Fethiye

Fethiye is where Dodo is based, so it is the simplest place to start a charter: no delivery fee, and the crew knows every cove within a day's sail. The town has a fish market where you choose your dinner and restaurants cook it beside the stalls.

West lie the Göcek islands; south, the open coast towards Ölüdeniz, where paragliders drift down from Babadağ, and Butterfly Valley, a gorge you can only reach by sea. Gemiler Island's Byzantine ruins are best explored at sunrise, before the day boats arrive.
