Day 2: visit Fethiye’s bustling market then walk through the fields across the promontory and take a boat to explore beautiful Gemiler Island. Day 3: admire the magnificent white beach and the ancient ruined city of Patara, reached via peaceful pine forests and the historic Roman aqueduct. Day 4: walk along the Lycian Way, noted as one of the top ten walks in the world by the Sunday Times, with Baba Dag˘ (Father Mountain) providing a stunning backdrop. Day 5: free day - sail across Fethiye’s stunning Bay of Twelve islands and enjoy an alfresco lunch or simply relax by Ölü Deniz’s turquoise lagoon or one of the hotel’s swimming pools. Day 6: follow the old trading paths to the deserted Greek village of Kayaköy, the inspiration for Louis de Bernieres’ Birds Without Wings, then descend down pine clad slopes to Ölü Deniz’s lagoon. Day 7: enjoy a day of outstanding coastal views and traditional villages as we follow the Lycian Way from Faralaya to Kabak and return by boat via Butterfly Valley sea conditions permitting. Day 8: departure day
