We love Fethiye’s blue waters, but we felt something was missing. Most visitors only see the coast, but the "Real Turkey" is hidden just a few miles up in the mountains. ️

We hand-picked this route to share the places that make us proud of our home:

Cadianda: Touch 2,500-year-old history without the crowds. Just you and the pine trees.

Üzümlü Village: Walk stone streets, meet weavers, and taste local wine where time stands still.

Ören Gorge: A local secret. Icy waters and "Kar Şerbeti" made with real mountain snow!

What makes us different?

No Big Buses: Max 18 guests. Like a road trip with friends.

Slow Pace: No rushing. Plenty of time to breathe and explore.

Local Insight: We share the hidden stories, not just the sights.

Join us for a story, not just a souvenir.

A great start to our trip in Fethiye

Truly a wonderful experience seeing the historical sites. Mehmet was our guide. He is really insightful and knowledgeable about the history and architecture. The views were breathtaking. My partner and I had an unforgettable time. There was no admission fee for any of the places we visited. In total it took about 7-8 hours. This is with a lot of time taking pictures and enjoying the sights. At this time of year (January). There aren't usually a lot of tourists. So the group consisted of just myself and my wife. So having essentially a private tour for us was great 😁
Excellent

I’ve been extremely lucky to go on several trips with Chillax with Mehmet as my guide, he’s very knowledgeable with a passion for history and taught me a lot! I’ve been delighted to explore Turkey with him and look forward to more explorations in May!

Mehmet is an excellent guide. His historical knowledge of the local area and beyond is excellent. The views are amazing. Wear warm clothes and walking shoes (no flip flops) as it's cooler up in the hills. If you want to see this beautiful country without lots of tourists, this tour is for you.
