Top Fethiye Archaeology Tours

Enjoy two beautiful but very different UNESCO World Heritage sites in one easy trip—the natural wonder of the snow-like limestone terraces of Pamukkale, and the ancient ruins of the city of Hierapolis. This is an easy way to visit the must-see attractions in a single day, without having to worry about making your own arrangements. Travelers interested in nature, culture, and history will all enjoy this tour.

Pamukkale meaning 'cotton castle' is a marvelous natural wonder, a must-see attraction in Turkey. Join a one-day guided tour from Fethiye to see the stunning white travertines, to swim in the hot springs and discover the ruins of an ancient city Hierapolis.

Ephesus is a must for history and archaeology enthusiasts, but trailing after a large group to hit a checklist of sights doesn’t suit every traveler—especially with limited time. Get a chance to customize your experience on this full-day bespoke private tour, whether you’re on an off-shore excursion from Kusadasi, traveling from Selcuk or Bodrum, or even coming all the way from Istanbul (with round-trip flight tickets to Izmir included).

From Fethiye, visit Saklikent Gorge and the ancient ruins of Tlos on a shared day trip that pairs outdoor activity with Lycian history. Walk into the canyon as far as you dare, or watch from riverside platforms, and bring swimwear for the water. Lunch at a trout-farm restaurant in Yaka Village sits among trees and flowing water before a guided visit to Tlos, including its acropolis, theater, stadium, and necropolis.

Ephesus shouldn’t be missed when in Turkey, but large group tours with rigid schedules can be tough for travelers with limited time to join. On this private full-day tour, create your own bespoke sightseeing plan, whether you’re departing from the cruise port in Kusadasi, a Bodrum hotel, or even coming from Istanbul (with round-trip flight tickets to Izmir included). Lunch and guiding are included for a seamless day out.

Travel from Istanbul to Şanlıurfa for two unforgettable days. Visit Göbeklitepe, one of the world’s most important archaeological discoveries, and Karahantepe, a major nearby site from the same “Taş Tepeler” region. In the city, explore the main museum highlights and the historic center to understand the story behind the stones.

Join the gliders circling the skies above Ölüdeniz when you book this private paragliding adventure. Drive through the forested slopes of Mt. Babadağ to the launch site.

Upgrade to include photos and video, shot by 360-degree action camera.

Discover one of the gems of the Mediterranean as you set sail from Fethiye on a full day tour around Olüdeniz.

Explore the peaceful Mediterranean isles on this 12-island boat trip from Fethiye Bay.

Get a whole new perspective on Oludeniz—and some incredible photos—by booking this tandem paragliding experience.
