Seydikemer villa rental
An inland district on the Eşen plain behind Fethiye, with large-garden villas and three of the region’s best-known sights within its own borders.

Seydikemer was split off from Fethiye in 2012 and is still catching up as a name — many listings for the area are still marketed as Fethiye. It is not a coastal town: settlement spreads across the wide Eşen plain and the foothills of the Taurus mountains behind it. Villas follow from that. Instead of sea views you get mountains, farmland and green, and plots are noticeably larger than in the coastal districts. Saklıkent Gorge, the Lycian city of Tlos and the spring-fed trout restaurants at Yakapark are all inside the district and close enough to see in one day. Some villages on the western edge — Kumluova and Karadere — run down towards the coast and sit next to the western end of Patara beach.
Where to stay in Seydikemer
Kumluova
One of the closest settlements to the sea, next to the western end of Patara. Flat, greenhouse-farming country; villas tend to be single storey with gardens.
Karadere
Between Kumluova and Eşen, in the transition between coast and plain. Often listed under the Fethiye name.
Around Saklıkent
Villages near the gorge entrance. Noticeably cooler than the plain in summer; the gorge water runs cold all season.
When to go
May and June are the easiest months — the plain is green and the gorge is running high. July and August can be hotter inland than on the coast, so a pool and shaded garden matter here. September and October stay warm with far fewer people, which suits the ancient sites.
Getting there
Dalaman (DLM) is the nearest airport, reached via Fethiye. Distances from the plain villages to the coast are longer than from Kumluova or Karadere, so check which village a property is in before booking.
Local tips
- Many listings describe this area as Fethiye. Ask for the village name — Kumluova, Karadere, Eşen — because plain and coast are quite different stays.
- The gorge water stays very cold even in August; bring a change of clothes if you have children.
- Public transport is sparse in the plain villages. A hire car is more necessary here than in the coastal districts.
