Once a week, on Tuesdays, there is a huge open market in Fethiye, the Tuesday Market, in Turkish "Salı Pazarı".

On fridays there is the "Cuma Pazarı" (Friday market) where you find natural and organic products, vegetables and fruits grown and sold by peasants .

You will love to spend some hours in Pazar. You will find many gifts with very reasonable prices. You will enjoy the excitement of bargaining. Do not worry, many people speak English and German.

Do not be embarrassed, bargaining is important in Turkish culture, just have fun, you will know  how much to offer, where to stop. Bargaining is a good means of communication with local people. Have a chat about anything, if you like, that is a part of your holiday in an environment not commercialized yet.

Later we will have lunch in Kayaköy (ghost town).

The village of Kayaköy (dated to the 15th cent.) lies behind the hills of Ölüdeniz approximately four and a half km away. The Village consists of over three thousand deserted homes and a whole array of establishments that once supported a whole community.

This includes five Doctors, Three Pharmacies, One school and ten monasteries. The village was deserted during a population exchange in 1923. Here you will find churches, one of which has a mural depicting Christ's last supper on an inside wall. The Village can be reached via a walk (signposted) or a Dolmus (Turkish public minibus) from the nearby town of Hisarönü.
