I can't even see Steve anymore...
Oh my god... no, no...
Welcome to Fethiye, we're here to explore this small summer town on the southwest coast of Turkey and
find out why it is so popular among holiday goers, particularly from Britain and other countries.
we are at Fethiye's popular Amyntas Rock Tombs. The Rock Tombs are popular because
these tombs are carved into the rocks here and this whole city was here before Christ.
It should be 10 Liras to get in, but if you have a museum card it's for free.
The really cool part about this ancient city, is now it's basically built into the town of Fethiye.
There's people that live literally right underneath the tombs and they could you know
just poke their heads out of their balconies and make sure that the ancient city didn't disappear...
Really not funny.
I tried.
I would say if you ever come to Fethiye, you have to have to take
your comfortable shoes with you. You're going to be climbing everywhere.
Unless you want to spend all day every day on the beach, then you can just bring your flip flops,
I guess that's fine
Finally i made it!
(They) ruined this whole thing, can you believe? They should never let people come here.
In Dalyan, you can only see the tombs from the water because of the similar situation happened,
where people are ruining all this beautiful ancient tombs. Here, unfortunately you have
an access. When you have access this is what people do, it's really sad and i wish it wasn't the case.
I guess the main question is, is it worth to come here?
if i didn't have a museum card I don't think
I would have spent 10 liras just to climb these stairs, but the scenery from here
is absolutely amazing the whole Fethiye is literally under your feet from up here
Hope that doesn't fall on me. Anyway welcome to Turkey's Grand Canyon. It's about an hour outside
of Fethiye and we're going to show you the things that you have to do outside of Fethiye.
All right... ready?
I guess so. Normally rafting at Saklikent Gorge is 50 liras per person, but of course, Gokce became
friends with them and got us a discount to 40 liras per person, shh, don't tell anybody.
All right, all strapped in, ready to go.
We got our gear, this is my first time doing this.
Same here.
Hang on tight.
I'll do my best.
The water is so cold!
God knows what is next, but oh wow look it's a scenery right now!
Woo, woo (laughing)!
This is so cool!
Floating!
Everybody's so ahead of me right now and I'm here by myself. I can't even see Steve anymore.
Oh there's this one bird over here. Hey bird can you tell someone I'm by myself!
It's actually a really fun feeling being by myself.
Oh... oh my god... No... No...
Nobody can hear me!
Hi!
Oh, the water is freezing!
Babe, I was by myself, nobody was around me.
I'm sorry, my natural gravity took me fast down the slide
They're gonna take us, by bus back to where we started.
Thank you!
This is so scary! We have to pass through here.
How are you doing?
Cold like ice!
Steve just fell... are you okay?
Help me... this is so difficult.
We made it! Are you okay though?
I'll get over pain.
So they said this water is usually super hot it's like you can even bathe in it,
not really, but it's usually very hot!
It's quite crowded here, despite its September so off the season, and also being the corona time.
This is known to be the second or third (biggest) canyon in the world.
The second deepest canyon in the world at 300 meters and it's the third longest canyon in Europe at 16 kilometers.
And also when you enter here, they suggest you to buy these water shoes because we saw a lot
of slippers actually hanging around.
They're not the most comfortable, but they certainly get the job done.
After people get their hands dirty with the mud, they come here and leave signs, signatures,
or just clean their hands on the rocks.
So, I've never actually been to the US' Grand Canyon which
is kind of funny and here i am in turkey's Grand Canyon checking out for the first time.
So we're starting to get to a point, where the canyon's actually kind of closing in
on top of us, so you can barely see the sun sticking out from the top and its
actually really cool now, so you don't actually have to worry about wearing
sunscreen or anything like that, just bringing your Victoria Secret bag.
Are you okay?
It's not easy. You don't have to be the best athlete in the
world but you should definitely be in a little bit of good shape.
They said that there is much more, but it is so worth it.
Do you need help?
It feels like a survivor here, I hope we can make it.
Its been a while, I feel like we've been walking for a long time.
We decided not to go any further because we were told there's not much in the end.
Its slippery be careful.
Yup!
We almost made it all the way to the end, but we turned back. It gets really difficult
for the end, if you're not an experienced kind of climber or just a bit athletic.
A few pro tips, bring a bathing suit, leave everything in the car, and bring shoes with a good grip.
So we made it to Calis beach it is the public beach here in the
outskirts of Fethiye. It's supposed to be an excellent spot to come
for a sunset, but we're going to make sure to see if it's worth it to come during the daytime.
There's a lot of great little cafes along the boardwalk area for you to grab a quick and
inexpensive bite to eat and we stopped at Pals Cafe, so far the service has been friendly and
we can't wait to get our chips, our fries, to grab a quick snack before we head into the Fethiye marina.
It's a great beach if you are coming for an extended time period to Fethiye and the beach
umbrellas are only 15 liras per person, so it's not a bad deal if you're gonna spend all your day here.
Very affordable for sure, yeah there's a few beach clubs in the bays of Fethiye that we're going to
go check out in a little bit, but first we're going to go stop by the marina area of Fethiye.
We made it to the Fethiye marina and there's a lot of cafes and restaurants lined up here.
A beautiful bike path, great walking path, you can walk the entire marina if you want to and you're
going to get to the boats on the other side of the marina over there and they do daily boat tours,
they do private boat tours, they do overnight boat tours, you name it, they have it. They'll take you to
all the different parts of Fethiye and all the different private little coves that you can
only get to by doing a boat tour and they start as cheap as about 125 liras per person for the entire
day. Those are some of the great things that you could do here in the Fethiye Marina,
it's very peaceful, it's not a wild night party at all, but it's lively enough with live music
in the evenings, for you to sit down and listen to at a restaurant while you're enjoying your dinner.
Honestly I'm kind of surprised how affordable Fethiye is compared to Cesme and Bodrum.
I'm glad they are not raising up their prices, which makes our vacation much more fun
Welcome to Help Beach and Yacht Club here in Fethiye. It has its own bay and unlike Cesme
it's only 45 liras for chairs, no entrance fee just the chair fee, and beers are 35 liras
for the 50cl, compared to 52 lira in Cesme, so it's much more affordable here in Fethiye.
Gokce, what are you about to do?
I don't know!
I think I'm crazy!
She's about to go up with the guy who's a professional.... (laughing)
Back on the ground!
