day 1Join trip in Fethiye

Our trip starts today in Fethiye, a thriving coastal town that's home to remains of the ancient Lycian city of Telmessos. There are no other activities planned today, so you're free to arrive at any time. If you'd like an airport transfer, you'll need to arrive into Dalaman Airport (DLM) which is a one-hour drive away. For those arriving in time, our tour leader will meet you in the hotel reception at 7pm for the initial tour briefing. Afterwards, there'll be the option to have dinner at a nearby restaurant. Should you miss the welcome meeting, our tour leader will inform you of any essential information as soon as you catch up. The main trip briefing will normally take place on the morning of day 2 due to some late flight arrivals. If your flight arrives earlier in the day, there'll be the opportunity to take a walk to the Fethiye Archaeological Museum before continuing up to the Amyntas Tomb, cut into the cliffs behind the town. There's an impressive Greco-Roman theatre to be discovered too. In the old centre, known as Paspatur, there's a traditional Turkish Bath that would make a great start to the holiday, too.
