Getting around

"Getting around Fettahlı is easiest by rental car or scooter, as public transport is limited. Dolmuş (minibuses) run along the coastal road to nearby towns like Kemer and Antalya. Taxis are available but agree on fares. Biking is popular on flat coastal paths. For island hopping, boat tours depart from the small harbor. Walking is ideal for exploring the village and beaches."
