Fethiye
This fine hotel offers a contemporary seaside take on Ottoman-village chic. The service and attention to detail are impressive, with wooden beams, floors and hand-carved doors from Black Sea houses in the rooms, and pebbles from the beach in the bathroom floors.
The restaurant opens onto a curvy infinity pool overlooking the marina, the bar is an intimate spot for a sundowner, and the deluxe rooms have espresso machines and terraces with spas.
