Jeep Safari in Fethiye

A jeep safari in Fethiye is a cheerful journey through beautiful countryside. Breathtaking runs full of bends and obstacles sit alongside natural sights and time to relax. The safari brings a rush of euphoria and leaves everyone energised and in good spirits. This trip suits anyone who loves nature and a bit of a thrill.

The programme includes:

• the Yakapark nature reserve;
• a visit to Saklıkent Gorge;
• mud baths;
• time on Patara beach.

Insurance, the transfer from your hotel to the common starting point and the journey back to Fethiye are included in the price. Drinks and the entrance ticket to the gorge are paid for separately.

The jeep ride often turns into a cheerful water fight, so people stock up on bottles of water. Round the next bend you may be enveloped in a cloud of dust. Save your best clothes for other trips and dress simply. Bring comfortable waterproof shoes. You will also need money for extras and everything you need for the beach.

You travel the mountain roads in open-bodied jeeps that give a full view. They handle rough ground well, are equipped to every safety requirement and are in good order. Experienced drivers are at the wheel — their skill can be trusted.

At the agreed time you are collected from your hotel, and from that moment the adventure begins. Enjoying the thrill and the fine scenery, breathing mountain air, stopping in the most beautiful places — what could be better?

Nature is the best designer

The first stop is the Yakapark nature reserve, a delightful oasis where you walk beneath the thick canopy of century-old trees, past fountains and numerous ice-cold waterfalls. Gazebos, benches, landscaped terraces and an open-air pool sit comfortably among the park’s lush greenery. It is a cool, pleasant place to rest after the hot run.

Saklıkent Gorge — something new

Inside Turkey’s longest canyon you will feel like a character in an Indiana Jones film. Towering cliffs almost meeting overhead, rushing water underfoot and huge boulders accompany you the whole way. Put on water shoes — waterproof booties sold at the entrance to the gorge.

A mud spa in miniature

The mineral mud baths leave a vivid impression. The treatment is good for you, adds to everyone’s fun and makes for some amusing photographs.

Patara beach — a fine finish to the safari

This 18-kilometre stretch of fine, firm sand and the clearest water can fairly be called wild; mass tourism has barely touched it. The sea here is as it was hundreds of years ago. Wide dunes give the impression of a Moroccan desert.

The water shelves gently and is not deep. You can swim, sunbathe and rest.

Do not deny yourself the pleasure of the mountain road, with its stunning views over green valleys, hills and forest. See the parts of Turkey few people reach. This journey delivers a great deal of adrenaline and a very good mood.
