A nice place for an evening stroll is along the Fethiye harbour front, there's plenty to see and some good restaurants (Turkish and International Cuisine) overlooking the bay where you can sip a cool drink and watch the sun go down. As this is the area that the Fethiye tourist boats are moored, why not book a day trip, these are excellent value, many going around the islands just outside the bay, with stops for swimming and a bbq or buffet lunch included in the price.
A few minutes walk from the harbour you will find the new Ece Marina, recently built it is home to many visiting luxury yachts from around the world cruising Turkeys Turquoise Coast. There is also the Ece Marina hotel offering five star accommodation in a beautiful setting over looking the bay.
A short stroll from the Marina brings you to quiet mainly residential area of Fethiye, with a few small family run hotels and pensions a Turkish bath and diving school. This area is also home to the Fethiye boat yards, where Gulets are constructed using traditional boat building methods and materials such as pine, which have been used for hundreds of years by boat builders in Turkey.
