Why sail here
Butterfly Valley is known for towering cliffs, a beach and a walk into the canyon. It can be a spectacular daytime stop on a sailing trip south of Fethiye.
Where is Butterfly Valley?
Butterfly Valley lies on the coast south of Fethiye, near Ölüdeniz. High cliffs meet the beach at the entrance to the canyon, making this one of the most striking views on a sailing itinerary along Turkey's Turquoise Coast.
What is there to do?
Enjoy the dramatic scenery from the sea, or visit the beach and valley paths if landing and weather conditions allow. The area is associated with butterfly and moth species, although sightings depend on the season and nature. Check access conditions and any entrance arrangements before going ashore.
Can you stay overnight by yacht?
Do not count on the bay being a safe overnight berth in every forecast. Anchoring, tender access and landing conditions need checking locally. It may be more suitable as a daytime visit, with a different protected location chosen for the night if conditions require.
Sailing here from Ece Marina
Guests seeking shared deck space can explore our Joy One catamaran. We'll help you work through the practical route and skipper arrangements based on your group and the forecast.
Combine with Ölüdeniz
Butterfly Valley and Ölüdeniz lie along the same stretch of coast and can be considered together when conditions are favourable. Ask our small team about Fethiye yacht charter dates and boats.
