Day Trip to Fethiye from the Greek Islands (Rhodes)

Guests staying on Rhodes can enjoy the Camel Riding Tour as a day trip from the Greek islands to Turkey — from Rhodes the ferry takes about 85 minutes, so the excursion can be planned between the morning and evening sailings. Pickup is at the Fethiye ferry terminal, and the tour is timed so you can catch the return ferry comfortably. For longer itineraries we check the ferry timetable first and confirm that the full programme fits your day. Please bring your passport and check the Turkish entry requirements for your nationality before travelling.

Before the ride begins, your guide shares the story of Kayakoy, once a thriving village of hundreds of stone houses spread across the hillside and left empty in the early twentieth century, which today gives the valley its haunting, timeless atmosphere. You then climb into the saddle and set off on the Kayakoy camel trekking route at a slow, steady pace that even first-time riders find comfortable.

The trail follows narrow paths through green meadows, past traditional village houses, old water wells, cultivated fields and gardens, with the fresh air of the Taurus Mountains all around you. From the height of a camel's back the landscape opens up beautifully, and there are plenty of chances for photographs along the way. After the trek you are driven back to your hotel. Lunch is not included. This short daily excursion is a great choice for children, first-time riders and anyone who wants to see the countryside around Fethiye from a different perspective.
