Fethiye, Turkey

Fethiye, Turkey

This port provides an abundance of surprises: Fethiye, where sarcophagi are scattered around town, and hauntingly floodlit at night; the Roman city of Caunos, an ancient port today located several kilometers inland; the ghost town of Kayakoy, a once thriving Greek village continually inhabited since the 13th century, completely de-populated in 1923 when Turkey’s Greeks were repatriated; and the dramatic pre-Roman Lycian tombs hewn into rock faces at Dalyan. From there a channel runs through wetlands rich with birdlife to the sea, and a beach where endangered loggerhead turtles lay their eggs.
