6- Kelebekler Vadisi
The Butterfly Valley, surrounded by steep cliffs up to 350 meters, was named Butterfly Valley because it is the habitat of more than 80 butterfly species and Tiger Butterfly. It also hosts endemic plant species other than butterflies.
In the 1960s, Vadi was sold to various individuals by tender. An agricultural engineer who bought this place cut down huge mulberry, citrus and various fruit trees on the grounds that it was old. He planned to plant saplings here with the thought that it would be more efficient and with the intention of making a lot of profit in a short time, but he could not cope with the Valley and left it without a tree, since the access to the Valley was not easy. The valley was founded in 1987 by S.S. With the efforts of the Anatolian Tourism Development Cooperative, afforestation, vineyards and gardens were created despite the mountain goats. Thus, Butterfly Valley has gained the quality of a natural paradise, as seen today.
The beach can only be reached by boat tours. The famous cliffs are the top of the slope on the left side of the photo. You can reach the center of Fethiye by car, but don’t risk yourself too much for a photo. From time to time, misfortunes may occur. We say safety first.
