Uzumlu nestles 500 metres above sea level on a fertile pleateau surrounded by imposing mountain ranges. The beauty of the setting and the charm of the village have started to attract holidaymakers and sightseers in recent years, but Uzumlu remains very much a proper working village, with the local community relying on agriculture and traditional crafts as its sources of income.
Step back in time! A beautiful and authentic Turkish mountain village, full of character and charm, famous for its Ottoman style stone cottages. As it’s name infers you will see grapevines scattered around all parts of the village and will find the locals will be happy to share their products with you.
The village’s name translates as “with grapes”, and vines producing an abundant variety of grapes are much in evidence. Fields of cotton, sesame, aniseed, wheat, barley and summer vegetables surround the village. on the lower slopes of the mountains apples, pomegranates, almonds, pears and olives are grown.
The heart of the village is its square bordered by a handful shops, a post office, a mosque and a large plane tree, as well as the all-important tea house, the meeting point and hub of local village life.
Those interested in archaeological sites can reach Tlos, Pinara, Xanthos and Leton in around an hour. However, one of the most stunningly situated classical sites of the region lies much closer to home.
Ancient Kadyanda, which has only been partially excavated, can be reached on foot from here by those not deterred by a steep, uphill hike.
Perched on the top of the hill behind Uzumlu, it has glorious views over the bay of Fethiye. Kadyanda’s relative obscurity, compared to that of more famous sites such as Ephesus, means that you can often wander undisturbed amidst the remains.
Fethiye is located in South—West Mediterranean Turkey
Fethiye with its cultural wealth, natural beauty and geography, is one of the more important tourism centers of Turkey.
