Lycian tombs, ancient theaters and impossibly blue bays along Türkiye's Mediterranean coast. That is what Turquoise Coast (D400) promises, and it delivers. At about 210 miles (338 km), it is a drive best taken slowly, over 4–6 days, with time to pull over whenever the view demands it on the way from Fethiye to Antalya.
Open this route in XCRSNSetting out from Fethiye
Start early, with a full tank and a loose plan. Fethiye is where the road begins, and the first miles set the rhythm for everything that follows.
The first big moment is Kaputaş Beach. Give it the time it deserves; it is why many people make this trip at all.
Along the way
The road strings together Kalkan, Kaş and Olympos. Each one makes a natural break, and Kaş sits close to the middle if you want to split the drive with a night's sleep.
Do not miss Xanthos-Letoon (UNESCO World Heritage).
Arriving in Antalya
Save energy for the final stretch: Sunken city of Kekova is still ahead.
By the end you will have seen Kaputaş Beach, Xanthos-Letoon (UNESCO World Heritage) and Sunken city of Kekova, and you will understand why Turquoise Coast (D400) belongs on any list of great drives.
