Paragliders launch from the top of Babadag mountain, 1,969 metres above sea level, and spend the better part of half an hour drifting down toward the turquoise water at Oludeniz below, a combination that has made Fethiye one of the more distinctive adventure-tourism spots in the eastern Mediterranean. Oludeniz itself, a sheltered lagoon separated from the open sea by a narrow sandbar, ranks among the most photographed beaches in Turkey, calm enough for swimming even when the wider coast is choppy.
The town of Fethiye sits on the site of ancient Telmessos, and the clearest surviving evidence of that history is a cliff face of Lycian rock tombs cut directly overlooking the modern harbour, the largest and best known being the Tomb of Amyntas from the 4th century BC, styled after a temple facade. Inland, Saklikent Gorge cuts a narrow, cold-water canyon through the mountains, a popular half-day extension for coach groups after a morning at the beach.

At 1,969 metres, Babadag mountain hosts one of the world's more scenic tandem paragliding launches, with flights typically running around half an hour as pilots drift down toward the lagoon below, drawing adventure travellers alongside the resort's conventional beach visitors.

As a rough guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) in Fethiye runs around 5,000 to 8,000 TRY per day, a midi-coach (around 29 seats) around 8,000 to 13,000 TRY per day, and a full-size coach (49 seats) around 11,900 to 19,300 TRY per day. Fethiye's pricing runs high through the summer resort season, with Oludeniz beach transfers and Babadag paragliding traffic both driving demand June through September.
