Local Attractions
The area surrounding the Jasmine Garden Apartments is rich in culture, steeped in history and offers many interesting places to visit…  Kaya Village (Ghost Village) - Kaya Village is approx 10 minutes drive from the Jasmine Garden Apartments. This Greek village was abandoned after the Turkish and Greek governments signed a 'population exchange' agreement in 1922. Over 1500 deserted homes and a whole array of other establishments that once supported a whole community still remain. Exploring the site via worn pathways weaving between houses and churches is a truly wonderful experience that is not to be missed! 
Lycian Tombs in Fethiye - Fethiye is home to several remarkable ancient sites. The most conspicuous being the rock tombs dating from the 4th century BC carved in the hillside above the town. The most important and famous rock tomb is that of King Amyntas which is situated on the hills overlooking the Fethiye port. Also, beside the harbour is a Roman amphitheatre and the crumbling remains of a medieval castle built by the Knights of St John.
Butterfly Valley - The Butterfly Valley is a canyon located at the base of Babadag Mountain and is home to over 35 different types of butterfly. You can reach the Butterfly Valley either by daily boats from Oludeniz Beach or walk via the steep Lycian Way. The site is protected by the World Heritage Foundation and has a 60 metre high waterfall and private beach which is a favourite of backpackers.
