We went on a wonderful trip to this place. We first drove around the valley. There aren't many places to sit, but it's still a great place for lots of photos. There's a kokoreç-style place a bit further down the road. We rested and had a bite to eat there. The next day, we arranged a day trip by boat, and we visited the bay of this valley. It's a very beautiful place, I highly recommend it.

You park your car and after 300 meters, you reach the scenic area for photos. However, descending the hill is rocky and dangerous, and the view from above is limited. There are very few places to eat and drink, and an extraordinarily expensive portion of ice cream costs 600 TL, lemonade 350 TL. So, bring some cold water and other things.

Fethiye-Faralya. One of Fethiye's most iconic landmarks. The view is magnificent, but a bit dangerous. Be careful. You can access Butterfly Valley by sea. Boat tours are available. You can walk down from Faralya village, but you need to be professional. Video recordings are being made at the viewing point. It's about 15 km from Ölüdeniz. Further along the road, you can reach Kabak Bay.

It's a place with a magnificent view. I definitely recommend it. It's easy to get to. However, there's no access to the beach below. Apparently, you have to go by sea. We didn't go because they didn't recommend it highly. We took photos from the top and then returned. There are two or three businesses on the hill. They sell lemonade, etc. We bought lemonade from one of them for 150 TL, but it didn't taste very good. It wasn't fresh. I don't recommend it. Water would be enough.

The view is truly beautiful, but the rocks are steep and slippery, so be careful. The road leading up to Butterfly Valley is steep and winding, so be careful. The butterflies aren't as numerous as advertised. You can also take drone footage here for 800 TL.
