Boat trips from here

Fethiye & Ölüdeniz — Day boats leave Fethiye harbour for the islands of the gulf, and the beach at Ölüdeniz for the coves to the south — Butterfly Valley, Gemiler Island and the bays below Kabak.

Bay pages: Gemiler Island (St Nicholas Island) · Kızılada (lighthouse island, Gulf of Fethiye)

Göcek — A sheltered gulf of islands and pine-backed bays west of Fethiye, with the most detailed boat rules on the coast: day boats only in listed bays and only from 10:00 to 20:00.

Bay pages: Yassıca Islands · Hamam Bay ("Cleopatra's Baths")
