In the middle of summer, in August, Fethiye brings you together with nature, history and adrenaline-filled moments. This special route, where you can have a pleasant time even in hot weather, is ideal for making your vacation unforgettable. Here are the 5 best activities to do in Fethiye in August:

 

1. See Oludeniz from above with paragliding

 

One of the first experiences that comes to mind when Fethiye is mentioned is undoubtedly paragliding. Soaring from the 1965-meter high Babadağ, watching the deep blue waters of Ölüdeniz from above is a unique feeling. Early morning or sunset flights are the best times for both coolness and scenery.

 

2. Discover the Underwater World with Diving

 

August is one of the clearest periods of the year. Diving spots in the Gulf of Fethiye await you with wrecks, caves and rich underwater life. There are many diving schools in the area, especially ideal for first time divers.

 

3. Shady Walks on the Lycian Way

 

Cool forest paths and walks with sea views are perfect for those who are tired of the heat. The short routes of the Lycian Way in the early morning are a great opportunity for both physical activity and connecting with nature. Faralya, Kabak and Alınca are among the most ideal hiking areas for summer.

 

4. Journey to Cool Bays with Boat Tours

 

Fethiye is surrounded by many hidden bays that are difficult to reach by narrow roads but easily accessible by boat. The pleasure of getting away from the August heat and swimming in turquoise waters with daily or privately rented boats is completely different. Butterfly Valley, Aquarium Bay and Tersane Island are not to be missed.

 

5. Touch History in Ancient Cities

 

Fethiye is home to many archaeological heritages bearing the traces of the ancient Lycian civilization. If you visit ancient cities such as Tlos, Letoon, Xanthos and Kadyanda in the morning or near sunset, you will feel the history and escape the heat.

August is one of the most lively and active times of vacationing in Fethiye. Despite the hot weather, moments of nature, cool waters, historical traces and the sky await you. Be sure to add these five activities to your list when planning your vacation!
