Fethiye lies on a semicircular bay protected by a ring of twelve islands. There aren' t any beaches actualiy within Fethiye itself yet it is an excellent base for organised scuba diving. Boats leave the seafront each day bound for the bracelet of islands and dolmuses (minibuses for public transportation) provide a cheap ferrying service for dedicated sun-worshippers.
