Butterfly Valley

One of the most striking places around Fethiye is the Butterfly Valley. It is a very surprising effect to see billions and billions of butterflies covering the rocks, trunks and leaves of trees, in short, everywhere like a shawl, after some painstaking climbing in the rocky and pine valley, which was declared a 1st degree natural site on February 8, 1995 and closed to all kinds of construction. it creates. You can't notice it at first, it seems like this is the natural look. But with a sound, with a movement, the butterflies take off and cover the sky, and a shadow falls on the valley. In order to go to the Butterfly Valley, you will first go to Ölüdeniz, from there you will go down to the beach of the valley with a boat you can rent or take a minibus round trip. The bay is also known as Ködürümsü Harbour. The boat ride takes half an hour. Those who wish on the way can also stop by the blue cave. They can leave themselves in the waters of the cave and immerse themselves in the blue-green reflections. There are two paths in the Butterfly Valley at the foot of the 2000-meter Babadağ. One leads to waterfalls and the other to Faralya village. Sportsmen, those who are not even a little experienced in nature walks should not try to climb up the valley. Let them be content with going up to the first waterfall. Those who are self-confident and unable to withstand the extraordinary call of the valley will see the above-mentioned view if they continue on the ascent. The road to the village is very steep. One or two places can only be climbed with the help of a rope. If you don't have mountaineering experience, don't even try. The scenery in the village is extraordinary. If you follow the "George House" sign, you will reach a house where you can have delicious village meals accompanied by buttermilk. There is no accommodation facility on the Butterfly Valley beach. You can set up a tent or spend the night in arbours covered with shrubs and leaves, or on terraces built between tree branches. A country restaurant is set up on the beach in summers. The operators will assist and guide you on the way to the valley.
