About Faralya

Lying amidst a cluster of tiny hamlets high above the Yedi Burun coastline stands Faralya. 12km from Oludeniz, Faralya overlooks the lush Butterfly Valley, home of the unique Jersey tiger butterfly. It lies in an isolated and spellbinding location that, when compared to tourist towns like Fethiye, it seems remarkably primitive: there is one grocery store and credit cards aren't accepted anywhere. But whether you're sunbathing on the beach, visiting ancient Lycian sarcophagi, heading to the ancient city of Kadyanda or swimming in the blue lagoon of Oludeniz, you will fall in love with this enchanting landscape. The best places to stay in Faralya are all small and intimate - the perfect places to unwind.

What not to miss

  • Sunbathe on the beach at the end of Butterfly Valley.
  • Hike the steep and beautiful path from Faralya to the Butterfly Valley.
  • Head to the outskirts of the village and see the ancient Lycian sarcophagi.
  • Visit the ancient 2500-year-old city of Kadyanda near Fethiye.
  • Swim in the blue lagoon of Oludeniz.

In an untamed and unbelievably beautiful location, Faralya is the perfect place to go to get away from it all. Browse through our list of the best places to stay in Faralya to start planning your trip.
