Fethiye to Akyaka and Uzunyurt: Private day trip

Thanks to Nail Cakirhan, a poet and self-taught architect, the village of Akyaka is as beautiful as it is today. In the 1970s, Cakirhan worked to preserve the region's traditional Ottoman architecture style by designing his own home. Others took note and styled their homes after him as well. Today, the buildings with red-tiled roofs, white walls, and wooden balconies sit along the peaceful Azmak River. The village's commitment to sustainable development and architectural preservation makes Akyaka a truly unique destination.

Discover this traditional mountain village where Turkish rural life remains unchanged, offering authentic encounters with agricultural traditions, handicrafts, and family hospitality. Head to the coast for beautiful, nearly untouched beaches, then go into town for home-cooked Turkish cuisine prepared using local ingredients.
