Although the city of Fethiye has gained its great tourist fame due to its picturesque nature, its archaeological sites that remain today are an irreplaceable archaeological treasure, it is not necessary to go far, just follow the signs along the road leading to the hill where Fethiye Castle is and you will really be in a different place. The castle is located on the top of the hill and was built on the site where the city itself was once, and with the passage of time, the city expanded and came down to the base, while the castle of Fethiye remained alone in its beauty and grandeur. It was originally built in the eleventh century and during the fifteenth century the Knights of Rhodes rebuilt and renovated the ruins again, during which time the castle was used as a naval base. Once you climb up to the outer walls, you will see that there is not much left of the castle, but you will not be disappointed, as you will be able to look around the ruins and enjoy the view of the entire city stretching before you.
