Arrival – Dalaman Airport to Fethiye

Type  Transfer Day                        Accommodation             Hotel, Fethiye

Drive ~75 km, approx. 75 min        Meals             Dinner in Fethiye

The journey begins before you have even collected your bag. Coming in to land at Dalaman you get your first hit of the colour this coast is famous for — that particular shade of blue-green that photographs can never quite nail. A private transfer winds you through pine-forested hillsides and the first patches of ancient Mediterranean scrubland before delivering you to Fethiye, a working harbour town that has been a gateway to this coast for several thousand years.

Konaklama: Hotel or boutique pension, Fethiye or oludeniz
