Fethiye [36° 37' N 29° 06' E], the ancient Telmessos, is a very pleasant town with a large esplanade. The town is surrounded by Lycian rock tombs carved on the rocks. There is also a medieval castle built by the Knights of Rhodes. In the middle of the town there is a Lycian sarcophagus tomb in the shape of a small house.

The Skopea Liman gulf [36° 35' N 028° 50' E] because of its proximity to the Göcek Marina and Fethiye is very beautiful but also very crowded. There are many coves and anchorages if only one can find some room.

Kizilkuyruk Koyu [36° 37.1' N 28° 52.3' E] is about 1 nM NNW of Ince Burun between Ekinçik Liman and Fethiye. It is a lovely cove but very crowded. In 1997 a small restaurant was continuously blasting the cove with disco music. Anchor at 8-12 m and take a line to the shore.
Ölu Deniz
Ölu Deniz is a completely land locked beautiful lagoon. It is overrun by tourists. Anchoring is prohibited.
Offshore Islands
Tersane Adasi
This is a private island. Not sure if anchoring is allowed.
Baba Adasi
A small anchorage 10 nM W of Fethyie and few miles E of Ekinçik Liman. Anchor at the S side of the island at 5-8 m with a shore line. Pleasant and isolated but only for good weather.

Tourism & things to do ashore

The Museum is well worth a visit, they have a very exciting stele from the Letoön with an inscription shown in three languages: Greek, Aramaic, and Lycian. They also have a nice ethnographic section. It closes at 17:00.
From Fethiye one can take a number of inland excursions to places such as Ölu Deniz, Xanthos, and Patara. All of these places can also be visited from Kaş.
Kizilkuyruk Koyu
About a 30 minute walk up the hill is Lydae an archaeological site. The site, two Roman mausolea and some Byzantine foundations, is not very interesting but its setting is exquisite. There are several mud-brick domes which may be Moslem tombs but I am not so sure because goats have been using them for shelter.
