Overview
The British Honorary Consulate in Fethiye provides local consular support along one of Turkey's most scenic stretches of coastline. Fethiye sits at the start of the Lycian Way — Turkey's premier long-distance walking trail — and serves as a gateway to Ölüdeniz (the Blue Lagoon, one of Turkey's most photographed beaches), the ghost village of Kayaköy, the Saklikent gorge, and the Twelve Islands boat trip. The town and its surrounding resort areas (Hisarönü, Çalış Beach, Göcek) have a deeply rooted British community, with many UK nationals owning property or spending extended periods. The honorary consulate prioritises emergencies and vulnerable individuals.

Special Notes
Fethiye is served by Dalaman Airport, which receives direct UK flights during the holiday season. The Turquoise Coast between Fethiye and Antalya is one of the most beautiful stretches of Mediterranean coastline — paragliding over Ölüdeniz from Babadağ mountain is a signature experience. The Lycian Way, starting near Fethiye and running 540 km to Antalya, is one of the world's great long-distance walks.
