Boarding starts at 15.30 from Fethiye Harbour. Whilst you settle in,
dinner will be served on the yacht and we will stay overnight on

western border with Caria. It is believed that the city's name came
from Apollon's son Telmessos. The city joined the Ottoman Empire in
1924. The name changed many times over the years and was eventually
named Fethiye in 1914 after the first Turkish Air Force Officer who
was called Fethi Bey, crashed his plane and died here whilst on
duty. In the south of the town you will see many famous tombs and
