Labranda has ruins from both the Greek times as well as the Roman times, which have been very nicely restored by Swedish archaeologists.
These are set high up on a hill, overlooking the beautiful valley below.
You need to rent a car or get a taxi to the site, and best of all no tour groups stop there, so you almost have the entire site to yourself.
This is an absolute must see!

The Carian Trail is an 800 km long distance walking path exploring the South Western corner of Turkey through the modern provinces of Mugla and Aydin. The trail is named after the Carian civilization discovering a region rich in ancient ruins and history, stone paved caravan roads and mule path connecting villages from the coast to a mountaineous hinterland. Pine forest cloak mountain slopes with olive terraces and almond grove in the valley's make up an important part of the regions economy. The trail acceses a lesser known and unspoilt region full of colour and tradition along with spectacular scenery.

After walking a path of the Lycian Trail we gave the "Akbük" part of the Carian trail a try and regretted right away not havin planned in more days. Nature, quit, history, here and there lovely people, cormorans, crystal clear waters, ducks swimming along with you, fresh air, pretyy landscapes. If this sounds like your thing, walk the Carian Way, it's unforgettable.

This is one of the most awe-inspiring ruins I have visited. Ottoman, Byzantine, Turkish, Greek, Roman... you are stepping through centuries as you walk through these ruins. There were no other people there this is not currently a mainstream tourist attraction. The archaeologist are still there. If you love ruins, history, culture, and a sense of adventure then this is a must do.
5. Mugla Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
Reviewed By w0rkingt0travel - Somerset
This is a tiny museum set around a courtyard near the Cultural Centre. Entrance is free and it is set around a sunny courtyard full of ancient statues. There are only four rooms and each has a different theme showing the history of the area. There are some good fossils and some beautiful pottery and textiles. However, the room I found particularly moving was the one containing the tombstones of gladiators who had died in combat. The translations of the tombstones describes their names but also how they died (and in one case whether it was a fair fight). A very real piece of history.

Consists of a walk of maybe 20 minutes along a narrow river, and then on to a waterfall. Fairly solid ground to walk on, but possible not for anyone who has difficulty walking

I love pebble Beaches with clear water of turquoise color. This was our second visit to Oludeniz and this year the prices increased in comparison with 2015 ones. Now the price of 2 sunbeds and a parasol is 45TRY. But you always can just lie on your towel. Ice cream was the same price as 2 years ago. This August the beach was a bit overcrowded as for me.

These are visible from, and perhaps the best views of them (especially if you you want to take a photo and get the whole tomb(s) in the picture), are from the main road between Fethiye and Kayakoy. A road/walkway goes up to the base of the tombs for a closer look, which shows they are actually in reasonably good condition. If traveling by vehicle, I would suggest that a stop here is probably best combined with a trip to the abandoned city of Kayakoy.
