Fethiye is a touristic destination on the south coast of Turkey relatively close to Antalya.

Roads around Fethiye are generally good but be aware that most roads turn and twirl around the mountains and sea edges and drivers tend to drive somewhat carelessly. Generally the people who pick you up are Turkish either from the area or people on holidays. You will find that quite a few people do speak some English or German and are generally very eager to help.

Hitching out

During summer time or high tourist season there is a lot of traffic all along the south coast between Antalya and Izmir. There is no problem to get in and out of Fethiye in any direction since there is a lot of traffic. You should aim to get to the national main-road D400 either on Dolmuş or hitchhiking away from the center of the city following the signs for Muğla or Antalya.
