The Blue Lagoon is located at the famous tourist resort of Oludeniz and protected as one of Turkey national parks.

Fethiye is 135 kms southwest of Marmaris and has an outstanding and busy marina. The ancient name of the city is Telmessos and you will see a fortress on the hill overlooking the city which was built by Knights of Rhodes. Fethiye is known for its rock tombs carved into the faces of the cliffs by the Lycians.

These are elaborately carved and an especially remarkable; one is the tomb of Amnytas dating from the 4th century BC built in Doric architectural style. It is worth well visiting. Other historical places in the city are the Sarcopaghi and the Fethiye Tower.

Beyond the Fethiye fortress following the road climbing up the slope some 7 km, you reach the magnificent lowland of Kaya Koy (village) where Anatolian Greeks lived on the hillside until 1922. Greeks called the town Levissi. During the 1922 exchange of Turks in Thrace with Anatolian Greeks, Kaya Koy was evacuated and the new residents did not occupy the existing houses.

Kaya, now abandoned, become a Ghost Town, although the fertile valley is still inhabited and farmed today. 2 churches, chapels, numerous houses, schools, library, hospital, workshops remain to be explored. A renovation project has been proposed by The Association of Turkish Travel Agencies and The Chamber Of Turkish Architects and is a possibility in the near future. The valley also hosts many small BBQ and borek restaurants very popular with locals
