Two of Turkey's top things to do combine on this tour – shopping and sightseeing. Shop ‘til you drop in Fethiye's famous markets and bazaars, see the ancient Lycian tombs carved into the cliffs and taste traditional Turkish delight. And as it's a morning tour, you'll be back at your hotel in time for an afternoon by the pool.
Before you're let loose to do some serious shopping, there's a stop at a Turkish delight factory to fill your bags with these traditional sugar-dusted treats. After a stop by Fethiye's Roman-era amphitheatre, it's on to Telmessos Gold Centre where you can snap up jewellery at bargain prices. And remember, haggling isn't just a tactic here; it's tradition, so don't shy away from negotiating your way to the best deal. You'll also swing by Lycian Women's Cooperative – a non-profit organisation in association with the TUI Care Foundation, which empowers women to learn traditional weaving techniques. It's a great place to grab a unique souvenir.
You'll have more time to practice your bartering skills in the town's bustling Paspatur bazaar, and work your way through the countless stands stacked with spices, leather bags, rugs and ceramics in the weekly market. And between the bartering, you'll even get to see the cliff-carved Lycian tombs, built by the ancient civilisation that once ruled the region.
