Holidays in Fethiye with Own Transport

The drive from Sofia to Fethiye is the longest along the Turkish coast, taking approximately 14-16 hours without long breaks. It is mandatory to plan an overnight stop for a safe and comfortable journey.

The route follows the path to Marmaris until Muğla. After Muğla, you continue east on the D400 road, following signs for Köyceğiz and Dalaman until you reach Fethiye. The route includes the paid Göcek tunnel.

The necessary set of documents is standard: a valid international passport/national ID, your driver's license, the vehicle's registration certificate (in the driver's name), and a valid 'Green Card' insurance policy for Turkey.

Ölüdeniz is reached by a scenic road descending from the hills of Ovacık. Parking right next to the beach is very limited and paid. a good tip is to park in Ovacık or Hisarönü and take a dolmuş (local minibus) down to the beach, which takes just a few minutes.

Having your own car gives you access to unique places! You must visit the abandoned 'ghost town' of Kayaköy, cool off in the Saklıkent Canyon, see the Lycian Rock Tombs above Fethiye, and enjoy the sunset at Çalış Beach.
