Oludeniz

Before we get into the delightful specifics of the Blue Cruise excursion, which runs from Fethiye to Olympos, let’s have a look at some crucial facts about these places.

Olympos Turkey
Olympos Beach

It is, without a doubt, one of the first places for young Turkish visitors looking to cut links with their homeland. With its hippy ambiance, tree house lodgings, and beaches amid ancient ruins, this boho Antalya junction may give you a taste of the eternal flame of youth (on top of the eternal flame of the Chimera). It’s a bohemian haven with treehouse bungalows and Lycian ruins set against the natural background of Antalya’s Mediterranean coast.

Fethiye Turkey

Telmessos, a confederation of independent city-states in ancient Lycia, was formerly Fethiye. The Lycians were known for their peculiar burial practices, and they left behind 2,500-year-old sarcophagi in Fethiye’s streets, as well as stunning rock tombs outside the city. Fethiye is today a major tourist attraction, serving as a gateway to the secluded ruins of ancient Lycian cities, the 18-kilometer Saklkent Canyon, and Lüdeniz’s breathtaking beach and lagoon. The resort, on the other hand, has a lot to offer, from its weekly market to its excellent museum and the cool, shaded streets of its ancient town.
