarkable ancient sites. The most conspicuous are the Lycia rock tombs dating from the 4th century BC and carved in the hillside above the town. The Fethiye Museum is also highly regarded for its collections of ancient artefacts.Beside the Fethiye Harbour is the Roman amphitheatre and the crumbling remains of a medieval castle built by the Knights of St John. Gulets (sturdy wooden yachts) can be hired in Fethiye's harbour for day trips around these coastal waters.The beach resort of Oludeniz is just 25 minutes away by dolmus (local minibuses) and offers numerous activities, including parasailing, pedal boats, banana boating, diving, snorkelling, water-skiing, and most famously paragliding. Butterfly Valley and Kabak are nearby canyons that both feature good hiking and waterfalls.
