Fethiye holidays:
Situated on the side of Mount Mendos, which is part of the Taurus mountain chain, Fethyie is a charming little village along the coast of the Fethiye Bay. Beautiful beyond description, Fethiye was built on the site of the ancient Telmessos, with ruins still visible in the city and available for tours. Because of its wetter climate, Fethiye is surrounded by lush forests hosting a huge variety of trees including Silver and Scotch fir, Norway spruce, Olive, Laurel, Myrtle, Acacia and Plane trees. Also in the forests surrounding Fethiye is one of the rarest plants in the world, the Frankincense Tree, which is the source of myrrh, used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. So rare is this species of the Frankincense tree it is only cultivated in Fethiye, Koycegiz and California.
