Yacht Charter in Fethiye, Turkey
Located on the south-western coast of Turkey, looking towards the Mediterranean Sea, Fethiye lies safely in the arms of the Taurus Mountain Range. This settlement was in ancient times known as Telmessos, a rich port that was an important centre of trade in the Mediterranean. Throughout the long history of the city, it served many foreign and domestic masters. Before Alexander the Great began his conquest of Asia Minor from Telmessos, this city was ruled by Lycians who governed a system that some historians like to call the "first democracy" - a system similar to the Greek city-state governorship, with the exception of the states being governed by an elected president. Today, Fethiye is a cosmopolitan centre for nautical tourism, famous for golden beaches, rich history and cultural heritage. The natural bay in which a modern marina is built is an ideal location to charter a yacht and start exploring the surrounding islands.
