Local Markets are held twice weekly within Fethiye town, where the farming communities offer up their fruit, vegetables and other commodities. The ‘Tuesday Market’, being one of the largest in Europe, in no way replicates the usual ‘tourist type’ bazaar, generally associated with other European holiday venues. The Fethiye markets are genuine ‘points of sale’ for the local rural neighborhood and is worthy of many a visit
Restaurants are in abundance offering traditional and western fare, boutiques, shops, banks and bars supplement the old central shopping area and town centre
The Fisherman of Fethiye offer their produce within their centrally located ‘fish market’, which also serves as a ready made restaurant – choose your fresh fish and it is served on the platter within minutes
History is combined with the modern lifestyle - traditional Turkish bazaars mix with modern supermarkets – motor boats combine with traditional sailing ships – the Amphitheatre sits alongside a modern cultural centre
Turkish People
Complimenting the infrastructure of this long established town are the Turkish residents themselves, of whom politeness and courtesy is a joy to behold.
