The attractive rural villages of Uzumlu & Incirkoy are around 15 kilometres from the coastal market town of Fethiye. The nearest airport is Dalaman, 60 kilometres from Uzumlu or İncirköy approximately one hours travelling time.

In the last two  years we have been wondering  why Turkey cannot develop in rural tourism as organised as in mainland of Spain, South of France, Toskana of Italy and our neighbous in Greece.

Yes, we do have some places and alternatives in this region starting with Kayakoy . But now there is a new area which  is  very close to Fethiye town , Calis beach and Dalaman International Charter Airport.

This place is  called “Uzumlu”. It has authentic village houses, a traditional life style and local people. We believe this place will be one of the most popular spots  for rural & ecological tourism in the near future. It  is a big responsibility for local authorities to  regulate carefully and keep the style as it was in  Ottoman times.

There are old village houses to purchase , to renovate and  there are  new housing developments to invest in , or finally you can buy  land and build your own home in the  traditional Ottoman style.

There is the countryside  ,and  there is culture from ancient Cadianda and Ottoman Uzumlu to modern Yesil Uzumlu.

Ancient Lycian Cadianda is situated 18 kilometres north -east of Fethiye.

Setting off from Uzumlu,  you will not regret the climb about one and half hours by foot on the long steep track  through undiscovered terrain to this ancient Lycian city,  as you reach the top and are greeted with spectacular views and a chance to explore the ruins of a theatre, stadium, baths, temple and agora.
