Fethiye

Fethiye, Turkey – 2010. We spent two nights in Fethiye which allowed us to visit a few of the Lycian tombs that are on the hills within the city (all on foot and the walking seemed to be uphill most of the time) and take a day long open jeep tour which included a quick drive past Tlos, a rug craft co-op, canyon walk, mud bath and a beach – a tour I would not recommend.
