Other Places & Activities -Turkey is your Oyster
Whether it's a gentle horse ride through the pine clad forests to the ghost village of Kaya or Paragliding from the top of the mountain above Olu Deniz beach- just 6,500 feet below- every possible taste is catered for, with all activities being bookable locally and for a small charge for transfers you will not even have to drive.
Tlos, Yakapark & Saklikent Gorge - all well worth a visit, have a go at white water rafting, or wade through the icy cold water to walk the gorge.
Village Tours - To see Turkish rural village life is a real treat, villages are picturesque places where life has changed very little over the centuries and the local people who live there are naturally hospitable to visitors.
Historical Tours - The ruins at Pinara, Letoon and Patara all include such things a theater, numerous rock tombs, public baths and one even has the remains of a brothel.
Overnight trips can be arranged to go to place like Pamukkale to see “Cotton Castle”, Ephesus to see where they found a hidden city.
Tandem Paragliding
You're taken by all terrain vehicle, climbing the 6500ft to the top of the mountain. Here your personal qualified professional instructor will brief you before the two of you launch yourself off the cliff for the ride of your life. As you descend, experiencing turns, wingovers and even thermals, you are treated to one of the most breathtaking sceneries on earth and the most photographed in Turkey - The beautiful natural lagoon known as Olu Deniz.
Jeep Safari
The convoy of jeeps, departs Calis Nr Fethiye at around 9am and heads off into the countryside. You soon leave the main roads behind and pass through villages where the locals await to greet you by spraying you with water (a somewhat refreshing if not unusual way of keeping cool) as local children wave and smile in the hope that you'll throw a few sweets to them as you pass. Climbing higher, you pass the ancient ruins of Tlos, where legend has it, Pegasus once lived. Calling at the trout farm at Yakapak, within a protected national park area, you have the opportunity to have a drink and a snack and see if you can stand the icy cold waters of a pool.
Next stop is Saklikent, the second largest canyon in Europe of truly breathtaking beauty. Here you stop for a very generous and tasty lunch (inc in price) before setting off once again. After a short drive following the river downstream there's a stop to bathe in the mud from the river bed.Carrying on you arrive at Pattara beach, which at 22km long is one of Turkeys longest beaches for some well deserved rest and relaxation to enjoy a cool dip in the Mediterranean before returning to your villa.
12 Islands Boat Trip
Explore islands, swim in peaceful bays and top up your tan as you spend a totally relaxing, sun soaked day cruising around the Fethiye Gulf, with stops including Cleopatra’s Bath, Dockyard Island and Tomb Bay.
"Gullet" Boat Trip

A BBQ lunch is provided (normally pasta, salad, meatballs and fish) and all that's extra are you ice cold drinks on board.
Quad Bike
Don't wear anything too smart as it's going to be dusty travelling off road across tracks, through villages and ending up at the beach for a welcome swim and lunch. Although children under 14 are not permitted to drive, they are welcome to join a suitable adult as pillion so a truly memorable day out, even if your white tee-shirt is only suitable for the bin when you return !
For those of you would like to do less strenuous activities there’s always the shopping trip to Marmaris, or Rhodes via the hydrofoil, you might like the idea of a quiet trek by horse back through the countryside. No riding experience is necessary and hard hats are provided. You might even fancy a Turkish Night enjoy a feast fit for a Sultan whilst be entertained by folk dancers and a belly dancer, this fun night can be enjoyed by all the family.
Turkish Bath - For a total relaxation experience a Turkish bath is a must! Enjoy a wash and brush up in traditional style at the Hamam, where your skin will be scrubbed until it sparkles, and the stresses and strains of everyday life will be massaged away from your tired joints and muscles.
